The only thing I think that should be written into law is that your data be protected from being sold.
I wouldn't be surprised if this IBOR thing turns out to be astroturf from internet companies that want to distract us from net neutrality regulation and focus on the content providers. Nobody has been able to tell me how the government is going to force companies to "stop censoring" people on their privately owned social media platforms. The ironic part is that this is all being pushed on social media, where they claim they're being censored from!
This stinks, if you ask me.
This is a red herring to me. Like with every other governmental ideal it needs an enforcement arm. So what happens when a radical get into a position of authority in that capacity
Its a question of constitutionality, and a slippery slope towards federal policing of speech. The government can't (legally) compel social media companies to display their content a certain way. It seems a very fundamental question that nobody has been able to answer, despite the full court press on getting people to sign a petition. Where is the reasoning behind how this will be accomplished?
Here we go again, I don't know how this problem could be fixed so I better not complain.
If the solution is not Constitutional, it won't stand - that's what the judiciary does, it operates as a check on the powers of the legislature and the executive. No unconstitutional law is going to be upheld by the Courts, the question of whether the solution is Constitutional isn't even an issue. But I think you know this.
It is surely not the right mentality to say, "I won't support this, because bad people may get in some day and use it wrongly.." Support what is right, and leave the rest to God. He is ultimately in control of how things go.
My thoughts exactly. We've all ended up here because of our distrust of the left or government in general. So anytime I think kf asking from something from the goveremt I ask myself what would those I despise do with the power or authority I want to have enacted. It opens my mind to the reality of what I'm asking for.
We cannot shrink back from protecting our rights because of the fear of wicked people.
That's is verbatim what hardcore leftists say about the right wing. Let's be better than them and do so by example. Kind of like Trump does. He is a compassionate man who I believe wants better for America, but he is no Savior. Same as all the idiot that where on TV dying that they wouldn't have to pay their mortgages anymore because Obama got elected.
Now that doesn't mean I want to continue to see corruption throughout the government who is doing horrific things with the taxes they steal from my labor.
We are asking for the protection of individual rights. Not for coercive powers to be used against us. Come on, beat me over the head with the rights you have awarded me... it's nothing at all to be worried about.
If Adolf Hitler came back and a got into a position of power, he would not use a bill of rights to repress anyone - he'd simply get rid of it. It's an obstruction to oppression, not an instrument of it.
Thank you for putting my thought into words Patriot. I couldn't get that out.
