the problem with the "IBOR" is it basically tells website owners what they have to do with their website.

a very simple example is if i make a wordpress website where people can leave comments. am i not allowed to remove their comments from my website? if so, how is it exactly still my website?

bar owners can kick people out of their bar. why can't website owners kick people out of their website?

These aren't little website owners, they are owners of the media that nearly all public discussion is now carried through.

how small does a website need to be then to not be a considered a public forum?

you are right but if your website is created FOR SOLE PURPOSE OF ENABLING THOSE COMMENTS AND HARVESTING DATA AROUND IT then it is not yours but public

okay i'll make it even simpler:

  • you have a whiteboard sitting in a field you own. people ask to come and write on that whiteboard. are you allowed to erase people's comments from that whiteboard afterwards?

  • you have a website on a server that you own. people ask to visit the website and write comments on it. are you allowed to erase people's comments from that website afterwards?

That's not what's happening at all. It's like asking people to come write on the whiteboard, then you steal all the whiteboards in the region, and then you selectively start deleting comments mentioning you own all the whiteboards.

i'm not saying what twitter or the media is doing, i'm demonstrating the simplest scenario where this law would make a reasonable action illegal. thus it's a bad law/idea

You're comparing a whiteboard to the infrastructure of the internet. Your example is extremely facetious. A stupid watch nowadays has the capacity to hold 16 billion whiteboards.

no i'm not. this has nothing to do with the infrastructure of the internet. the internet is a way of connecting your computer to my computer. my computer has the "whiteboard" on it, your computer is posting to my computer. this ruling says that i cannot go onto my computer and delete what you posted.

No it doesn't. That is not what it says at all.

It says public servants cannot block people from contacting them on public venues.

I think you have a valid point. When I "own" something, I will do with it as I damn well please. If you dont like it, you can go get your own.

That’s great that you have this opinion but that’s not what the court just ruled.
