    The J6 rioters who actually did smash things, should be prosecuted for rioting. None of this BS that's actually happened, but actual proper 'you did a couple hundred dollars worth of damage' misdemeanors/fines. The ADL has been extorting people and exerting torturous interference. They should...

    Your argument here hinges on the MAGA crowd actually smashing other people's toys. Come back with a better argument.

    Don't pretend to be a telepath. There's a reason that I included the caveat about 'since the 90's.' I don't claim encyclopedic knowledge of their case history. Did they, perchance, stand up for the rights of non-heinous people being persecuted by the state at any point?

    No, I'm pretty sure the ACLU stood up for the KKK's rights, because they've pretty much always advocated on behalf of evil. They may cover it under the aegis of free speech, freedom of assembly, or whatever, but they're generally busy defending sexual predators from the law, while also attacking...

    The middle ground is to have simple rules about 'no illegal content,' and then forums that are topical. If you don't want your site to be about politics, say that. If you want it to be about politics but not about other things, say so. At the worst, do like this and many other sites have 'Keep...

    It just comes back to the platform/publisher divide. If everything posted on Facebook is being said 'by facebook,' they absolutely have the right to censor what other people post on their website. But then they're also legally liable for everything posted on their website. If they don't want...

    I'm sorry, but if those words are what Musk actually said, his response is as milquetoast as you say the criticism of the limited Beta was. That's not a temper tantrum. That's simply him saying 'he shouldn't have done that.' Any seeing that as being Elon acting like a 'man-child' is in your own...

    I get that. It's just that Gavin McInnes is hardly some PC person who won't have things much more recent that piss the wokies off. Overly-simplistic thinking and branding, I guess.

    He left the Proud Boys what, five, six years ago? Why the heck are people still trying to use that as a primary identifier on him?

    1: Tough on crime does fit with conservatism. 2: Encouraging racism and abuse of power is a hallmark of the left, not the right. Reference the history of the Democrat Party and the KKK. 3: Elitism, a separation between the 'ruling class' and the 'common masses' is also a hallmark of leftism, not...

    Legally entitled to, sure, but it's incredibly blatant that they ban people with views they don't like, while allowing actual terrorist groups (Antifa) to stay on, and politically correct calls for violence are treated with kid gloves.

    Last I recall, he has literally won all but one legal case he's been involved in, and that case was 'you made a recording in a two-party consent state like it was made in a one-party consent state.'

    Well, this will have interesting consequences. I expect they'll either pull out of India voluntarily, or get sued to bits. Hopefully they'll literally get sued out of business, not just out of all operations in India.

    He's been in frequent legal battles with them. So frequently in fact, that his lawyer is actually a recurring character on the show. Fun guy; they give him his own spots in some of the breaks, where he explains legal concepts in some seriously sassy language.

    ...You are familiar with the legal distinction between a platform and a publisher, right? Granted, there's nowhere near as much accountability for publishers as there should be, but they are legally liable in exchange for retaining full editorial control. The thing about Social media right...

    High school Chemistry teaches you how to make bombs. Basic texts available on the internet teaches you how to make bombs. It's literally information that is impossibly easy to get out, and you would need a vast and intrusive bureaucracy to even try, which would be doomed to fail regardless...

    On the contrary, FCC requirements for holding a broadcast license have long included things like CONELRAD and emergency storm warning systems. I don't agree with the court ruling. I think it's perfectly fine for a politician to block someone on Twitter. But if the court is going to rule that's...
