Dumb-fuck MyPillow CEO (many say it's a shit product BTW) banned from Twitter

[phrodeau]

I’m patiently waiting for Trump TV, and which viewpoints will be censored.

 

[icanhelp1]

93395013]Umm no it is not, it is a private company exercising their legal rights.
No different than if Lit bans a user here for violating the TOS.

You may not like or agree, but guess what, no one cares. So feel free to whine on...

Well BOO BOO! you're dumber than the average bear, maybe you should stick to stealing pikanic basketS in jellystone.


Civilian censorship itself doesn't carry any statutory relevancy.

Why?

I'd rather they build a pipe line to Ontario, why the fuck do I want to sell our oil to the US?

Due to the lack of a pipeline to Eastern Canada all Eastern Gas is made from Oil imported from the Saudis.

You really should educate yourself and quit stepping on your dick all the time.[/QUOTE]

Why not sell to the US. Isn't that pipeline Justin's pet project, after all he was pissed when Biden cut his balls off in the name of CLIMATE JUSTICE!

 

[phrodeau]

And here I thought that there were railroads and highways in Canada.

Not surprisingly, the boards "champions" of unlimited free speech were eerily silent when the Cheeto in chief was censoring government experts on climate change, Covid, the Russia investigation, etc,

Hmmmmm........

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Why not sell to the US.

Canada produces enough oil for our own uses plus, but we have a logistical problem on moving it. So to me, it would make more sense to build a pipeline to ship oil to our Eastern Terminals. Creates jobs, spurs Canadian economic, and cheaper Gas bills in the Eastern provinces. Instead of importing middle eastern oil to refine in our Eastern facilities.

Again educate yourself, and quit stepping on your dick

Umm stepping on your dick again.......Justin is politically in favour of it, so as to not piss off Alberta. If you are wondering why Justin might be a little sensitive on that, google National Energy Program, and see who implemented it...and how it was received by Alberta.

icanhelp1 steps on his dick again.......twice in one post.....lol

 

[adrina]

The ironic (and once again, hypocritical) thing is that these idiots want twitter etc treated like a utility when they argued against that very same thing for the internet.

Not surprising. Just more of the same bullshit.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Right, except it's not censorship

It's both. Those things are far from mutually exclusive and in fact are almost always paired.

I got the fact that Justin was *pissed off* from MSNBC, other than that I don’t give a flying fuck *CHUCKLES*

You like saying “stepping on your Dick” and you like lying. Back to Jellystone with you, lots of paths that twist and turn out there, make you feel right at home.

 

[CornusKousa]

It very much is the definition of it.

Who???

Can you point to anyone specifically on this forum??

It isn't and never will be.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/censoring

Censorship, the changing or the suppression or prohibition of speech or writing that is deemed subversive of the common good.

https://www.britannica.com/topic/censorship


You screaming about your feelings doesn’t change anything.

The fact remains that what lefty social media platforms have done and continue to do fits the definition of censorship perfectly.

Just because it makes you and team SiliconValley/Wall St. look as scummy as you are doesn’t mean it’s not censorship.

No one has been prevented from expressing their views, so it isn't censorship.
Stomp your feet all you like but words have meanings. As you just pointed out no one is being suppressed.
Feel free to give a single example of someone being suppressed. I'm happy to wait.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Absolutely none of these definitions fits Twitter or lit for that matter.

The people who run these sites can allow/exclude whatever the f they want on their own site, and you agree to those terms when you sign up. You don't have an expectation much less legal right to say/do whatever you want.

If Big Guv came along, stepped in and decided everything on lit was offensive and shut the site down, that would be censorship.

Getting booted off a site for violating its terms of use is not.

You need to go back and read those definitions

I never said otherwise....that doesn't make it not censorship to boot/ban people for saying things you don't like.

If Big Guv came along, stepped in and decided everything on lit was offensive and shut the site down, that would be censorship.

Yes it would.

Getting booted off a site for violating its terms of use is not.

Yes, it is. go read the definitions I linked from the foremost authorities on what the word censorship means. None of them qualify the definition with government action.

You seem to be conflating censorship with violating legally protected speech, they aren't the same thing. Free speech and censorship have nothing to do with the government.

 

[CornusKousa]

No one has been prevented from expressing their views, so it isn't censorship.

They have on various leftist platforms....thus it is censorship of those platforms.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

You mean "saying things which violate the contract you agreed to by using the site."

The site owners dictate the rules. You agree to the rules. If you break them, you get booted.

Not remotely censorship.

You REALLY ought to go read the definition of that word, there are no qualifiers on it. You can self censor....no TOS required.

It's still censorship, generally accepted censorship, but still censorship.

The fact they let leftist violate the "contract" which is applied vaguely and along political lines further undermines this last ditch flailing effort to put a "TOS" qualifier on the term censorship when there is none.

Just for the record, I am again 100% for these private companies right to censor their platforms.

"semantics" being the cry of those who get dragged for dishonest language manipulation.

And the only contortions here are by those trying to put qualifiers on the definition of the word censorship that just aren't part of it's definition.

Your lack of understanding still doesn't change the definition.

Check! Good one...now he is complaining one move before taking his Queen.

It's a case of you can't have your cake and eat it too.
That is one of many ways their arguments on censorship fails.

It's also like the town idiot drunk who keeps getting arrested by the town police...same old excuses every time.

 

[CornusKousa]

The definition which supports my position fully.

How so??

It's nothing of the sort LOL and why the argument hasn't failed at all.
