>because a website like Facebook and Youtube have become a common ground for everyone They have not become common ground for everyone.
If they were common ground for everyone they would host hardcore pornography.
why is this confusing to you?

Was that the girl who got ID in real life - like her dad was a goldman sachs banker who married a chink and then their mutt kid went and did the worst porn she could find? seems it's not only the supreme gentlemen who are fucked up from being half asian half white...
Brayden White
Holy shit you’re exactly right
Hunter Edwards
Private business, own rules, do your own research etc etc.
Connor Wood
>Was that the girl who got ID in real life - like her dad was a goldman sachs banker who married a chink and then their mutt kid went and did the worst porn she could find? yes
That's not political. These sites banned him to benefit themselves in the midterms.
John Harris
yes, they should be required to host anything that is not illegal im all for the rights of private companies, far more than most people are in fact but most of these places have gained legal protection under the argument that "we are just a public forum for user generated content, we are not responsible for the things that users upload" you can't just be a public forum when you want to be and private when you don't
it doesn't work like that
Jonathan Gomez
They don't have to host Alex Jones. But just because they have the right to do what they want with their private property, it doesn't make their actions necessarily right.
You can defend someone's right to property while disagreeing with what they do with it. That's something the Trumptard chimps on this site just don't understand, due to their political and philosophical ignorance. They're unable to think outside the lines set for them by Alex Jones and Fox News, and are in a state of perpetual cognitive dissonance due to their many conflicting and often nonsensical beliefs.
Matthew White
>yes, they should be required to host anything that is not illegal lol
you think the government should require you to host videos of teenage girls being abused and summed on if you start a streaming video service
AHAHA
freedom!
Caleb Allen
>anything that is not illegal try harder brainlet
Carter Perry
Bake the fucking cake, bigot!
David Ward
videos of teen girls being abused till they cry and get bummed on by multiple 40 year old male drug addicts are not illegal
Camden Harris
Political speech enjoys extra protection. It should be illegal to ban political speech from a platform that enjoys monopoly power.
Porn should be illegal because it's not protected speech
>Porn should be illegal because it's not protected speech it literally is protected speech you retard
Joseph Price
>bummed cummed on
Jose Hill
No wonder you pay kosher tax
Owen King

Can't show it to kids. AJ on top of everything else is kid friendly according to the FCC which is what humans use as a metric for things regardless of what YouTube thinks or is held to
Luis Robinson
>half white you mean half jew?
Luke Rodriguez
Only very recently. Again there is a clear distinction between political speech which is on a special high protection status and everything else.
Jason Bennett
feels good being the nobody
Sebastian Turner
How is porn free speech and comparable to political speech
Kevin Powell
>Only very recently. Oh, I didn't know that "very recently" made it not protected speech
you idiot
Zachary Cox
>How is porn free speech and comparable to political speech ask the supreme court, it literally is
pornography is not protected under the first amendment
Ethan Garcia
As I pointed out you pay kosher tax which is legal too, so you enjoy being a cuck whose sensibilities are defined by the government
Joseph Ward
Not an argument
Logan Foster
you can't show porn to kids, retard. what part of "legal content for everyone" don't you understand?
Noah Fisher
It literally is look it up genius
Carson Martin
There are tons of videos that are age protected on YouTube, you are retarded
Xavier Diaz
Only recently was porn protected under the 1st Amendment. It was a Supreme Court ruling that struck down public decency laws. Go look it up.
Already explained the special status and protection political speech is afforded by law and court decisions. Comparing the "right" to publish smut to political speech is pure Amerimutt lolbertarian good goy nonsense.
Aaron Ramirez
I don't know why they couldn't. They'd be able to make an adults only section pretty easily.
Connor Flores
That’s actually a good point. They should have to host that content.
No it is not. Porn is not the same as political speech which is afforded special status and protection under the law.
Christopher Barnes
i refine my statement. it would be okay for a social media site claiming to be a "public forum" to delete individual videos, but not to ban entire accounts for content that is perfectly legal
just like the store of the bakers the bakery is a public area because they let people waltz in and buy stuff. it is privately owned, but treated to a degree like a public space. they cannot refuse to let people in who behave completely legally based on things like race or political affiliation but they are not required to bake a cake for anybody for any reason
in the same way, social media sites would be required to allow all users who behave legally. but they are not required to host every video and can discriminate as much as they want with them. but again, they cant ban legal users. its still a partially public space i didnt think this way before because i was failing to consider bandwidth and data storage as limited resources owned by these companies
Austin Hughes
This is a false equivalency, political speech is not obscenity.
Right, and wrong. Obscenity is a type of speech that can be regulated, including fighting words, defamation, CP, blackmail, perjury, incitement to violence and crime, and credible threats. If you want to argue that what Jones did was defamation, that's a different thing entirely.
>porn =/= politics Public broadcast of porn violates most public decency laws and is also regulated via adult ratings. Porn has its own platforms anyway
Levi White
If I say something happened and then you say oh it was only recently that is not an argument against thing happening you moron
John Evans
Well you’re literally an idiot, porn is not obscenity you are completely wrong
James Edwards
Op Picture is Asian Tigers crush
Camden Jenkins
>I mean those are covered by the first amendment, so everyone should have to host them right? >Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Point out which part implies rape videos on a private platform are covered by the 1st amendment
It literally is there was a Supreme Court case where it was rulled protected speech look at the fuck up you moron
Grayson Allen
Yes it is you are simply wrong look it up
Colton King
>porn is not obscenity you are completely wrong incorrect
Justin Ross
faceberg : it should say on the tin , "we only allow libtards" that would be honest , why don't they do it and they lie ? because they're kikes that's why , basil

Pornography is literally not obscenity
If it was it would be illegal you dumb ass
Lucas Cooper
Hans rules are made by people stop letting the government decide your sensibilities, if you're truly a left winger you should realize slavery was legal at one point
Kayden Jackson
There is actually all sorts of fucked up shit on youtube. heaps of pedo stuff that doesn't get taken down. I guess alex jones was higher priority than legitimate pedophiles
Charles Green
You fucking idiot. Obscenity is illegal, porn is not illegal. Pornography is not legally obscenity you goddamn moron
Parker Taylor
Again porn does not have the special status and protection of Political speech. This status has been established through several Supreme Court decisions and it is assumed that any kind of restriction on political speech is illegal. Stop derailing the thread turbonigger.
Daniel Scott
citation of decision otherwise go fuck yourself
Ayden Perry
No it isn't. Which is why every porn magazine mailed in the US in the last 30 years has an open letter to the postmaster in it. Dear postmaster, this publication contains no actual obscene material. Obscene speech lacks the protections. Womp womp.
Hunter Butler
If only you could look up what you were talking about and see how wrong you are but that would be too much trouble wouldn’t it
Cooper Moore
yankChan, I implore you, keep these pro-porn ghetto niggas off the computers, they're embarrassing you
Matthew Price
No it’s a giant secret it would take you all of three seconds to Google it I can’t let you see it I’m going to keep it secret for myself idiot
Alexander Wilson
Are you literally retarded? Obscenity is not protected pornography is not obscenity. Pornography is protected what about this is confusing to you what is your IQ?

From the perspective of the social media firms so far involved in removing infowars content, it has nothing to do with the first amendment. All of them have stated that he broke their terms of service, suspiciously all within a very short frame of time and for different reasons. If infowars wants to make this a first amendment issue then they need to take legal action.
Lincoln Kelly
This comment makes no sense
Owen Powell
youre a brainlet, I dont want a wikipedia page summary I have access to lexisnexis, give me a citation or fuck off and die, stop wasting our time
Mason Brooks
>pornography is not obscenity. LEL what is it then, excactly ?
Jackson Bell
(((Tech oligarchs))) should be regulated by the FCC and be forced to host political speech the same way public broadcasters are forced to carry messages by political candidates because they serve a public utility function
Leo Brown
And Infowhores staff are still on here flooding this board trying to shill up more support for their shitty snake oil salesman boss.
John Garcia
>Pornography is not legally obscenity you goddamn moron Only because no one is willing to take the time to prosecute it.
Ethan Collins

Ethan Campbell
Facebook is far more public than a bakery. The government uses it to communicate to the citizenry, and to get feedback from the citizenry. Just like Trump was disallowed from banning people, so too must Facebook not ban people for their words. Facebook has taken on a role as facilitator of communications. They also receive payment from the government for information, and so aren't just a business.
I see how hypocritical the left is. Each situation, they either flip or flop, depending on their interests.
It is already established law that restaurants have to serve niggers, even if they don't want to.
Camden Brown
oh look its the "i dont know what the first amendment is" thread number 500+
getting kicked off twitter sucks but its not illegal.
Nathan Gonzalez
Based and Redpilled Alex Jones is a clown but this move has ramifications beyond his water filter infomercials. If they can take down a civcuck like Jones for ""hate speech""" they can take down anyone.
Leo Cruz
Pretty good angle. You just took a baseball bat to the "appeal to authority" fallacy.
Gavin Parker
You're right, it's YouTube's right to decide what type of content they want to host of their servers. People will still have a right to complain and have the opinion that YouTube's reasoning for banning Alex Jones is shady though, and I think you could also argue that the sheer size of YouTube and it's usage mean that it has certain responsibilities that other sites might now have. Similar to how the EU legislated that Google isn't allowed to manipulate it's search rankings to place sponsored or their own links at the top without explicitly stating that the links are promoted.
Julian Rivera
>but its not illegal
It should be illegal to be excluded from a public platform strictly for political speech. Free speech laws should be updated to reflect the new reality of social media and the Internet
Carter Cox
>If they can take down a civcuck like Jones for ""hate speech""" they can take down anyone This. What they're inadvertently about to unleash is gonna make civ-cucks blush. We're coming back
Ian Campbell
>they can take down anyone
they can, and they dont even need an excuse.
twatter and jewtube are private companies and they can ban anyone they want at any time they feel like with without even needing an excuse.
Lincoln Martinez
Jews control all media.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You stupid GOYS
Parker Howard
The Supreme Court has never interpreted freedom of speech to include obscenity, which is generally considered to fall outside the protection of the First Amendment.
Get told, dumb fuck.
Asher Watson
YouTube is a monopoly. Competition technically exists, but none will ever be able to rival YouTube in terms of content and amount of users by a long shot. The only time a legitimate competitor could have started was about a decade ago when YouTube was still in infancy. As such, laws regarding censorship on YouTube's platform could reasonably reflect similar laws for ISPs. Inb4 "hurr durr, YouTube's not a monopoly, people can use other sites". The same goes for ISPs. A person can theoretically get service elsewhere, but it is much more difficult. While YouTube can legally censor videos as a private company, the situation is more complicated if YouTube is seen as its own entire media platform (like the internet). In such a case, prevention of political censorship could be rationalized and legal for the government to enforce. I'm not on board with that yet, but it isn't entirely unreasonable. Whatever the case, YouTube's censorship of wrongthink should concern everyone.
Nolan Nguyen
That's the same argument that was used to ban niggers from restaurants.
Lunch counters are private companies and they can ban any race they want at any time they feel like with without even needing an excuse.
Your statement is invalid, unless you agree it's ok to ban niggers.

You can't because it isn't.
United States v. Roth, 1956, 237 F.2d 796
Roth had been convicted in a district court of distributing material alleged to be "obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy and of an indecent character", and had been imprisoned for five years; on appeal, he claimed that the statute he had been convicted under violated the First Amendment.
The judge in this case, Judge Frank, was responsive to social science evidence. (Eight years earlier, in a trademark case, Triangle Publications v. Rohrlich, 167 F.2d 969, he had conducted his own impromptu survey of "adolescent girls and their mothers and sisters" to establish whether there was likelihood of consumer confusion between a magazine and a girdle called "Seventeen" and "Miss Seventeen.") He was of the opinion that Congress could legitimately limit the sale of publications if there was "moderately substantial reliable data" showing that reading or seeing those publications "conduces to seriously harmful sexual conduct on the part of normal adult human beings".
However, in his opinion there was no such data. Judge Frank did not cite a particular study but an overview of contemporary psychological literature that suggested no research evidence either to prove or disprove the assumption that "reading about sexual matters or about violence and brutality leads to anti-social actions." It is notable that violent material and sexual material were not separated out for the purposes of this literature review, which distorts its relevance to the specific issue of whether exposure to obscenity increases delinquency.

>LEL what is it then, excactly ? videos of people having sexual intercouse, having sex is what keeps the human species from going extinct. Everyone has sex, your mom has sex, that is why you exist. A camera being in the room while people engage in the behavior that keeps humanity from going extinct is not obscenity.
Obscenity is illegal, pornography is not illegal. Pornography is not obscene. Explain to me what about this fact is confusing to you and I will try to use small words and explain further

I remember on here someone had a load of screencaps of a decent white man putting vids on jewtube of his daughter's piano recital etc and how proud he was of her and then her instagram account shoing her with tyrone - anyone got them?
