> elites pay corporations to punish people for their speech online
>call for reform on 1st amendment
>reason being for it is that "disrespectful" comments should be punishable no matter where they are said
>root of the problem comes from "victims" insecurity,and knowledge of objective truth is fully there which is why they become so offended.
>schools teach kids to throw away their constitutional freedoms with promise that noone will ever be mean to them again and the world will be a much safer and cleaner place for humans

>people start to get used to being censored, give an inch till it turns into a mile and were getting pretty close cause this started long before our existence
>"calling stuff gay and fag is bad anyways. you shouldnt be so mean to people"
what can we actually do about this? not looking for cynical answers. i mean its really sad i even have to bring this topic to the,"politically incorrect" board of a website. why is cencorship and cancel culture the sharpest sword being thrown at our freedoms? for being known as the loudest people on earth we sure are getting our tongues stapled to our taint.
I think all censors should be drug out of their homes and beat in the head with a club.

hong kong is on the brink of a revolutionary war because they want american rights and lifestyle
and meanwhile americas left is pic related. its infuriating as fuck and im beginning to develop a real fear for my country and a learned respect for other parts of the world LIKE china where people dont have basic human rights.

you should know leaf. trump fucks a few broads and CNN is all over that like a baby on a bursting titty while the trude dude is raping your ag department and making you all learn french (the faggotest language in the world mind you). have a good weekend ZIR and choke on a maple baguette

Henry Brown
u really think fb banned offensive shit just for the clout? obviously for money.
Brayden Cruz
I'm sorry kid is ageist and also refers to goats which is offensive. I'm issuing you a citation. Two more and it becomes a demerit!

the 1st amendment really has nothing to do with facebook rules for facebook posts
the 1st amendment protects you from the bullshit we have in Canada where you can be criminally charged by your government for "inciting hatred"
Connor Green
No I'm sure everything they do is for money All companies are the same, no matter how progressive they seem to be shareholder's values reign supreme at the end of the day
Leo Morales
this is true, but at the same time its really clear that america is totally fine with facebooks rules so why would they poopoo a bills that are parallel? i mean our whole country is on the fucking cite all day every day including myself which is yes sad but effects a large number of people
Ayden Lopez
so quit facebook
I did and I never regretted it
Josiah Gutierrez
really considering this but every social media is the same now days with their policies and rules
All I use is snapchat and dating apps now. I never really discuss politics there.
The chief reason I quit facebook was to avoid the prying eyes of employers and snobby relations on my own personal life.
Just pointing out what the 1st amendment is, m8. Not saying it's fine for facebook to carry on with this. That is another reason I don't use facebook.
Dylan Reed
The 1st amendment has nothing to do with this though, that's to protect you from criminal prosecution for your speech, not to protect you from a website's rulebook which is up to the website ownership always.
Caleb Price
So don't use any. I quit in 2012 and never looked back. Remember twitter coming out and saying wow that sounds gay can't wait for that fad to go away.
Justin Garcia
>Canadian knows more about the US's laws than a American Every fucking time
word and yeah ive thought about the prying employer thing. i use an alias on every social media and just hope thats enough for employers to give up on finding me and assume i just dont use it. who knows if its working tho.
i personally agree with facebook is a US company on US soil. the constitution gives us these rights. if people signed an agreement into literal slavery and people did it it would get shut down because in our constitution it says that you cannot own slaves.
>inb4 "people sign slavery contracts every day its called a JOB"
i mean real nigger slavery where u work for absolutely nothing in return in assembly with other slaves and someone legally OWNS you and everything you own plus your time.
Gavin Evans
the company is on US soil, they must abide by our laws.

the 1st amendment doesn't make it illegal for a website to have rules on what content the website hosts though
the 1st amendment makes it illegal for government to prosecute you for your speech, it has nothing to do with facebook
let's say I own a bar, and some asshole in my bar won't shut the fuck up? he's annoying my other customers. by your logic the 1st amendment would prevent me from kicking that guy out of my bar.
just be glad you're not in Canada where the government actually can prosecute you for your speech, including online speech, and kicking a guy out of your bar is probably gonna get you assault charges
Kayden Nelson
You should be banned from here for being a faceberg using normalfag
Julian Carter
get over your suede-intellect ego and eagerness to be different than everyone else around you. i hope noone ever has to forcefully do that for you like social media ToS
