I would like to know what those of you who support trump will do when he loses the election?

Sorry man, too religious speak for me. I’m not buying it. It’s that kind of talking in vague generalities that leads people to believe he was “right” in his predictions. Yes he was for some, but he was also very much wrong on some of the other things.

Pakistan has power outages all the damn time, by the way. Friend lives there.
 
This isn't a 1st amendment constitutional issue. Free speech was not banned by the government.

I don't disagree that many big tech companies have too much power as authoritarian overloads that control the flow of information. They are arguably more powerful than the government in many regards. So their ability to censor information could be even more dangerous. There could be many legal issues. But still not a first amendment issue.

Private companies have decided to withhold their platforms for certain types of speech that violate its TOS. Individuals still have a constitutionally-protected right to free speech but not a right to use every available platform to share it.

Now if the government forced companies to remove protected speech against its will OR forced companies to publish certain speech against its will, that would be more problematic.

Questions that could reframe the discussion: Could Democrats be using the threat of anti-monopoly legislation to influence big tech behavior now that they are assuming power? Did Republicans do the same during the last four years when they were largely in power?

The Parler case is more troubling to me because AWS kicked it off the service - which effectively shut down its business in the short term. Sure Amazon may be legally justified if they can successfully argue Parler violated its TOS.

However, since Amazon singlehandedly controls most of the internet backbone, the highlights a lot of problems. This greatly restricts options for many companies.

Many argue that its AWS business should be treated as a public utility service - basically the government should control it. That's just not a very conservative, capitalistic friendly position.

Ironically, AWS cutting off Parler might now have happened if Trump didn't end Obama's net neutrality policies.

I read something about Parler suing -- I can't immediately find the article -- alleging Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter colluded to stifle competition while in discussions with Democrats. This could be a very interesting legal show down on monopolistic practices and free speech. I suspect it will be very well-funded and have a lot more substance than the laughable election fraud cases.

Of course, conservatives are particularly outraged at the possibility that Democrats are interfering in a 1st amendment free speech issue.

But they were largely silent during the four years that Trump and top Republicans interfered with 1st amendment freedom of the press issue. Ya know, the "enemy of the people" thing...

Man I like you.
Ayn Rand fan by any chance?
 
If there's one thing that conservatives and progressives should both agree on, it's that Silicon Valley has far too much power and influence.

People thought that the Koch brothers were bad. Big Tech makes them look like amateurs when it comes to political influence. Couple that with their capability to track information and predict human behavior and you have a seriously disturbing situation.

I disagree. I would agree that they have a lot of power, but not that they have too much because they all run "opt-in" services that USA citizens are not required to use. Nor do we need to use them to get news or communicate; we have plenty of other options.
These are private businesses that only have as much power as they do users who CHOOSE to use them.

Ted Nugent's Open Letter to Joe Biden - Politicrossing

Dear Vice President Biden,

Although I refused to listen to it, I understand that during your presidential acceptance speech, you were calling for the unity of Trump supporters.

I remember four years ago my President Trump also called for unity. I remember how Congressional members of your Democratic Party responded by boycotting his inauguration. I remember how you and your Democratic party cheated and used the greatest law enforcement institution of this country to spy on my President Trump’s campaign. I remember how you and your Democratic Party created a fake Russian dossier to try and impeach my President Trump. I remember how your speaker of the house ripped up my President Trump’s beautiful State of the Union speech on National TV. I remember how you and your Democratic Party tried to impeach my President Trump over a Ukraine phone call. You accused my President Trump of pay to play. Come to find out Joe, it was really you and your son Hunter.

I remember how you and your Democratic Party blamed my President Trump over a pandemic that he had nothing to do with. I remember how you and your Democratic Party encouraged rioting and looting of my great United States of America. I remember how you and your Democratic Party used the media to spread lie after lie about my President Trump. I remember how you and your Democratic Party stole the election from my President Trump. This Trump supporter remembers all that Joe, and will NOT be unifying with your Democratic Party. Your abject criminal dishonesty is treasonous. You belong in prison along with the rest of the Swamp.
 
Still complete bullshit regardless of what a child you are.
If he invested as much time in his marriage and wife and being a husband and REAL man as you do sucking political dick . Your marriage wouldn’t be in turmoil , let me guess she’s left already or on the brink of it ? Y’all’s afternoon fights prob consist of things such as , why can’t u fuck me like a man?
