[Anonymous]

As a corporation with free speech under the first amendment, I have the right to listen to the advice of my government.

Sure. Anyone has the right to listen to the advice of the government.
As a corporation, do you also have the right to censor the ideas and information of others because the government tells you to?

Yes, you can do that, if you wish. Or you can choose not to do that. Corporations can do things that they choose to do or that they are compelled to do, by shareholders, laws, etc.

This is a bs, manufactured lawsuit that no one is taking seriously.

When compelled to do it by the government, it is a direct infringement of free speech.

A request isn't compelling.

Sorry.

So you believe the government should tell tech companies what to allow and what not? I’ll remember that when Rs are in power!

"Under President Joe Biden, the shifting focus on disinformation has continued. In January 2021, CISA replaced the Countering Foreign Influence Task force with the “Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation” team, which was created “to promote more flexibility to focus on general MDM.” By now, the scope of the effort had expanded beyond disinformation produced by foreign governments to include domestic versions. The MDM team, according to one CISA official quoted in the IG report, “counters all types of disinformation, to be responsive to current events.”"

I guess conservatives feel the FSB should have free speech rights in the US??

Do you know why Trump's insurrection didn't succeed? Because most people, in government and in general, are sensible people who prefer to do the right thing. The same is true of tech companies, too.

These days, you see more robust discussions on Russia Today than in MSM

I'd be glad if hate speech was under assault! These are cesspools of misinformation and what they're spreading is akin to yelling fire in a crowded theater. It is in everyone's interest to clean this up. It's not a matter of opinion or free speech. These are efforts to complete mislead the public with fakenews.

You mean like when a state government passes legislation imposing extra taxes on a corporation to punish it for speech the state government doesn’t like?

Sorry.

A request from some random individual isn’t compelling.

A request from the government is quite compelling. There can be serious consequences for a corporation if it does not play ball.

Sorry.

Agree. I brought his attention to it when it was about 3 replies. He removed one reply, but this thread reads like two sock puppets who spank it to the Gateway Pundit.

This has to be one of the most naïve thoughts ever posted on this site
