Freedom of speech - why is Internet leftist/communist only?

[Gibbons44]

Try to post that you dislike blacks or Indians on LinkedIn.

See what happens to your rights (and we finance that shit too)

It's highly illegal to do this and I have proof.

" Section 230(c) was designed to address early court decisions holding that, if an online platform restricted access to some content posted by others, it would thereby become a “publisher” of all the content posted on its site for purposes of torts such as defamation. As the title of section 230(c) makes clear, the provision provides limited liability “protection” to a provider of an interactive computer service (such as an online platform) that engages in “ `Good Samaritan' blocking” of harmful content. In particular, the Congress sought to provide protections for online platforms that attempted to protect minors from harmful content and intended to ensure that such providers would not be discouraged from taking down harmful material. The provision was also intended to further the express vision of the Congress that the internet is a “forum for a true diversity of political discourse.” 47 U. S. C. 230(a)(3). The limited protections provided by the statute should be construed with these purposes in mind."

So if you are a platform and you editorialize, a. k. a censor, you lose the protections of being a platform and are now liable for literally everything the users post on your website or application. That means if you are Facebook and one of your users post a video of two roosters killing each other in a cockfight, you are now liable for that video being posted.

The internet is just a technology. Presumably you mean certain social media sites. They don't tolerate hate speech. That's not "leftist". That's simple humanity. And no, you don't "finance that shit" for the simple reason that they don't charge membership fees. Social media sites are private businesses. If you don't like the way they are managed, start your own.

I work in IT infrastructure - the foundations, blocks snd piping of all this Internet stuff. And I do finance it since a large proportion of my work does not get paid.
You owe me money, and you are cunts about it.

You're dead wrong dude.

Also known as, if you editorialize you lose your protections as a platform and now you are literally responsible for everything your users post on your website, application or whatever. YouTube would become bankrupt overnight with lawsuits if it lost its platform protections for example and so would Facebook.

You don't get paid? Your choice.

[NaultD]

Is the state sending you to the gulag? Then nothing is happening to your freedom of speech.

[Gibbons44]

Oh, quite a few of the 'diverse' keep insisting on my personal attention and time, as if I am obliged to like them/entertain them.
They get very angry at me for not wanting to be their friend.

[NamerOfStars]

"Not being racist" is a leftist position now?

[Gibbons44]

Who finds anyone's preference to a particular colour racist to begin with?

[NamerOfStars]

Anyone with a dictionary. Discriminating on the basis of race is discriminating on the basis of race.

[Gibbons44]

Yeah, but discrimination is only applicable to employment as far as I know. In the personal sphere of life, one is meant to choose whom they interact with specifically on the basis of how much they like them. Business partnerships, also - you can't force people to partner with those they are not interested in.

[OddBeMe]

Is right wing always just hatred?

Yeah actually. You’re right then. The internet is lefty!

[Gibbons44]

Right wing does't care which colour youpaint over your laziness and corruptness. Left wing wants to privilege the blacks, Indians, LGBTS.

[OddBeMe]

Yes such as free college tuition or business loans where their laziness and corruption would root out.

[Mamasanma]

Liberals are very one sided

[Gibbons44]

Which is related to my question how?

[Mamasanma]

I said why is Internet like you described

[Gibbons44]

Since when are liberals one-sided? To enforce liberalism is to be limiting someone's right to having an opinion.

[Mamasanma]

They are one sided because they only care about what they think and don't like others challenging them
