Topic	Liberals: 'They're a private business it's OK if they violate freedom of speech'
Damn_Underscore 08/12/18 2:03:06 PM #254:	CableZL posted... Damn_Underscore posted... hockeybub89 posted... Damn_Underscore posted... - If you don't like Donald Trump, why not just leave the country? Why didn't you leave the country during Obama? Would you have left if Trump lost? Because I didn't mind Obama. And I wouldn't have left if Hillary was president. But even if I wanted to, it's not something that I could have just done. And that's exactly why "If you don't like youtube, make your own free speech video hosting site" is a stupid argument. Companies with that amount of influence shouldn't have the same rights as individual people. That's the entire reason why people didn't like the Citizens United ruling. Websites should be able to delete offensive content. But if Alex Jones was banned for breaking the ToS of different websites, he should be able to apologize, promise not to do it again, and get his accounts back if that's what he wants. Actually, making your own video hosting site is very much something you can just do. Please, you know that I was implying making a video hosting site (or a football league) that has any viability of existing at all, let alone being as popular as Youtube or the NFL. And this is a response to @King_Hellebuyck and @Fuparulez : Businesses can and should be regulated. I know you probably agree with this already, you're just trying to be oppositional. Either way, there are several examples of Congressional Acts that regulated businesses and improved the country as a result: the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Glass-Steagall Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and the list goes on. Maybe one day there will be an act or even a Constitutional amendment that cancels the Citizens United ruling. And by the way to King_Hellebuyck again, the Citizens United ruling used the 1st Amendment to say that private organizations could spend unlimited money on political activities, almost as if they are people. Which is where the "corporations aren't people" line comes from. All of these could have been argued as going against the "freedom of speech" of businesses. But maybe businesses don't or shouldn't have the same free speech rights as people do. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:906749292] in Liberals: ...
