     let me say this as respectfully as I can Cleve, go fuck yourself. There are Community standards on this board believe it or not and they are enforced more stringently on TBB than they are here but that doesn't mean they don't exist. And that doesn't mean if some members decide to be as obnoxious, abusive, vulgar and anti-social as posidle that they won't have their shit removed.

     I think I was pretty fair in  asking everybody to try to keep it cool and as far as I can tell only one person has decided to ramp up his offensive behavior and that's you. Don't forget that one of the set reasons for warning points is simply being a douchebag. 

     if you think somebody else here has been worse than (or even in the same vicinity as)  you feel free to let me know.

     I have recently, just for the sake of fairness, deleted some posts from men who are far more intelligent and witty and much less universally despised than you.

    Technically that sounds like flirting to me.

    The answer to speech you do not like or agree with is not censorship but more speech.

    And that's great, but if I go off on a tangent on this board that is Ghoolie-ish over a length period of time - what do you suppose is to happen?   Am I going to get a time out or will I just be allowed "more speech"...?   Exactly.

    If these companies don't like what someone posts to their* medium... then they may do as they please.     Regardless if I agree with it or not.

    The "more speech" was referencing opposing speech and Ghoulie got lots of that. 

    As to censorship of conservatives it is going on with Big Tech and I don't think too many would even deny it and conservatives need to fight back. The question is how? The above article I posted  lists some possible remedies.

    Platform access as a civil right seems super hilarious from the folks who shit bricks about health care being a civil right because it is more or less stealing someone else's (a doctors) labor. This is no different. Conservatives just need to start their own social media outlets. Patrioteagletrumpbook is a good start.

    Bingo.  

    If you want to list access to social media as a right, well, then we're about to get a lot of laughs about the other side of things that really matter.

    "This is equivalent to being trolled and insulted on here, then suing TBB"

    Quite a bit of difference between TBB and FB, Google and Twitter....this is not about trolling or insulting but censorship.

  • This would be a good first step:

    "Most industries have some form of regulatory body that protects consumers and assists with complaints. These ombudsmen cover everything from telcos, to banking and even the NHS, with an independent team assisting in processing consumer queries. So why shouldn’t we have a similar process with tech businesses?

    A watchdog would serve to scrutinise the powers of the big tech giants, adjust market power to allow competition to thrive, and demand greater transparency to build trust, resulting in a more positive online environment for all. We’ve seen that self-regulation hasn’t worked. A governing body that is able to implement suitable regulations that are sensible and fair would be the only solution to keep unfair practices in check."

    yea - what I heard Nunes say was akin to getting punched and his arms are tied behind his back? 

    no voice because of his being shadowbanned -  but twitter has NO problem with the onslaught of biased responses...

    No, in this case it has nothing to do with censorship.  He's suing for slander and pointing out the multiple accounts trolling him.

    Did...did you actually listen to what you posted?

    edit:  Essentially he's crying because of parody accounts and critics online. 

    double edit:

    “As part of its agenda to squelch Nunes’ voice, cause him extreme pain and suffering, influence the 2018 Congressional election, and distract, intimidate and interfere with Nunes’ investigation into corruption and Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election, Twitter did absolutely nothing,” the complaint said.... 

    Now keep in mind Nunes account has not been suspended or muted in anyway so he is welcomed to respond to said tweets.    

    One tweet is from DevinNunes'Cow   (no need for explanation here)

    ""Devin's boots are full of manure. He's udder-ly worthless and its pasture time to move him to prison," reads one tweet from Devin Nunes' Cow."

    So if you're allowed to sue over that, then I'll be real when I say the President is going to be in a world of financial hurt really fucking quickly with his twitter antics.

  • Haha this dork was crying over a Twitter account that uses cattle puns.

  • Nunes would put his head in an oven after a week on this forum.

    Shadow banning is just a more secretive form of censorship.

    Only there is little to no evidence to back up this claim. It's a conspiracy theory in truth.  Even Nunes' and his followers on Twitter admit his content is fully accessible at his home page 24/7 and his tweets are visible to any and all of his followers.     

    So to make clear - No Censorship and this is about slander. 

    Public figures are subject to criticism and ridicule protected by law in this case. - So...  that lawsuit is DoA.

    Now you move to - "Shadow banning"...   or more accurately, a conspiracy theory term Nunes' heard and is propagating. Even though his followers admit there has been zero restriction to content posted to his twitter provided you follow him.     

    Sounds like he's mad that he isn't at the top of a recommend search result, in which case, neither am I.   Guess I should sue Google for that?

    Are we about done here?
