And Putin is shutting down media, blocking social media, and is contemplating the Russian equivalent of martial law. He's attacked a sovereign nation, which he previously guaranteed the security of. Yet there are people here singing his praise?
"All it takes for evil to thrive in the world is for good men to do nothing."
Ukraine isn't a utopia and corruption is well-documented. But the citizens don't deserve this kind of treatment by Putin. [bleep] Biden. [bleep] Putin. And [bleep] anybody that supports either one of them.
And Biden is telling private companies to censor the view of Americans, to block them from expressing themselves, Washington DC, looks like an armed camp, political prisoners have been in jail in horrid conditions for more than a year, and no country has in the last forty years invaded more sovereign nations and killed more innocent civilians than the United States has.
The irony, or maybe the fact that so many fail to realize it, is amazing. I watched some news go on the other day about how bad the Russia s were because they had shot up a car at a checkpoint and killed an innocent family. Fuq, that was a daily occurrence for years in Iraq.
Let me follow your logic here, Biden asking private companies to do something they should means we should support Putin? This logic doesn't hold water.
WHAT!!!!!!!! You can't be serious. Private companies should be censoring the view of Americans!!!! Are you kidding! What the f**cking socialistic side are you playing on?
The 1st Amendment guarantee's freedom of speech.............................PERIOD! There is no clause in there saying that sure, we have freedom of speech unless someone doesn't like what we are saying and that includes private companies doing business with the PUBLIC! F**CK, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT PUBLICALLY!!!!
Dude, you are an idiot or just plane ol' ignorant of our freedoms.
actually a private company has no obligation under the first amendment to guarantee free speech.
The First Amendment only protects your speech from government censorship. It applies to federal, state, and local government actors. This is a broad category that includes not only lawmakers and elected officials, but also public schools and universities, courts, and police officers. It does not include private citizens, businesses, and organizations. This means that:
A private school can suspend students for criticizing a school policy;
A private business can fire an employee for expressing political views on the job; and
A private media company can refuse to publish or broadcast opinions it disagrees with.
there are some grey areas - such as social media censoring a politician and your right to access this speech but at the end of the day, they are still a private entity who owns their platform.
