'Turned out the lights': Fury hits Washington Post as it refuses to run $115K anti-Musk ad

The government should not be asking private entities to do things the constitution restricts government from doing. Censorship by proxy is still censorship.
United States v. Alvarez makes clear, however, that the Supreme Court has not endorsed a general rule that “false statements receive no First Amendment protection.” Rather, the Court reinforced that only knowing or reckless false statements are unprotected.

 
Right, voluntary compliance to suppress the truth about Hunter's laptop to swing the election. How convenient.
Nobody cares about Hunter's dick picks. This is a bullshit retaliation tactic used by the right to help dump get revenge.
Life saving censorship in service to Kim Jung Biden is a new one. Please explain how nullifying the first amendment saved lives.
More nonsenical right-wing bullshit.

They govenment has the right to ASK for assistance. There was no censorship. That is reich-wing bullshit.

Just stop.

Just stop? I know you have no knowledge about anything that actually matters but the government is constrained from asking other entities from committing acts it is constitutionally prohibited from doing.

You are the authoritarian fascist, not me.

LOL, you think unreasonably narrowing my argument to false facts makes any sense? I didnt say anything about false statements, I said the government is prohibited from coercing others into doing things the government constitutionally cannot.

Get your strawman the hell out of here.

Uh, apparently you don't know the specifics of what the Biden admin pushed twitter to flag, it was primarily covid mis-info

See above.

Ahhh, doesn't know the subject, sad.

Uh, apparently you didn't read the twitter files. They did plenty of coercion that was not about Covid.

Your arrogance is only surpassed by how bad your strawman is. I do know the subject including court cases. Meanwhile, you are spit balling a fallacy and pretending you know jack or shit.

sigh....

"The correspondence between the FBI and Twitter show nothing more than examples of our traditional, longstanding and ongoing federal government and private sector engagements, which involve numerous companies over multiple sectors and industries. As evidenced in the correspondence, the FBI provides critical information to the private sector in an effort to allow them to protect themselves and their customers. The men and women of the FBI work every day to protect the American public. It is unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the American public misinformation with the sole purpose of attempting to discredit the agency."

Twitters own legal filings exposed and contradicted Musk's claims
Meanwhile, you are spit balling a fallacy and pretending you know jack or shit.
not only is misinfo not protected speech, Twitter/Musk were not censored by the US govt, Musk made a choice as to what to post, anyone can request content moderation.


Its weird to see rwers complain about rightwing moderation done by Musk at Twitter to discredit Biden....and compare it.... to Bezos protecting Musk at WAPO.

They are both working towards the Fur....er......Donald.
 
The left loved it when the media censored and/or attacked anyone who didn't adhere to the official narrative on the COVID vaccine, January 6th, the Biden laptop, etc, but now that the shoe is on the other foot they're losing their shit, and I'm here for all of it.
 
official narrative on the COVID vaccine,
We call it science. You indulge in CT

This is why the vast majority of US covid deaths in 2021 were in GOP counties, vax misinfo.

This is why measles is in outbreak for the first time in decades.

This is how we end up with that unqualified asshole as the HHS head.

It's not.

The government can ask people to avoid doing things or posting things. This is absolutely legal.
You probably already know what really went on, but if you don’t, you could look it up if you let yourself escape that liberal thought bubble you’re in.

The government CAN ask people to avoid doing things. There is no law that says they cannot and doing so IS NOT IN ANY, WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM AN ACT OF CENSORSHIP.

Spare use the mindless right-wing bullshit.

“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg said.
In his letter to the judiciary committee, Zuckerberg said the pressure he felt in 2021 was “wrong” and he came to “regret” that his company, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, was not more outspoken. Zuckerberg added that with the “benefit of hindsight and new information” there were decisions made in 2021 that wouldn’t be made today.

I hope you're getting paid enough to justify sacrificing your integrity like you're doing with your posts.

I have already addressed this.

Zuck is a cuck. He's always been a Trump ball-juggler. Naturally, he is going to attack the Biden administration for asking him to avoid posting lies and misinformation spread by the right that stupid people would think are true but are not.

There was no "PRESSURING" going on. That is bullshit Zuck spread.

Oh really? You were a party to the FBI coercing Facebook? Nope.


In the 2020 election Zuckerberg passed out more than $400 million in so-called donations to elections officials. Naturally the Biden regime never investigated the influence he bought, Biden became President. Some 27 states passed laws passed laws prohibiting this kind of influence buying in the future.

Facebook and Instagram suspended President Trump's credentials censoring him from posting.

But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a smear. Orange Man Bad is all you need.

The FBI DID NOT coerce Facebook.

Yeah, this is bad, scum like Zuck need to be stopped from interfering in elections. This has nothing to do with what we're discussing.

You seem to forget that those companies are entitled to moderate themselves. Trump was told REPEATEDLY to stop posting misinformation and did not do so. He was banned as a result of his failure to comply with the rules of the board. This is PEFRFECTLY LEGAL and is NOT CENSORSHIP.
But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a smear. Orange Man Bad is all you need.
More baseless babbling bullshit.
