Pulling a trump...then arent we all guilty Something chew on |
|||
|
Just on another website that does top 10 stuff..this article was called instant karma.. One of the entries talked about a white racist on the subway telling black folks to go the f back home. The piece talks about the racist balling his fist before one of the black men knocking him out.. And this got me thinking didnt this website pull a " trump". Legally the racist did nothing wrong ..yet this website is applauding, encouraging,condoning physical violence against racist people. They said it was justified karma that he got hit so hard that he was left unconscious . No.. it's an assault and maybe 2nd dregree murder if the racist guy dies So what' the real difference here... If we want to hold trump accountable...then shouldnt we hold other people/ websites accountable. Funny how noone mentions the obama speech where he told his supporters to go face to face, to fight...to get down and dirty. How about holding fb/ twitter accountable for even featuring such things like kathy griffen's pic w the pres. They can censor news..then claim they cant??? Arent these sites literally stirring the pot on h..atred? Let's get real twitter banned trump..but trump made twitter. Not for trump using twitter as his main access point for info.. But for the trump h.ate. Twitter became the hub for orange man bad . Yet twitter was never called to task for allowing this..fuck they made billions off of it. And if social media is now in full purge/ censorship/cutting off the money making ability of a member..then how arent they responsible for the h..atred that they allowed and profited from. Why is the action of one disgraceful..and the others..profitable.. Why is fb etc allowed to censor yet hide behind the notion that they arent liable for content... Doesnt that spur these companies to amp up the h..ate. I mean h...atred apparently is very profitable. How can you censor one group yet allow the h..atred on another...

FB, Twitter, google etc....These are all private companies. They can refuse anyone. Gay wedding cakes remember? This isn't about the 1st Amendment or censorship...It's about private property rights. Or are you are for government take over of the private sector?

@ lala My point is i honestly dont care what happens to trump. But if we are gonna hold him up as the standard... Then we must also hold up others/ companies that also groom h.ate.. I pointed to social media because of their special protection from liability.. they claim they are too large to censor/ control their sites and then they go on a purge and do that exactly... Plus they are actively censoring what is or isnt the news...whether simply not running a story or putting check marks against stories that may not be factually accurate.. But lets be honest..Twitter made billions from # orange man bad. So how is a company that actively encourages hatred...through its policies,hiring practices, who it promotes, through it's censorship Any different than an individual that does the same in front of a group. How is twitter any different then say the skin heads? Quick example fb introduced a new bot that catches racist language for flagging. But found out that..omg it flagged alot of " racist" people of color that actively slammed white people. They actually got flagged so many times they started to use another term for white people..i think it was ,marshmallow or whipped cream? My point is fb turned off that particular filter...yet put the other filters on blast to catch the real racist.. Huh?? So fb has a policy that allows hatred of one group and censorship of another

So fb has a policy that allows hatred of one group and censorship of another What Trump ( and his followers, the whole Qanon crowd)) wants is the right to lie on line without people calling him on it or holding him to standards. The 1st amendment doesn't cover that.

Being a private company doesnt resolve you from personal responsibility.. It's like Napster all over again..are you just a website that provides a space or are you responsible for what is taking place. Twitter and fb encourage hatred. It profits from it...it should also be liable for it's content.. Trying to make this issue just about trump is lame..i am using him as a template and saying is this the new standard... And we now need to aply this to others. Let's get real if walmarts fosters a culture of racism within the company.. They will be sue and fined etc. Being a private company doesnt absolve hatred...as seen with the gay cake maker.

But that's not what Trump or his followers want...They want access.. And Walmart can bar you if they want. I don't have the right to post my musings on FB anymore then I have the right to have them printed in the Washington Post. Race is a protected class, political affiliation isn't. Trump broke the rules. Repeatedly. The platforms even gave him extra leeway....Still he couldn't contain himself and was taken to the wood shed as a result.

BUT access isnt the topic of the blog..its about an individual or a company taking responsibility for their hatred. Sure you can block,censor anyone...but that doesnt remove your part in the equation. This is about trump and somehow setting him to this huge standard..yet letting the jeff bazos,the zucks of the world slide?

Are you serious..i literally dont care about trump.. I'm doing a catch 22... If your imposing these standards on trump the you need to do so with other leaders or ceos.. Or are you really that into drinking the koolaid that your missing my point

Pelosi answered you question back in 2018 when she said "We owe the American people to be there for them, for their financial security, respecting the dignity and worth of every person in our country, and if there is some collateral damage for some others who do not share our view, well, so be it...", but it's not about "owing the American people, it IS about OWNING the American people, and some are just too BLIND to see the HATRED that is SO real from her "DICTATORIAL position" as Speaker...

Or are you really that into drinking the koolaid that your missing my point Look, I get that you really don't understand the Constitution or how it works....but it provides protections for private property owners. Maybe you don't own anything of value that you'd like to protect from government seizer but a lot of us do. So it would be great if you'd stop acting like you have some right to what others own. Go make your own money, Go start your own platform....Stop trying to do what amounts to stealing from others because you can't make shit work in your life. You don't own FB...so you don't get a say. It doesn't belong to you...Jesus, even my 5 year old gets that. If it doesn't belong to you, hands off....You don't have rights involving other peoples private property... I just don't understand why you don't understand this very simple concept. IT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU.......
