Freedom of speech isn't freedom of reach or freedom from consequences.
>>534333316watch me
>>534333316Thats exactly what freedom of speech means you retarded ESL nigger
>>534333316Try it, nigger. DEI is over. ICE is funded. You're going home, 1pbtid
>>534333316actually i agree. imagine if /pol/ had to allow lefties to take over our board, luckily we have a mod who protects our echo chamber and keeps it far right.however the problem is there's an effort to take down any social app that doesn't cave to lefties. so their point about an app being allowed to have only the types of speech the app agrees with isn't even true. a far right app would be destroyed possibly sued with their owner imprisoned or framed for CP etc
>>534333533the spam of black dicks keeps it far right? just shut the fuck up nigger lover. libtards spam this shit all day
>>534333533Build your own CDN.
>>534333533Xitter is doing fine.>framed for CPLol, is this the new cope for a bunch of pedos in the kosher rightoid sphere? "I-it's not real, they hecking framed them, they dindunufin!!!"
>>534333316That's what freedom of speech is, they can voice it wherever they want and you shouldn't be stopping them for it. As long as its words, they can't do anything you absolute muppet.

>>534333316By this logic north korea has freedom of speech.
>>534333533lefties have tried to take over this website multiple times; either they are too weak and leave too soon to accomplish anything, or they stay and get serious, they actually read to better "take over", and it is then that they start noticing.
>>534333316If I am free to hold the belief that a so-called government is illegitimate, but that belief does not provide a legal shield against complying with its unjust and immoral laws or recognizing its authority to enforce them, then I am not a free person.Simple as...
>>534333316Facebook, Twitter, and Google all recieve government tax payer money to fund their businesses. Should they not have to share their megaphone with the average person they are taking tax payer money from?
>>534334386You never were. Citizens are property of the state. The government has a monopoly on violence. The strong take what they will and the weak suffer what they must.
>>534333316Right back at you, sodomite OP.
>>534333992kek, I fucking hate leddit so much
>>534333316If there's consequences for your opinion, there's no freedom of speech.
>>534334628>You never were. I've always been.>Citizens are property of the state. I'm not a citizen. The state doesn't exist and I don't believe in your religious delusion.>The government has a monopoly on violence.There is no such thing as government. Just evil people in silly costumes.
Reddit, Google , Facebook, Twitter, etc... actually do have to host my opinions because if they delete it that means they're curating and editing content, and that makes them a publisher. Which then means the immunity they have from being liable for what users post disappears and they're criminally and financially responsible for all the CP, threats, defamation, and other shit posted to their websites.They cannot have both privileges. Being an editor does not mean freedom from consequences.
>>534333533Bitsocial solves this
>>534333316so nobody has freedom of speech really. Not even in the west.Do you anons remember the 'You will own nothing and be happy'? In practice it should be titled 'They will own everything and you won't be allowed to complain'
>>534333316Sorry, they either host free speech and aren't held liable, or they ban free speech and they are held liable for anything that gets through. Simple as.
>>534333316Yes, you can curate speech like a bonsai tree on your forum, or you can larp as le vox populi, but you don't get to do both. This internet toilet is the last bastion of free speech in the world where I can call socioeconomic factors "niggers" and pure coincidences "kikes" without ruining my life because pure coincidences WILL actively conspire to ruin my life anywhere else. And that's why I and so many others put up with the red/blue button prisoners dilemma and xwitter/eddit screencap rage bait and Ukraine war news and generational/gender d&c and other such spam. Fuck those cucks being proud of their censorship, it's why no one of substance listens to them.>>534334983Wait, are you Furreal Friends? How do I sue preddit for banning anyone who didn't vote Obama?
So why do you get so upset when people do want to hear our opinions? Why is it so very terrible when someone you don't like gets a lot of followers on Twitter? Why do you demand that Elon Musk censor people who have more reach than you?
>>534335693>This internet toilet is the last bastion of free speech in the world*banned by mods for "trolling"*
>>534333316It is, freedom of speech is literally FREEDOM OF WORDS, talk anything you allowedif anyone stupid, thats his problem
>>534333533Bot
>>534333316Isn't Hitler the one who was against freedom of speech? Pretty sure that redditor is a nazi
>>534335126>so nobody has freedom of speech reallyI'd argue that nobody had it, you just needed to know where to push to cause a meltdown and banhammer grab.I'd argue it was even worse with people who sperg about free speech, because those fuckers would resort to shadowbanning instead of a normal bans.
>>534333316the fundamental point of (a) speech is that it can be heard by other people, in the same way that the fundamental purpose of having taste buds or a sense of smell is to enable the detection of hazardous chemicals in the environment.no reach :: "you have the right to shout into the void""consequences" :: "you shouted into the void too loudly now we'll mute you forever with our deranged assassins who OD'd on our own news media brand mind poisoning"in summary, >>534333365 , faggot ass nigger.
>>534333316>cut out everyone's tongue>only issue chosen people writing implements>you have the freedom to grunt and groan but only those who own writing implements can express their ideasbasically what "freedom of reach" is. anonymous messages scratched into public bathrooms is the last true bastion of free speech.
>>534333316This is a bullshit argument. Imagine if a major social media site decided to ban all pro lgbtq content. Would the predditors just shrug their shoulders and say, "Oh well, they're allowed to do that. They don't owe us a microphone."
It literally is, Freedom of speech means freedom of reach and freedom of consequences, anything else is blatant censorship.
>>534333316The amount of global south immigrants have made them disregard what the Bill of Rights says. Maybe freedom is a white idea because fuck, these guys all hate every part of the Constitution.
>>534341421They especially hate the references to God or Christianity.
>>534333520The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".
>>534333316Monopolies are known for charging more for less. Monopoly power allows weilders to offer less than unbiased channels reaping the benefit of imposing bias to accrue tye favor of the powerful. Andyou are charged your privacy. Note that youtube does not even allow watching of videos over tor without signing in while bitchute and odysee do lacking themonopoly power to charge their viewers the price of their privacy
>>534333316Theorically social networks shouldn't be publishers and censor what they don't like due to Section 230, that has been a huge contention point since in practice they have de facto become monopolistic publishers.Free speech should be protected even more with new laws but instead you are getting more and more anti-antisemetic and israel censorship trash.They should be sued for tens of billions for their censorship during covid years.
>>534333533Shut the fuck up you nigger loving banana and rice eating kike. Your smoldering crater shithole is ground zero for the type of sodomite globalist mindvirus that has plagued the entirety of western civilization. The only thing you and every son of a bitch posting here under the US flag knows how to do, is kneel to blacks and worship transsexuals, fucking faggot. I can smell the cock on your breath from here. You received your education from a Quality Learing Center. You believe that men can give birth. Anyone competent at your workplace has been replaced by a DEI hire. Go kneel to George Floyd, get shot by ICE and set yourself on fire for Palestine

>>5343339922015 saw the invasion of twitter screencap threads 2025 saw the invasion of reddit screencap threadsgotta wonder what's in store for /pol/ in 2035
>>534333316Freedom of speech IS freedom of reach, Elon Turd.Otherwise we can lock your genocide favouring ass in jail and limit your reach permanently.Freedom from consequences is what the word FREEDOM means.No penalties by government.Fuck off with your gaslighting, you baby eating genocidal bastard.
>>534342383The constitution recognizes that you have a fundamental right to your opinion, presumes that limiting your right to express your opinion is the same as limiting your right to have it, and therefore guarantees that the government will not restrict your ability to affirm your opinions.Corporations are still violating your fundamental liberties if they curate what you're allowed to think, even if it's outside the scope of the constitution. The constitution limits what the government can do and corporations are outside that. However, the rights still exist whether the constitution applies or not.In other words, it's legal, but still a violation of your fundamental rights. Believing that it's okay for corporations to violate your rights almost definitionally means you don't believe in that right, hence, you're an authoritarian who doesn't actually believe in liberal values.Hope that clears it up for you. I understand that philosophical problems like this can be difficult.Me, I believe people should be allowed to have their own thoughts, and I believe that corporations do not and should not have the authority to decide what their users are allowed to think and believe.XKCD is just being a leftist authoritarian. The people who agree with what he says are leftist authoritarians.
>>534333992Ehhh... anon... this is a Reddit friendly site...
>>534342867>In other words, it's legalYep, thanks for playing. I accept your concession.
>>534341237>Imagine if a major social media site decided to ban all pro lgbtq content. Would the predditors just shrug their shoulders and say, "Oh well, they're allowed to do that. They don't owe us a microphone."https://gript.ie/revealed-eu-planning-forceful-merging-of-bluesky-with-x/Funnily enough the EU is proposing to make the opposite into law.They want to force Twitter to host content from BlueSky and want them to even use BlueSky's recommendation algorithm.They also want them to submit to third party moderation.
>>534342383That cartoon makes no sense.>you can say whatever you want you just have to live with being persecuted for itKek, ok.
