Ed Markey: We need to censor more not less Topic

Why are progressive Dems like this? Why are they so opposed to the dissemination of viewpoints (and facts) that don't fit with their narrative? Cough authoritarianism Cough

I looked it up and didn't find anything about what you're referencing. Can you quote the man so we can actually evaluate it?

If not, why are you so opposed to the dissemination of viewpoints (and facts) that don't fit with your narrative?

Unless Markey called for government intervention in censorship, I don't see how you could call it authoritarian.

“The issue is not that the companies before us today are taking too many posts down. The issue is they’re leaving too many dangerous posts up. In fact, they’re amplifying harmful content so that it spreads like wildfire and torches our democracy.” - Ed Markey

Who gets to decide what is "harmful", Ed? "Independent" fact checkers?

I don't see a major problem with Markey's comment. Unless he proposes legislation to intervene in the process, the right thing to do is to let the social media platforms regulate what is on their service.

You can criticize their application of TOS, of course, and both sides are doing that. How is what Markey said authoritarian?

Also, the idea of criticizing fact-checking as always partisan contributes far more to authoritarianism than anything Markey could say.

why do you assume what one :progressive dem" says is what all progressive dems say?

I can't handle the truth.

Someone told me that once.

From the movie screen.

He was very convincing.

It certainly isn't in these Forums.

You're right, all3, that's why the other prominent anti-anti Trumper around here basically told you to shut up and go away because you make the positions sound bad.

Facebook banned thousands of Biden ads (no refunds!) in the last week of the election but naturally allowed Trump ads to flow free, citing “technical difficulties.”

Yeah those super specific algorithms that only delete Democratic ads sure are difficult. More evidence of the conspiracy to silence conservatives.

Censorship totally sucks. IF you make comments against minorities, or gays or etc, you will be set on my most people who are against that stuff anyhow. Big government is into total control and an arm of that is in so media. In case nobody has noticed, our freedoms have been eroded big time in the past ten months, with a paper tiger virus as the 'engine' It is believed by many that we should avoid assembling in groups of 6-7 or more and that we should all wear masks. Can anybody see something wrong with this picture??

Didn't think so.. but we are being turned into robots.. and the whole scam is a joy killer, and I will bet that drug abuse and suicides are up due to increased depression and isolation. I refuse to buy the bag of crap and many love to throw mud at me for that. but that is how I see it... and I was a teenager when micro chips were what you found left in the bag.. only girls wore earrings and even then, just two. Hardware was a box of nuts and bolts, and girls didn't have tattoos. and we were a lot happier on the average. Music was about Love and Marriage, an nowadays it is death and violence.. anyhow change has come and not much for the better.. unless you need dental work.

that's not what I said. I said we do not need censorship or some elitist group telling us what we can talk about, or how .. You got that, right?

Could be you like to be controlled. I don't

hmm.. I wonder what comments about gays and minorities caused big tech to censor you?
