Trump thinks it is illegal for people to say bad things about him

You disagree with me on this? Twitter should allow obscene content but not political speech?

It’s not a platform if they’re allowing whats posted and what’s not lol.

 That’s exactly what CNN does.

No it’s doesn’t lol. You sue CNN not the writer lol. Why the hell do you think Nick Sandmann sued CNN and Washington Post and won lol.

Twitter has a right to make whatever rules for posting content they want. You do not have a right to control what rules they make. If you don't like their rules, use a different platform. 

they set rules for what is and is not permissible on their platform. If you break those rules they can ban you. That is what a platform is. 

no, CNN is paying people to write and create content which they then spread. they are liable for that content because they are creating it.

You are missing the critical difference. CNN either directly pays people to create the content, or they go out looking for the content they want and publish it. They are therefore liable for that content because they are choosing it.

Twitter is not creating content. They are not paying people to write specific content. They are the platform. That platform has rules to post in it. As long as you obey those rules you can post anything you want. Therefore Twitter is not the content creator, they are just a platform.

Then I should be able to sue them.

Op-Ed writers generally aren’t paid but their content is still published with approval from CNN. So no.

And the content they don’t like they don’t allow.

You don’t have to pay someone to be a content creator lol. 

 They are actively suppressing content which should open the grounds for lawsuit.

why? you sue people for the things they say. Twitter isn't saying it. They are simply filtering out things that break the rules. That is not the same thing as creating content. 

True, but CNN seeks out those op-eds. Twitter doesn't seek out any content creation. They simply allow things to be posted that don't violate the rules.

the content they don't allow has broken their rules and therefore can't be posted on their platform. Those people are free to post it on another platform that is willing to let them post it.

no, you have to actually create content. Which twitter doesn't do. I don't know why this is difficult for you. 

you have yet to provide a single argument why that is true. They can't be sued for libel because they aren't creating content. So what grounds would you sue them for?

You’re saying they’re just like any ordinary company, so they should be open to lawsuit. 

 If I post an Op-Ed on CNN, I can be sued for libel. If I post the exact same thing as a Twitter post I can’t. 

Not necessarily lol. Anyone can post an Op-Ed with approval from CNN. 

What if I don’t think it broke the rules? I should be able to sue them right? But I can’t.

CNN doesn’t create content. Writers do. CNN regulates whats published.

Twitter does the same thing.

You seem to support the rich big tech billionaires who censor speech. In what world do you think this is good if they don’t even bother banning porn. Which is worse. Porn or Political Speech?

of course they can be sued. But only for things that they say. They cannot be sued for things other people say. 

No they can’t. Either way I’m surprised you’re siding with rich billionaires in this matter. No worries, I know Joe has a lot of support from Silicon Valley.

weirdly I'm taking the position that republicans would usually claim they support. That a business has the right to do business how they want. It's their software, they can make the rules to use it as they see fit. Republicans pretend like they believe in stuff like that, but you're all massive hypocrites who will turn on your "principles" as soon as they become inconvenient. 

Republicans don’t believe companies should be immune from lawsuit. You do. 

I don't think companies should be immune from lawsuit. I have never said that. I said you can't sue a company for libel when they aren't creating the content. It's really very simple. 

You can’t sue them for that cause it’s the law lmao. You’re pro-actively supporting a law that prevents people from suing companies which empowers the company and prevents accountability. Unfortunate.

lol you want them to be legally liable for things they didn't say or write. That makes no sense. 

No I’m suing them for equal protection In holding banning people like the Ayatollah who chants deaths to America and Israel

basically your argument breaks down to: you want to sue them for daring to have rules on their platform. You don't think that people spreading obvious lies that are killing people should have to have any consequences for them doing so. 

That is how you get people buying up all the supply of hydroxychloroquine (a drug that people with lupus actually need) when it has been proven to not be effective against coronavirus.

Am I wrong in saying that the First Amendment regulates govt. actions and nothing else? Genuine question.

I do care about free speech. But I also care that we try to control obscene or misleading content.

If the rules are arbitrary enforced and are biased then yes I should have the right to sue.

And no, lying is protected speech. I can lie about whatever I want.

If my doctor tells me to take it, I will

Let's correct that quote shall we,  I do care about free speech so long as I agree/approve of it.  otherwise I consider it obscene and misleading and should be censored.

you are confusing 2 very different things. Freedom of speech in a public venue, vs the speech in a privately owned application. 

But I also care that we try to control obscene or misleading content.

freedom of speech

there is NO qualified free speech. 

now if you are doing a 180 and saying private entities can make their own rules, that is generally true, but then they should fall under the same rules and regulations are news media.

There is no such thing as completely free speech. 

But I also care that we try to control obscene or misleading content.

I have never said i am fine with obscene content. Why would you think that?

no i don;t. I don't want anyone to be banned for their political opinion. I do believe people should be banned for intentionally spreading lies and misinformation. 

I do care about free speech. 

It’s funny, when a private entity censors Republicans but not Democrats it’s totally ok. Talk about “enforcing” the rules for some but not for other.

She probably doesn't get soy boys.

It's the editors and publishers that get ultimately sued, not the content creators.
