Popular Social Media People Being Banned for Mocking Anti-vax 1

Disclaimer: I dont give a fuck about the vaccine. I got 2 shots. Dont care at all either way. Its just some stupid shot I get for free.
These popular social media posters are getting banned for posting videos that they are literally mocking anti-vax people. But because their video includes some video of the anti-vax people..... they themselves are getting banned.
What do you guys think about censorship?
I think since its a private business they can do whatever they want. But we can also comment on if we think it is right or wrong.

Private business has the right to do what they want. However, at this point in history, many internet companies have become so ubiquitous in daily life that one can argue that they should be regulated as utilities rather then private organizations

Regulations on private companies start getting mighty close to compelled speech. There are arguments to be made in favor of a nationalized social network run by the government, which would have first amendment protections.
I don't think regulating internet companies as utilities is the way to go, either. Internet access? sure. That should absolutely be regulated as a utility. But making something like facebook or twitter a utility seems a step too far, in my opinion. There is a good argument to be made that being a functional adult in modern society requires internet access, but I have no trouble being a functional adult without twitter or facebook.
In response to OP:
This is an excellent illustration of actual bias on social media. Conservatives are, more often than not, treated with kid gloves, and their cries of censorship are beyond bullshit. Conservative voices get a whole lot more leeway in breaking the rules before they get the banhammer, when compared to leftists.

I think an interesting problem in censorship of social media...... is that you cant be 100 percent uncensored. If you did you would have death threats / plans, child porn, executions and shit.
And if you do moderate stuff like that specifically.... it would take tons and tons of money to do so. And it would never be perfect.
But you shouldn't censor things like flat-earthers. But maybe you should censor nazis that organize to hate whatever race? But what if they arent hurting anyone? Just being racist?
Its very tough. Every way you look at it.
Where should the line in the sand be? And who will dictate where the line is? And what system can accurately punish those that cross the line?

Every company should decide where their line is. And they will dictate and enforce that line, as they see fit.
I got banned off Parler REAL quick, for example, because I don't fit their...let's say "vibe". And that's fine. Back when I reddited, I was banned off r/conservative for the exact same reason. And that is also fine, because it is their platform, and in the case or r/conservative, it's literally in their rules that people left of Cheney will be banned immediately.
Any company can censor whatever it wants.
If the US had a national social media network, then that would be different. Now the courts can get involved. Although it would almost certainly be very much sesame credit like, to the point where I fear that will lead to mandatory profiles. Well, not technically "mandatory", but effectively mandatory. Like a driver's license.

Conservatives think that lefties get favoritism. Lefties think that conservatives get favoritism. The truth is that everyone wants to be the victim because victims are innocent and there's power in innocence.
As far as speech goes, the government telling me what speech I need to allow on my website is just as reprehensible as the government telling me what speech I can't have on my website.

Yes, I had no idea what was meant. If it's Bieber, etc, it diminishes the importance of this thread. But at any rate, as you said, people have the right to free speech and private platforms have the right to regulate content.

America is full of sensitive cry babys there is no such thing as free speech. We have what id call tallerated speech. You can say only things that wont trigger people into canceling you because they are sensitive bitches.

Mmm when I was growing up before the internet people were way more sensitive , or the same . A parent of these two kids I rode the school bus with actually came on the bus and threatened to kill me because I told his son and his daughter that their mom was open 24 hrs a day like the local gas station called Allsups .

There should be no censorship for the same reason MySpace didn't censor anyone. Free speech is free speech.

Maybe in the utopia in your head, but in this world, everyone participates in censorship.
