I wrote a response but I back pedaled and deleted it. I just can't. This core thesis of this thread is just so out of touch.

If somebody painted a bunch of graffiti on his home do we think he would look at it and espouse that it is an act of free speech?

My home wasn't intended for others to post graffiti on.

If I build a wall that was 100 miles long for people to paint graffiti on, I wouldn't be offended if they did.  If hi tech sets up a site for people to chat on, I'd let them chat.

But you're missing the point of this thread.  This is about the Government being involved in censorship.




Yes it was. You don't get to tell me where I can use free speech.

I own a house, like to have graffiti on it, and asked the local neighborhood association to help me decide which graffiti is appropriate for the community. It's my home, my community, yes I think I will continue to decide what I continue to do with it.

You only get to do with it what fal thinks is appropriate for him whenever it is convenient.

The point really is that it doesn't matter if Twitter and Facebook used DHS to help moderate and police their forums, that is because they own the content and wanted to do it. Anybody can walk away from these platforms at any time and their life will probably be improved.

It does matter when it's our tax dollars paying for a private, inessential, useless company that should be paying out of pocket to private citizens to do the same job




I haven't seen anything that says Facebook or Twitter weren't paying for those services. I do agree that these are private, useless, inessential companies though. That's why I say to walk away from them. Of course some people like them, and that is okay, but there is certainly no need to use them. You will survive just fine, likely happier, without it.

That said, this entire thread pretty well misrepresents what actually happened. Another instance where Fal doesn't understand the internet. Facebook and Twitter provided a portal that DHS and other orgs could access if they wanted. They did this because they wanted the help, but they never demanded it, and the DHS never demanded it either. It's not unlike me offering you a nice dinner at my house. You can take it, you can leave it. That said, there is absolutely no protections on free speech on private property. Do you think you can walk into a shopping mall with a "Fuck Joe Biden" sign and not get kicked out? Of course you'd get the boot.

The internet is not the space you think it is if you think these places have or should have your best interests in mind.

The bad news is that the DHS and NSA and various orgs already blow tax payer money to fuck you over. It doesn't matter if it is Facebook or Twitter.

I have friends that own an S and they haven't had issues with the service. They came and picked up the car and repaired it all easy peasy. But they were all under warranty. Not sure how the non warranty cars work.

Well, the good news is that the Tesla has like many magnitudes less parts to fail. The bad news is that Tesla has no real legacy or framework to support the repairs that might be needed outside of their warranty department. I think it is like a 3 year wait for aftermarket companies to be allowed to make parts. So it is probably happening for Tesla's.

You don't seem to remember when Google and Facebook got called to Congress after joking about how little money they got for Russian ads, and they were grilled by Congress and told to bring it to zero?

Sure, Twitter didn't HAVE to censor Scott Ritter, but social media knows better than to oppose what the US wants.  Plus, their executive positions started filling up with ex-FBI officials.  Hmmm.




You are so butthurt over your favorite people. They can go host a site of their own. Boom, their content is back online.

Trump literally signed an executive order to punish social media companies via the FCC in the same week Twitter marked two of his bogus tweets as erroneous.

You really have no idea how the internet works.

As usual, Fal doesn't know how the internet works. The FBI doesn't provide incident response for breaches, you have to hire a professional to do that. Crowdstrike is on the record (many times) saying Russia hacked the server and they were the company that did the response. It is even on their website.

https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/

Quote:

Did CrowdStrike have proof that Russia hacked the DNC?

Yes, and this is also supported by the U.S. Intelligence community and independent Congressional reports.

Following a comprehensive investigation that CrowdStrike detailed publicly, the company concluded in May 2016 that two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries breached the DNC network.

The entire Seth Rich thing is unfortunate. The conspiracy has put his family under a lot of pressure and Fox News ultimately had to settle with them over their false claims.

Then people like Fal just can't let it go.

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/15/1104511732/fox-news-seth-rich-murder

Quote:

After Seth's death, many people offered to aid the Riches. Some carried hidden motivations. A man with ties to Fox News who promised to help the Riches solve their son's murder, for example, later plotted to tap their phones and hack their computers to find "the truth" about Seth, according to a sworn deposition.

That revelation was, Joel and Mary Rich say, a fresh nightmare.

"You're going, 'Oh my God, it can't be'," Mary Rich says. "And you've been taken advantage of. You're a total sucker. You're a pawn in the game. And I think every day: Who's going to bug us? What's coming at us? I will always think that."




That's a lot of fun.

Well let’s put it this way. There is crowdstrike that conducted an independent investigation using experts and professionals and they state they have proof. They even presented it to the public. Then there is you that doesn’t understand how the internet works and has proved it many times.

Who do we think we should trust? Your argument is basically “I am not an expert but [insert opinion here]”

Some real weak sauce there. Do you have a pertinent piece of information from Ray that would apply here? Or is it more confirmation bias from the guy that doesn't understand the internet.
