shivas.wisdom said: I had no trouble understanding the decision itself - your representation of the decision is wrong. Yes, the Supreme Court reversed the decision; but not because it's 'not ok to censor content' as you put forth - rather, the decision was reversed because the state provided "no safeguards whatever against the suppression of nonobscene and constitutionally protected matter" in using a "system of prior administrative restraints without any provision for notice and hearing before publications are listed as 'objectionable' and without any provision for judicial review of the Commission's determination that such publications are 'objectionable.'"
I feel the simplest way to illustrate this distinction is by pointing out that the Supreme Court recommended criminal obscenity trials as the preferable method of regulation, because criminal sanctions "may be applied only after a determination of obscenity has been made in a criminal trial hedged about with the procedural safeguards of the criminal process." The decision isn't that the State must refrain from censorship - it's that the State must provide baked-in procedural safeguards to the process.
Exactly. The Government can't censor unless they show content is illegal. Precisely my point.

There was clearly coercion and aggrieved parties (that is clear from the Twitter Files), and you saying otherwise doesn't change that.
Don't take my word for it, look at the Twitter Files:

No. I want social media platforms to stop censoring content, which the rest of you are cheerleading for.

I can't think of anything less free speechy than to be telling privately owned entities that they have to help platform shit they don't believe or know is just downright false. But hey, in falcons ingsoc world, free is as free doesn't.

Falcon is the most anti free speech person in this thread. He constantly defends Russia banning social media sites because he doesn’t like the speech they platform. He’s a liar and a fraud and nobody should take him seriously. He’s perfectly fine censoring a wide variety of speech he doesn’t like.

Consistently framing well-thought and supported arguments (like my summary of Bantam Books, Inc. v. Sullivan) as "poo poo head remarks" is more childish than anything I've posted. Your unsupported single sentence rebuttals amount to an erroneous opinion, and nothing more.
For example, where does the decision claim that the State must show content is illegal? That's another misrepresentation on your part. On the other hand (referring to your provided summary):
Quote:
He wrote that although the Court’s decision in Roth v. United States (1957) held that obscenity was not protected by the First Amendment, state regulations must contain certain procedural safeguards.
The decision was, as I've already explained, about providing baked-in procedural safeguards; including, but not limited to, criminal trials.
As for your continued decision to claim other people were coerced into self-censorship, based on your own interpretation of innocuous phrases like "our window on that is closing" - it's not worth the pixels it takes up on my screen, let alone a serious response. Show someone claiming State coercion if you want that response from me - but I don't care to argue against your personal make believe.

If people didn't want their representatives to be saying these things they wouldn't have voted for them. You seem to think the government has no right to free speech which is nonsense. It's literally their job to speak for the people. If people are concerned about things like misinformation on social media it's their right to ask these companies done about it. That's not the same as forcing them to do something about it.

Yep. It's clear the republican echo chamber has scrambled some brains. If they hear anything besides a very specific echo, its the result of some conspiratorial corruption.

I don't think what you posted shows a)aggrieved parties b)coercion But do explain whom is the aggrieved party? Also, how were they coerced?

No, I don't defend it, I explain it.
And I disagree with many here that more censorship means more freedom of speech.

It’s ok for the government to silence everyone who uses a social media site, but not ok for a social media site to silence speech that violates its terms of use?
This is insane logic

I didn't frame your argument as "poo poo head remarks"; it was a good summary and I even said "Exactly". I framed your calling me a liar as a poo poo head remark.
Now, I can do like you and call you a liar for saying I framed your arguments "poo poo head remarks", or I can do like an adult and say you clearly misinterpreted me. I'll take the latter approach.

Let me quote your own post:
Quote:

What's the difference between criminal and illegal?

You left out the latter part of that paragraph: "...government partners are becoming more aggressive on attribution and reporting on it. I'm going to go ahead with suspension and marking the domain as UNSAFE."
He literally said his reason for censoring was government aggression.
