Wow. I've been bringing up that California case law about how even a private business can be considered public if it's entire business model is to allow people to use it's space freely and openly, and thus they must allow all forms of protective speech to go on there. And these social media companies are definitely public spaces that allow anyone to freely join those spaces, and thus should have freedom of speech protection. I think I've heard maybe one other person bring this up. Because all of these companies are based in California, the must adhere to both California's constitution and their supreme courts ruling.

@@augustgreig9420 Except the part that he's trying to "get around" was a suspension or termination, which Twitter has locked up pretty tight based on the exact wording in the ToS. It states quite clearly they can suspend or terminate an account at any time and for any or no reason, which is about as bulletproof a statement as can be made. Any time, and for any or no reason at all. Meaning they can do whatever the actual fu@$ they want when it comes to suspension/termination of an account.

[@augustgreig9420]

@@Astraeus.. Not true because they have to obey section 230 or they lose all legal protection. They aren't allowed to curate content be sure it violates the law..a ToS can't contain anything illegal, it won't hold up, and in some states just one illegal condition will get the entire thing throw out. They have no right to do this. The only issue is there hasn't been enough people sueing them, and it would probably be great if it went to the appeals court where the law could really be codefide into law, and precedent set.

Not true. A-Then Twitter shouldn't refer to themselves as a public space or advertise themselves as a social media platform B-Just by interacting with society you agree not to break any laws.

[@HarryBalzak]

You can go to the mall and protest, but unless it is a public owned mall(I doubt they exist), they can trespass you. Also, groups of more than five protesting on public land have to have a permit. Lack of a permit is legally considered a riot. Seriously. Nowadays they have even created "free speech" zones, where they relegate any protests to small out of the way areas. The government hates free speech. If you ignore what they say and pay attention to what they do it is blatantly obvious.

Why doesn't Joe ask Berenson about his "Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence" book he authored that has been widely denounced by the medical and scientific community??????

[@topsecretbear9918]

But he wasn't going reveal anything UNTIL people "on the right" started calling him out. He was refusing to, ppl started talking ish and then he comes out with a little but he still isnt saying the good parts. Credit where it is due for sure but it was pretty reluctant until recently.

[@northgambit]

saying the good parts as in... what?

I think this event + the Babylon Bee being banned is what really motivated, Elon to act. Good for you, Alex. Your courageous action gives strength to others to find their voice.

Hopefully more lawsuits will pave the way for a free and fair debate on controversial and/or political topics in the “digital town squares”.

Social media platforms are PRIVATE businesses. No one is stopping you from saying anything you want. Go stand on a street corner and "yammer away". But you can't yell fire in a crowded theater AND A PRIVATE company can set their own terns of service. Are you for big government interfering more in private business or not? You can't say yes when it suits you and no when it doesn't.

[@jackcarren8781]

I feel like if I make a bulletin board physical or online. If I want to take what you post on it down or tell you that you can't use it, that should be a 100% my decision. Same goes for everyone else.

[@eternalextrapolations]

This is the most important revelation of the 21st century.

[@pattystomper1]

The First Amendment of the US Constitution does NOT give people the right to "protest". It gives people the right to PETITION THE GOVERNMENT. Signing a Petition is completely different than violently Protesting, rioting, blocking traffic, pulling fire alarms, breaking windows, burning police cars, and harming people. So if I owned a mall, I would have every right to Prevent people from protesting on my property. That part's covered in the Second Amendment.

[@Chipwhitley274]

This man does not understand that private property doesn't work like public property. You have the right to free speech... you don't have the right to use their service to communicate your speech. There is no Constitutional protection here... there is no Constitutional violation. And forcing private property to allow protestors is not free speech protection... it is property rights violations. You can protest from public property all you want... you don't get to enter property against a property owners will. You do not get to violate other people's rights in your pursuit of expressing yours.
