Examining the Censorship-Industrial Complex and its Impact on American Small Businesses

[@rleebert6897]

End the tax deduction for advertising because it shifts the cost of advertising to all taxpayers. If business had to pay for their own ads they would spend their dollars more wisely and advertise with platforms that are the most reputable and align with their political views.

Such an important subject And barely over an hour was devoted to this topic Not many members were there to ask questions Where were the Democrats on this Committee, don't they care about Censorship anymore?

[@houndsong]

@onthefarm_4880 Oh, they care about it all right.

[@dewey_not_huey]

12 out of 27 members are Democrats, including ranking member who gave an opening statement & 1st questions from the minority.

Because it's outrage bait drummed up by conservatives, as fucking usual. And, just like the useful fucking idiots you are, you take the bait. It's not censorship. As was explained repeatedly and patiently in this hearing, your ideas are failing in the free market place of ideas. You're the biggest pack of idiots anyone's ever seen and the whole world seems to know it but you. American conservatives are laughed at around the world. You have a reputation for being stupid. Ask yourself why. It's because you are lol Yet You're too stupid to even understand that so you rage at made up boogeyman. God I can't wait for you simple, ass-backward, luddites to fade away into obscurity.

10 ppl here and 1.5 hours yet for man who identifies as a woman we get a full house, a 4 hours and all the media. We are a failed society.

It's because this is a farce. NewsMax is patently misleading opinion, not actual news, and are mad that they are being labeled for their lies.

Dr. Mary Ann Franks shouldn’t be teaching anything to anyone.

[@dewey_not_huey]

She presented as the most litetate person in the room, very smooth in her testimony. Rep Crane started out very polite, but when Franks asked to be addressed as Dr not Miss, his demeanor changed with this question in vid. BTW, this was the 1st time she asked a question be repeated. Sounded like former SEAL & freshman Congressman Crane didn't like being challenged (by a woman?)

[@dewey_not_huey]

Obviously didn't watch hrg. She was most effective witness on either side. That was 1st & only question she asked to be repeated. He was butt-hurt when she asked to be addressed as Dr. not Miss, so immediately attacked her.

[@guitarfumar]

@@dewey_not_huey None of what you said is defending her arguments, which were constitutionally incorrect imo.

[@allanm3797]

Agreed. She is repulsive.

[@crystal333]

She sounds petty, I'd be annoyed to and I am a woman so...

[@crystal333]

Miss Franks is one of those arrogant karens that always has to have the last word.. 😂

[@Boog1137]

Honey, it's okay. You're stupid, and you feel insecure about that fact. But there's no need to be a cringey little pick me girl because the scary doctor lady made you realize that you're an idiot.

[@HairyandFinanciallySolvent]

What small business? It was killed by censorship
