seriously though, all social media platforms with over 5 million users should be nationalized through imminent domain to protect the 1st amendment since they are essential to the existence of an healthy public debate necessary to a functioning republic, and any corporate control over that is a threat to free speech

The government controlling and policing social media would be the worst possible outcome.

The government would be required to abide by the first amendment and would thus be unable to offer a platform to Nazis while silencing leftist speech as Twitter currently does.

Only automated (and easily manipulated) moderation, the Twitter feed itself, a feedback system based on trying to get fast reactions in a short window, the ease with which users can be harassed, the low signal to noise ratio, the difficulty of establishing yourself as a new user, the lack of anti-botting mechanisms, probably more that aren't popping into my head right away.

Hahahha when the gently caress has twitter silenced leftist speech, like that's the majority of my timeline. Hope your not talking about the banwave that took out everyone avoiding a ban with an alt account, because that took out all political stripes.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

When you say "nazi", are you talking about actual nazis, or are you talking about people like Sam Harris or Ben Shapiro?

I see this sentiment from a lot of progressives, and it's insane and evil. Republicans/conservatives have become the sane grown-ups in the political sphere somehow. Progressives are psychotic.

I mean it's a relatively pedantic point as everyone knows what you meant. I just liked the idea of imminent domain being it's own thing. Like, oh boy I'm going to seize your property any day now!

The real point is eminent domain doesn't apply to companies.

Still, all that is fairly boring, and the idea of imminent domain is much funnier.

These social media tech monopolies are shutting down and censoring all speech that doesn't align with their politics. They're mostly censoring conservatives, but they're shutting down far left people as well. And this isn't the free market, they're monopolies. Everyone needs to get on stuff like bitcute. This whole situation is turning into an orwellian nightmare.
