Oh God, have we come full circle? 8 years ago this would be the same article but about how meta was blocking conservatives...
But they never did lol. They literally amplified them.
It would be conservatives lying about being blocked.
The Supreme Court confirmed government censorship happened but didn't say it was unconstitutional. Now it seems the shoe is on the other foot, either because Trump wants it or Mark Zuckerberg wants to suck up to him.
I'm not seeing where in that article it says the Supreme Court confirmed that conservatives were being blocked by social media, let alone that social media was being forced to by the government. Can you clip me the excerpt i'm missing?
The dispute was primarily over standing.
Amy Coney Barrett claims the censorship happened before any communication with the White House or the CDC...
But as Samuel Alito notes...
While standing was denied, and the censorship may have happened before the White House requested it, it's clear the admin wanted this to happen. Otherwise the communications over this stuff wouldn't have taken place.
Your quotes are talking about blocking misinformation about COVID.
None of them are referring to blocking Conservatives.
I mean, technically you're not wrong. But the Venn diagram is nearly a circle.
Who the fuck cares what those pieces of traitor filth say?
That was not about government censorship. That was about the government being able to discuss with corporations what harmful things should be self-filtered by the corporations.
Also, since those things the government in that lawsuit wanted filtered were false and harmful misinformation related to election security and COVID, it seems conservatives equate harmful and fake shit as "conservative."
Can't say the n word?!?? Republican viewpoints are being SiLeNcEd!!!
🙄
You mean the company that hired Cambridge Analytics to help Trump win the first time was censoring conservative sources? I don't think so.
Why do people seem to think I'm saying that Meta was blocking conservatives? Are Lemmykins that bad at comprehension or are they too just egged along by the rage machine to the point where they can't think clearly?
Because those are the literal words you used?
So comprehension then. Thanks!
IDK dog if this many people misunderstood my point I'd be trying better not doubling down on blaming them but you do you
I'm happy to accept that there are a lot of stupid people on Lemmy, particularly the politics communities.
If you err, it is not correct to blame everyone else. Lest you want to commit fallacies
I did not err.
You erred. Communication is two-way. It's okay, I err sometimes. It happens. Pedantry isn't the answer.
I see you agree that I'm right and were glad to admit it. Thanks!
lol
Okay, but it seems there are a few disagreeing with it
As they pointed out - reading comprehension issues.
everybody else is wrong, surely
Only those who replied. Many didn't who likely read better.
There were many articles about conservatives saying that meta was blocking them. Twitter too. Show me how I "erred".
Because your literal words were "the same article but about how meta was blocking conservatives." Please tell the class how saying "meta was blocking conservatives" does NOT mean "Meta was blocking conservatives."
I used other words around those ones too. So comprehension is the issue. Thanks!
Damn dude you must suck at parties
There weren't articles about conservatives claiming meta was blocking them?
