Conservative talkshow host Erick Erickson tore into “moron” Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday after she claimed “hate speech” did not count as “free speech” and would be targeted by her office.
“Someone needs to explain to Ms. Bondi that so-called ‘hate speech,’ repulsive though it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. She should know this,” weighed in Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume
The kind of ignores the fact that government behind the scenes leans on social media to ban users they do not like as was seen with the Homeland Security Department. They got cause from the far right and then predictably used it more against the left.
Or with israel, you won’t get banned for what you are getting banned for, they find some other pretext and because we have a zero rights online they don’t have to find something that is actually against their rules to ban you.
Social media is a public utility and needs to be regulated as such. It should be still at the state level as the feds will not do it in any good way. We should have a right to Fair enforcement of the rules, to know the decisions that went to into taking enforcement actions, and being able to appeal to a jury of our peers or whatever.
