GameRager: Also what you state won't happen if the law allows free speech period(except threats/illegal stuff) on such sites & no one changes it.
Well once you give the goverment power over private industry they never take more and more power, they always run it well and they never change the limits or goals when a new leadership is elected. So I guess you have nothing to worry about.

If we worried about everything that MIGHT happen bad when doing something we'd likely never try to do anything.

Yes, bad people exist, but this is a chance we have to take and fwiw I think it's better to take the chance and try giving people freedoms online than not do so.

LootHunter: I think, you got it all backwards. It's nanny Google that comes and stops people you disagree with. (Like the ones try to prove that they are not nazi/rapist/etc.) And government regulation is supposed to stop that.

StingingVelvet: I like that you guys think giving the government power to control what a private company can have on their platform is some kind of fight for freedom. I wonder if you'll feel the same when someone completely different is running said government, with their own ideas about what Google should or should not allow.
The people that supported sweeping, unchecked federalism are the same people that promoted the Federal Reserve System and "free trade", which has given rise to megacorporations that are vastly more powerful than governments.

Again, you got it all backwards. Making laws that restrict what platform can and can't do with content has the exact purpose of preventing people (government or private board of directors) who have "their own ideas about what Google should or should not allow" messing with freedom of speech and expression.

LootHunter: Sorry, I lost your trail of thought in all those analogies. Are you saying that BBQ meat (white people) are fake? Or that
racism is fake? Or is "fake meat" mean soy-boys?

GameRager: He was saying that google being pro-racist and pro-sjw is as paradoxical/at odds as saying one is pro vegan and pro meat eating.
And *I* was saying that according to SJWs "black people can't be racist". That's racist statement by definition. Saying that SJWs aren't racist is like saying that vegans don't have food preference.

1. This. SV doesn't seem to get that some groups(including huge megacorporations) care more about the almighty dollart than people and if given the chance/there weren't laws in place they'd likely go back to the non-union/non-safety laws/child labor/worse practices if they could get away with it.

Some laws are a good thing, but some like capitalism so much they'd rather have their master but in a different form(corp rather than gov't) & can't see they are the same thing in different skins.

2. Good point on the racism thing.

This is exactly why Communism and Socialism should be implemented EVERYWHERE!
