Social media employees should not be arbiters of truth An "error" is a mistake in adding numbers, a misplaced punctuation mark, or an accidental sending of an email to the wrong John Smith. But one can hardly call it an "error" that Facebook, Twitter, and other big tech companies consistently discriminate against conservative viewpoints and ban conservatives any time there is even the remotest potential justification. Social media companies often decry as "conspiracy theories" the mere statement of facts that liberals dislike, which often turn out later to be indisputably true. Consider, for example, just three examples: the New York Post's accurate pre-election story about Hunter Biden's laptop, the lab-leak theory of the novel coronavirus, and the failure of the coronavirus vaccines to stop the spread of COVID. The promotion of these ideas was enough to get one banned from one or all social media platforms just a few short weeks or months ago. Today, these are universally acknowledged as fact, except by a few conspiracy-theorist holdouts. ----------------------------- The same applies to many "fact-check" sites.
More stupidity. Donald Trump was banned from Twitter for incitement of violence. Facebook followed suit. Marjorie Taylor Green was banned from Twitter for spreading false information about vaccine safety. If you’re saying these are “conservative viewpoints” then you need to check your own moral compass if you identify as conservative.
Is it that hard to understand that free speech rights applies to government and not private businesses In the United States, freedom of speech and expression is strongly protected from government restrictions by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, many state constitutions, and state and federal laws. Freedom of speech, also called free speech, means the free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference and restraint by the government.[1][2][3][4] The term "freedom of speech" embedded in the First Amendment encompasses the decision what to say as well as what not to say.[5] The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized several categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment and has recognized that governments may enact reasonable time, place, or manner restrictions on speech. The First Amendment's constitutional right of free speech, which is applicable to state and local governments under the incorporation doctrine,[6] prevents only government restrictions on speech, not restrictions imposed by private individuals or businesses unless they are acting on behalf of the government.[7]
