It's not over politics. Again, nobody is kicking people off for wearing Trump gear or whatever. People are getting kicked off for being disruptive jacka$$es.

I'm not sure what planet you're living on. Conservatives on Facebook who have done nothing more than express their political views are getting banned. That's fascism partner. You guys want to call yourself liberals and you don't even fk'ing know what that means. Alt left totalitarian I have to destroy you if you don't think just like I do is the exact opposite of liberalism and you people are just too dumb to realize how hypocritical you are. Martin Luther King was a liberal. Think about that.

We are talking about airplanes, not facebook.

The tube with wings that takes you from place to place for money? Ring a bell?

Actually I agree that Facebook (or big tech) monopolizing something huge like social media and then censoring people is a dangerous road. It can turn into corporate fascism, something we have flirted with for a while now, but the left did not advocate for that sort of unfettered capitalism. That was the neoliberal 2 party alliance.

I don't pretend to know your specific views, but I don't know a lot of conservatives who think private companies like Facebook shouldn't be legally allowed to moderate their own platforms as they see fit. And lots of conservatives aren't thrilled about breaking up monopolies either. Doesn't seem to leave a lot of avenues to deal with this issue that's incensing you.

I don't call myself a liberal, and MLK was a socialist who held a lot of disdain for the "white moderate".

Not sure what any of that has to do with the airplanes.

They can do whatever they want on their private platform, I'm completely fine with that, but they just shouldn't be able to hide behind section 230 if they do.

Not sure where you got your idea on what a "conservative" is. That's some pretty silly shiiit right there.

Joe Biden has also called for repeal of Section 230. I personally think it's a terrible idea that doesn't address what you're complaining of.

I don't see any way that removing liability protections for online platforms wouldn't result in MORE censorship, not less.

However, I don't have expertise in that field and would be interested to hear from someone who does on the ramifications of a repeal.
