Topic	Trump's Supreme Court pick: ISPs have 1st Amendment right to block websites.
Tyranthraxus 07/12/18 5:30:02 PM #63:	DifferentialEquation posted... Ray_Dorset posted... DifferentialEquation posted... Fair, next. The ISPs are private companies. The 1st amendment only protects you from the government interference of free speech. Oh wait, sorry. I forgot. That reasoning only applies when universities forbid conservative speakers from coming on campus or even when public universities give the antifa mobs free reign to shut them down with their violence. What would your reaction to Comcast blocking Breitbart be? I don't go to Breitbart and Comcast is not my ISP. If both of those things were true, then I would either accept it or find another ISP that allowed access to Breitbart. Either way, I wouldn't think that just because a company is doing something I don't like that the government should regulate them to do what I want. I don't have some inherent right to access a particular website and it's not a private company's to duty to ensure that I have such access. Does a private company have a duty to allow Trump to connect to Twitter? --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:904964571] in Trump'...
