you are entitled to freedom of speech

you are not entitled to another person's or entity's privately owned platform

they have every right to decide whether or not they want you on their platform and if you're expressing hatred and stirring up shit, they have every right to kick you out, just as i have every right to kick you out of my house if you're stirring up shit there

hope this helps

I agree except I would change "privately owned platform" to "privately owned business" and I would delete everything after the word "platform" in your second paragraph. There doesn't even need to be a reason...some people are just dicks and if they want to play that game, they can.

But the people bitching about kneelers are also the same ones bitching that Alex Jones got removed. How do you reconcile that?

Ask the TC, he's one of the hypocrites who supports the kneelers but thinks it's fair to ban Alex Jones.

This.

The President cant go on multiple tirades about how kneelers should be fired and then complain about conservatives being silenced on social media.

The NFL isnt a social media network. In todays society Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are the town squares of speech and it operates like a monopoly.

This is the same reason public utilities cannot deny service simply because they dont like the political views of someone.

Probably for a league-wide policy, but individual owners are well within their rights to sit players like Jerry Jones said he would.

Right, but that'd be an individual team policy, not the NFL making the policy.

1. Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube are privately owned entities. They don't HAVE to let you use them.

2. They have TOSes which clearly state what you can and cannot post.

I think Trump's an idiot in general, so him being a hypocrite is not a surprise to me.

Not sure how the other folks in this topic and on CE square also being hypocrites given their disdain for Trump on this issue, though.

And yes, the NFL is indeed a private platform. The owners can decide whether to punish the kneelers or not. It's their choice and it doesn't affect you at all. They're still gonna play football either way.

Even less reason to bitch about it.

It isn't the same at all.

1) Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube are 3 separate entities.
2) You agree to the terms of service when you make an account on each of those 3 entitites
3) Alex Jones wasn't banned "simply because they don't like his political views." He was banned because of multiple offenses, the last straw being him calling for drag queens to be burned alive. You'd risk getting banned from Youtube, Facebook, Spotify, GameFAQs, and even Infowars' comment section if you said that.

On that note, what about all the players who thank God for their touchdowns afterwards? They're bringing religion in. Are you fine with that?

you are entitled to freedom of speech

you are not entitled to another person's or entity's privately owned platform

they have every right to decide whether or not they want you on their platform and if you're expressing hatred and stirring up shit, they have every right to kick you out, just as i have every right to kick you out of my house if you're stirring up shit there

hope this helps

two points

1.

monopolies established as a result of corporate cronyism by state intervention is a proxy for state censorship

especially seeing as these big platforms are in cahoots with the government itself - and other governments as well

there should not be further government intervention in this trend - but conversely the market should be made dramatically freer from a regulatory and taxation standpoint to allow for competitors to bring more accountability to these players

2.

the terms of service for these platforms are effectively a contract between the platforms and their contributors

by arbitrarily banning unsavory parties from the platform without clarifying the specifics as to how that contract was breached by the parties in question is by its very nature a breach of contract

a breach of contract, particularly which causes significant monetary damage, puts the platform in a position of liability - though the case for actionable litigation on these grounds is undermined by the very state cronyism that allows such platforms to assume unnatural monopolies to begin with

conclusion.

crony capitalism ruins everything for everyone, left and right, and though you may laugh because you're not affected, in good time the shoe will be on the other foot

such was and is why i was as sympathetic to both sides of the proverbial aisle with respect to criticism of state-facilitated corporate excesses/abuses, monopolies, and the like

So it is okay for a baker to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay wedding and the NFL forcing their players to stand during the anthem? I agree

the nfl shouldn't be able to force players to stand if it's not a contractual term, but if it is a contractual term, they have the right to demand it as a condition of employment

regardless, they should also be competing with other football leagues for viewership and sponsorships but they're deeply enmeshed with the corporate monopolies of big entertainment / big broadcasting which are enabled by the same state-interventionist forces i previously describe, which is perhaps at the root of this issue

where there is not flexibility in the form of free economic competition and the spontaneous organization of the market it facilitates, politics emerges - if people don't like the nfl for allowing players to kneel, they should have access to view other football leagues; if they don't like the nfl for for forcing players to stand, they should have access to view other football leagues as well

there are thousands of bakeries, and while i loathe the fact that some refuse to cater to gay weddings, there are abundant alternatives of comparable if not superior quality

why sue for the right to give homophobes your money, when money (or the deprivation of such) seems to talk more than anything else
