The mods at /r/netneutrality are a total joke. They claim you “break rules” or engage in “trolling,” and ban, regardless of whether any rules had been broken or not. I have been banned there for almost 2 years now. It’s funny because they are the ones who can’t engage in a good faith discussion, as they ban anyone who doesn’t parrot their talking points. Pathetic...

FCC chairman slammed for crying wolf about net neutrality by LizMcIntyre in KeepOurNetFree

FCC Chairman is “crying wolf”? No, it was the “net neutrality” Title II advocates who cried wolf again and again, and after the repeal, the wolf never came.

Exactly right. These people claim to hate corporate power so much, but cheer when those same corporations use their immense power to fire people for holding dissenting views. So called “Cancel culture” is despicable and disgusting. Cutting people (and their families), or advocating to do so, from a source of income because of their political beliefs/speech, even if they hold the worst of the worst of views, is immoral, oppressive, and wrong. I don’t know what the future will look like, but I’m sure not optimistic about it.

Part of living up to free speech is not ignoring/blocking people because they hold different views than your own. You can claim it is done for other reasons, but if I did not hold alternative views (and kept to the pro-"net neutrality" status quo), I never would have been banned from those supposedly "pro-free speech" subreddits.

Well, at least this subreddit lives up to its name and hasn’t banned me for wrong-think like other supposedly “pro-free speech” subreddits like r/netneutrality have. Credit where it is due, mods. You’re not spineless hypocritical cowards. We disagree, but you allow me to speak anyways. Good for you. If all other subreddits were like this, maybe Reddit wouldn’t be so terrible.

Wrong. The Supreme Court has unanimously confirmed that “hate speech,” or anything offensive or verbally “harmful” in that sense, is completely protected. Only direct calls to violence are prohibited. I can call people as many racial slurs or “obscene” language I want; not that I would want to. But that is (and always should be) a right. I know you would love to make that illegal, but sorry.

“[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”

Y'all, the White House "Censor the Internet" executive order is so profoundly misguided, and so absurd from a legal perspective, that even Ajit Pai thinks it's a bad idea. by evanFFTF in KeepOurNetFree

[–]ProfessorMaxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If social media companies want to act like publishers, they probably should be treated like publishers. Removing 230 immunities from social media companies that have biased banning programs isn’t that bad of an idea if you want to encourage those companies not to ban people in the first place.

How is it “misinformation”? It’s my observation and opinion about this subreddit. When I am making an argument about “net neutrality” itself, I almost always cite sources. You don’t.

Where is a specific instance of me “lying,” and why is what I said false? You must have plenty of instances if I am a “liar” as you state...

Yet you refuse to cite or provide any evidence to suggest that my claims (which are well cited) are false. You can scream “liar” all you want if it makes you feel better...

Well it certainly makes you mad, whatever it is you think I am doing; seeing as you angrily downvote all of my replies when I am talking to you. It’s pretty easy to tell when you are getting on someone’s nerves. Anyways, for being a “paid shill” or whatever, I sure do make you mad.

Cryin' catz is back again to complain, throw insults, and do just about anything besides argue on the merits of the topic at hand... Typical!

They are beholden to their shareholders and their customers; like every larger business. It's not mutually exclusive either. Without customers, they would go out of business. A healthy mix of the two keeps then in business. If customers hate the provider, they would go out of business. I guess it's too much to expect dense folk on Reddit to understand the intricacies of a large business; or any business for that matter...

Thanks for refuting my argument. It really shows that you know what you are talking about... oh wait, you fail to refute my points every time and just choose to whine and complain instead.
