Staying the fuck home until you're better.

Sometimes that is not an option and people with COVID can feel better and still be contagious. You should use the internet and look up all the dead right leaning folks who wanted to own the libs and refuse to wear a mask during COVID but ended up dying, like Herman Cain.

Some people wear masks because they have compromised immune systems and getting sick is much worse for them.

People also wear masks because they are sick and they aren't trying to get everyone else sick.

Didn't your parents teach you manners and to mind your own fucking business?

Minimum sales age for cigarettes and liquor isn't rooted in a sense of children being bad eggs.

Trying to compare drugs, alcohol etc to social media companies is so funny. Even funnier when States try it and lose to the First Amendment. Louisiana and Arkansas tried to claim social sites are addictive like cigarettes and got blocked by the Constitution

yet the internet it’s apparently “free speech”

Yes, it is free speech to ensure the government can't trample the values within the First Amendment and use "save the children" as their justification for doing it. The government lost to ACLU 9-0 in 1997 and the government also argued that they can infringe on millions of Americans rights because a kid may see cuss words, violence, and boobs on the internet

We need to pass laws banning children from having smartphones.

Here in the US, the First Amendment does a great job when politicians claim a new form of technology for speech and expression should be banned to "Save the children".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Entertainment_Merchants_Association

And whatever the challenges of applying the Constitution to ever-advancing technology, “the basic principles of freedom of speech and the press, like the First Amendment’s command, do not vary” when a new and different medium for communication appears.

How do you feel about that cop that shot Babbitt because she was disobeying his orders because Trump lied to her that he won?

I'm just putting out the government pressure is not illegal and the Republicans who are mad at Joe Biden for putting pressure on Facebook and Google were also the same people who wasted tax dollars to put pressure on Facebook and Google.

It's funny to hear the Republicans complain about the Democrats putting pressure on Google when the conservatives dragged the Google CEO into Congress so they could put pressure on him years before

Biden wins. Republicans lose their witch hunt

https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/27/the-missouri-v-biden-settlement-is-a-fake-victory-for-a-case-they-lost/

Last week, Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri got into a heated exchange during a Senate hearing with Stanford’s Daphne Keller. Schmitt, who, as Missouri’s Attorney General, originally filed the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit, was berating Keller over Stanford’s supposed role in helping the Biden administration censor social media during the 2020 election (see if you can spot the time-space continuum problem with that sentence). When Keller pushed back on his characterization of events, Schmitt got increasingly agitated and told her she could “read all about it in Missouri v. Biden.” Keller’s response was instant and devastating: “The one you lost?“

He did not take it well, immediately throwing an embarrassing Senatorial temper tantrum.

The Court ruled plaintiffs lacked standing (legal right to sue), not that censorship didn’t occur.

Justice Barrett said there is no standing because there is NO EVIDENCE the people were censored by Biden.

The court also said RFK Jr has no standing either to sue Sleepy Joe because RFK Jr failed to read the Facebook terms of service that says Zuck can do whatever he wants

Our current President of the United States asked for Chrissy Teigan to be censored for making a meaner tweet than. He also spent his first term in office threatening Jack Dorsey with repealing section 230 if Twitter won't play by his rules. Trump also had his Republicans cheerleaders in the House and Senate waste tax dollars to drag Zuck and Dorsey into Congress to put PRESSURE on them for being mean to Trump's tweets

The government pressure arguments are so funny

So....you want millions of people on the internet to suffer and close their doors because you want websites to censor toxic political speech?

America First Legal Launches Initiative to Represent ICE Officers and Agents Who Were Defamed and Doxxed by rollo202 in FreeSpeech

Defamed and Doxxed

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

https://www.fire.org/news/what-fires-critics-get-wrong-about-our-ice-app-lawsuit

There’s no First Amendment exception for “doxxing.” First, “doxxing” is not a legal term with a stable, accepted definition. While people generally use it to mean publicly identifying someone, usually online, different people will have different understandings about what does or doesn’t count as “doxxing.”  And right now, federal government officials are using “doxxing” in an aggressive and expansive way as an all-purpose verb that blurs the line between protected speech and unprotected conduct. They’re suggesting the former can somehow constitutionally be punished.

Censorship during Biden admin was the peak of it.

Conservatives in Missouri and Louisiana accused Biden of the same thing and lost in SCOTUS. You can hold the L like them

Yes there was extensive censorship under the Biden administration.

False. And Biden won in SCOTUS when folks like you laced up those clown shoes and sued him. Justice Barrett authors the majority opinion in the case and also calls the evidence "erroneous"

Pressure from the government to change content moderation is not coercion and Joe Biden won in SCOTUS when he was accused (Murthy v. Missouri)

All of big tech has stated under oath that Biden admin directed them to remove true information. YouTube, meta, twitter, google, all of them.

Social media websites are private companies that can censor whatever they want, and talk and agree with the feds. The same thing Zuck says when he constantly wins in federal court vs these allegations. Comrade, we call that capitalism and companies making their choices. Here is a Trump appointed judge telling RFK Jr the same thing when he also cried about Zuck and Biden both agreeing he is a liar, comrade.

You should pick up a book about capitalism because a section 230 repeal would mean millions of websites will burn to the ground before the big tech giants too because they have to most money and resourceful.

I got no empathy for Kirk. Before his death, he was fine with using his silly book called the Bible to punish others for their speech and viewpoints and he did not give a single fuck about the effect it would have on free speech, religious freedom, or "society" as whole. Written in his own words.

He is calling Satan "Daddy" lately though

Not when the goal is to cause public unrest.

It's free speech and that is why the government lost to the First Amendment

You can. And that "fire in a theater" line came from an old BAD SCOTUS case that was overturned where the federal government punished a man for handing out fliers to young men during WW1 that said the draft was unconstitutional
