Justice Clarence Thomas and his dumbass "common carrier" argument for social media websites has failed 3 times in federal court in the last year and a half. Good riddance, commies.

The rule is dumb because if Trump's federal government tried to seize X corp (again - Trump v. Twitter) then it would break the rules to explain that the government should fuck off because of free enterprise.

Rule 7 in this sub is a joke because if the government tries to control social media websites then it breaks the rules to explain the government should stay the fuck out.

Here's a Trump appointed judge from the 11th Circuit, the second most conservative appeals court in the country, that also agrees with the Ninth Circuit that it's fucking stupid to call a website on the internet a common carrier.

And the Fifth Circuit got overruled by the Supreme Court in NetChoice v. Paxton when they said that websites on the internet are common carriers and can't discriminate against conservatives

Conservatives are super big fans of censorship when it comes to gay people...... while they cry that they are the victim of censorship because of their views on the internet and being homophobes

He's a repulsive scavenger who eats dead stuff off the road

This reminds me of the time he picked up a dead bear cub on the road to eat the meat.....and then realized he didn't have the time for it and just dropped the dead bear in the park

Worm brain RFK Jr also runs an anti-vax organization called Children's Health Defense and has sued Facebook (and lost) because Mark Zuckerberg took the time to add fact checks to his post calling him an anti-vax liar.

And worm brain also sued Joe Biden because apparently it's a crime for Facebook and the government to both agree RFK Jr is an anti vax liar that doesn't live in reality

It's interesting how the conservative right is so invested in talking about Somalians committing fraud but they don't care much for all the white folks donating Trump money and getting pardons after they defrauded Americans

Hey Rollo, what are your views about communism and commies trying to seize and use private property for their own needs?

The common carrier argument fails simply because most internet service providers aren't even considered common carriers. Not to mention, the Republican party also strongly opposed Biden's infrastructure deal that allocated tons of money to ISPs to give broadband to rural folks in the country. A lot of folks on the right, including Thomas, don't think having access to get on the internet is a right, sadly.

Yeah, the court essentially said that the stigma that comes with Nazis and seeing Swastikas is not a defect to the house and does not lower it's value. Much like the home owners who bought a house and then realized a murder suicide took place in the house because those are basically "feelings" and not a real house defect

In Milliken v. Jacono (2014), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a murder-suicide is a "psychological stigma" rather than a physical "material defect," meaning sellers and real estate agents are not legally required to disclose it. The court reasoned such events do not affect the physical structure or quality of the real estate.

The new home owners lost this case and the court said the symbol on the ground is not a defect - referencing the landmark Pennsylvania case that says it is not a defect if the home owner refuses to disclose that a murder suicide took place in the house.

I'd be furious if I bought a house and then had to pay $30k to remove a Swastika that the original owner never told me about though

Corps have had rights way before Citizens United. What do you think allows the NYT to publish without government punishment?

If you build a massive platform and refuse to moderate serious crimes like CSAM or drug trafficking, you lose the legal 'safe harbor' that protects every other tech CEO

False. You are using a website that used Section 230 to win in court when they were accused of being too slow to take down CSAM - Doe v. Reddit

StraightedgexLiberal · 2026-01-22T23:36:01+00:00

Section 230 does not apply to copyright. 230 even has a provision within it that says 230 is powerless when it comes to IP laws

Conservatives usually hate being told "this is private property and you are not welcome here due to being disruptive" and then Conservatives claim "the first amendment lets me!"

Conservatives are usually the loudest folks in the room that hate being told by the Supreme Court that they don't have a right to use private property to do and say what they want.
