Ontopic Political Poo Flinging

Meh. Anything he says about politics comes from some imaginary dark place of gloom, doom, and oppression that doesn't exist. Conversing as if it does is pointless.

It ain't that bad here you know. People wouldn't be risking their lives to come here if it sucked as bad as he thinks it does.

If you didn't know better you'd think he was living in North Korea or some banana republic slum and thought he had it better than folks in the uber-oppressive evil united states.

Devin Nunes is a real asshole, too. Just mention his name around scientists who work for USGS, DWR or anyone involved in California water management and guaranteed they'll go on a rant.

Reject science, propose laws that bypass environmental legislation just so a small handful of farms in the San Joaquin valley (including his own) can have a guaranteed amount of water during a fucking drought, and pretty much obliterate the population of salmon in the Sacramento delta as a result.

Thankfully that shit never got implemented.

That's not what this is about. Not even close. Not that anyone is surprised at that being the leftists claim.

It's Twitter being a town square for free speech vs. content 'publishing' and the immunity one provides vs the other.

No doubt, Twitter claims 'those statements are not ours!!! You can't sue Twitter!!!'

Nunes is saying "that's not what's happening. 'digitally' Twitter is purposefully suppressing and not publishing some content and purposefully 'digitally' advancing and publishing other content [& here's the rub] WITHOUT letting your subscribers know Twitter is choosing what to advance."

It's either an open forum or it's not. Twitter enjoys the immunity of being an open forum, but in reality, by choosing what to advance and what to suppress they become 'publishers.'

good reading.

When Zucks testified in congress last yr he practically told congress FB was a publisher and wanted specific gov't instructions on how to proceed.

He named a fucking troll account, pretending to be his cow and pointing out his failings, in a lawsuit.

That's exactly what it's about.

You want to make the claim that a platform that enables literal nazis has a leftward bias?

Well, OK. Have fun with that.
