That's been my general understanding based on comments by the owner and the pursuit of not being an ad based platform which would need your information.

For example, recently someone asked the owner why you can't cast videos from gab with google and the owner stated because google wanted to add trackers(or something along those lines).

What a bunch of BS. Still didn't understand what TOS are? Nobody forces you to use Twitter, FB or YT. If you do, then that means you agree with their TOS. And if you don't, then don't use it cos they don't owe you anything and can do what th fuck they want. How long do you think a far-left extremist shitting all over Trump and trumpers would last on Parler or a QAnon forum? "Muh, freedom of speech!"

This forum is a bad example since there's basically no moderation but every online board have different TOS that can get you eventually banned. And gotta love the irony of people undermining democracy and calling for sedition! violence!, civil war!, killing Pence and all the traitors for treason! whining like crybabies because "Why can't I use this platform anymore to spread my misinformation and dangerous rethorics!"

Obama was extremely divisive. The mainstream media is extremely divisive. Trump was not all that divisive. He is quite politically incorrect, egotistical, and quite vain, though. Trump didn't incite all the crap over the last 4 years......people like Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and Waters did, along with the main stream media, BLM and Antifa did. Obama locks kids in cages, but Trump gets blamed for it. Trump wants to build the wall and have immigration reform, the same thing Dems voted for in the past but never followed through with, and he gets called a racist. Trump puts up a travel ban from a handful of countries, and he is called a racist, even though several other Muslim countries were not on the ban. Trump in a Russian asset, even though he has been tough on Russia, while Obama was on video making handshake and wink deals with the Ruskies. Our economy was booming, not just rich people or white people, but across the board we were positively impacted. Our military was refurbished. The VA was upgraded. We had historic peace talks in the Middle East, with 4 Muslim countries signing deals with Israel. Trump was the first US President to meet with the leader of N Korea, and also the first to ever step foot into their country. He got NATO to start paying up. He got us out of the stupid Climate Accords that only a handful of nations were even following, and we were having to foot most of the bill. We had zero wars started under the Trump years. For such a hate monger, the second coming of Hitler was horrible at getting us into foreign entanglements.

Yes, he says some outrageous things, even pisses people off, who have thin skin. But he did a lot of great things as President. It is too bad Congress spent most of its time trying to make him look bad, instead of actually passing positive legislation for the country. I include all of Congress in this, not just Dems. Remember, Trump had both houses for the first two years, and they did diddly squat to work with him.

Trump lost fair and square. He lost under the same rules he won under in 2016, Biggems.

Biden Prez. :tu

Not Trump. :tu

Obama was extremely divisive. The mainstream media is extremely divisive. Trump was not all that divisive. He is quite politically incorrect, egotistical, and quite vain, though. Trump didn't incite all the crap over the last 4 years......people like Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and Waters did, along with the main stream media, BLM and Antifa did. Obama locks kids in cages, but Trump gets blamed for it. Trump wants to build the wall and have immigration reform, the same thing Dems voted for in the past but never followed through with, and he gets called a racist. Trump puts up a travel ban from a handful of countries, and he is called a racist, even though several other Muslim countries were not on the ban. Trump in a Russian asset, even though he has been tough on Russia, while Obama was on video making handshake and wink deals with the Ruskies. Our economy was booming, not just rich people or white people, but across the board we were positively impacted. Our military was refurbished. The VA was upgraded. We had historic peace talks in the Middle East, with 4 Muslim countries signing deals with Israel. Trump was the first US President to meet with the leader of N Korea, and also the first to ever step foot into their country. He got NATO to start paying up. He got us out of the stupid Climate Accords that only a handful of nations were even following, and we were having to foot most of the bill. We had zero wars started under the Trump years. For such a hate monger, the second coming of Hitler was horrible at getting us into foreign entanglements.

Yes, he says some outrageous things, even pisses people off, who have thin skin. But he did a lot of great things as President. It is too bad Congress spent most of its time trying to make him look bad, instead of actually passing positive legislation for the country. I include all of Congress in this, not just Dems. Remember, Trump had both houses for the first two years, and they did diddly squat to work with him.

but, but, but... Its the other guys fault! Obama divisive... sure thing, he could not change that skin color.

Just take the blame like the responsible person you wish to be.
You voted for the worst president (in the context of our modern times) ever.
Thats what you did, and thats what you continue to do.

You are a shameful example of what you consider responsible.
Hopefully you tell your grandchildren how wrong you were.
Own it. For them.

There was a first amendment argument to be made about Twitter or other social media being limited public forums. None of the “free speech champions” here apparently took time to do all of five minutes of internet research.

Had they, they’d have seen this little case that came out of SCOTUS in 2019:


As I wrote in my post about it, this seemed like a stretch as well, since the state's role in creating MNN was a key factor here, and that was not at all true with social media platforms. I also thought that the Supreme Court would likely rule narrowly and avoid the issue of social media platforms altogether -- though, given the political climate, I feared that the Supreme Court would say something stupid on this and create a new mess. Instead, the ruling, which came out earlier this week, went in the opposite direction. While the ruling itself doesn't directly apply to social media, the Supreme Court actually reversed the 2nd Circuit ruling that declared MNN a public forum, and very strongly hinted that it's ridiculous to think social media platforms could be considered public forums. And, for all the so-called "conservatives" who have been the most vocal in promoting the theory that social media sites are public fora governed by the 1st Amendment, it might surprise them to find that it was the so-called "conservative Justices" who decided this one, with Kavanaugh writing the opinion, joined by Roberts, Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch -- and Sotomayor writing the dissent, joined by Ginsburg, Breyer and Kagan.

Indeed, hysterically, it appears that a key argument made by the majority to argue against a finding of a public forum is one from one of the "conservatives" currently suing a platform. Stay tuned for that tidbit. But first, the decision itself. I was wrong in expecting the court to uphold the 2nd Circuit's ruling (and my fear was that they would apply it in a way that was too broad). But Kavanaugh and the majority make it clear that they see public forum doctrine to be very, very, very limited. And it doesn't apply to a public access TV network, even one created by the state.
Under the state-action doctrine as it has been articulated and applied by our precedents, we conclude that operation of public access channels on a cable system is not a traditional, exclusive public function. Moreover, a private entity such as MNN who opens its property for speech by others is not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor. In operating the public access channels, MNN is a private actor, not a state actor, and MNN therefore is not subject to First Amendment constraints on its editorial discretion.

The key to Kavanaugh's ruling is that to make a private entity a public forum, it needs to take over "powers traditionally exclusively reserved to the State." The "exclusively" part is what the majority focuses on.
It is not enough that the federal, state, or local government exercised the function in the past, or still does. And it is not enough that the function serves the public good or the public interest in some way. Rather, to qualify as a traditional, exclusive public function within the meaning of our state-action precedents, the government must have traditionally and exclusively performed the function.

The Court has stressed that “very few” functions fall into that category.... Under the Court’s cases, those functions include, for example, running elections and operating a company town.... The Court has ruled that a variety of functions do not fall into that category, including, for example: running sports associations and leagues, administering insurance payments, operating nursing homes, providing special education, representing indigent criminal defendants, resolving private disputes, and supplying electricity.
And, the majority says, running a TV station also does not qualify.
The relevant function in this case is operation of public access channels on a cable system. That function has not traditionally and exclusively been performed by government.

And that's pretty much the ballgame for those arguing for a public forum designation even for this public access channel created by the state. However, Kavanaugh does go further in highlighting why it would be ludicrous to argue that social media sites, for example, would qualify and be subject to the 1st Amendment. As the opinion notes, just hosting a forum for speech does not magically turn you into a government actor hosting a "public forum." And then Kavanaugh goes even further, directly saying that a private entity can moderate all they'd like:
By contrast, when a private entity provides a forum for speech, the private entity is not ordinarily constrained by the First Amendment because the private entity is not a state actor. The private entity may thus exercise editorial discretion over the speech and speakers in the forum. This Court so ruled in its 1976 decision in Hudgens v. NLRB. There, the Court held that a shopping center owner is not a state actor subject to First Amendment requirements such as the public forum doctrine....

The Hudgens decision reflects a commonsense principle: Providing some kind of forum for speech is not an activity that only governmental entities have traditionally performed. Therefore, a private entity who provides a forum for speech is not transformed by that fact alone into a state actor. After all, private property owners and private lessees often open their property for speech. Grocery stores put up community bulletin boards. Comedy clubs host open mic nights. As Judge Jacobs persuasively explained, it “is not at all a near-exclusive function of the state to provide the forums for public expression, politics, information, or entertainment.”
And just to drive the point home:

In short, merely hosting speech by others is not a traditional, exclusive public function and does not alone transform private entities into state actors subject to First Amendment constraints.

If the rule were otherwise, all private property owners and private lessees who open their property for speech would be subject to First Amendment constraints and would lose the ability to exercise what they deem to be appropriate editorial discretion within that open forum. Private property owners and private lessees would face the unappetizing choice of allowing all comers or closing the platform altogether. “The Constitution by no means requires such an attenuated doctrine of dedication of private property to public use.” ... Benjamin Franklin did not have to operate his newspaper as “a stagecoach, with seats for everyone.” ... That principle still holds true. As the Court said in Hudgens, to hold that private property owners providing a forum for speech are constrained by the First Amendment would be “to create a court-made law wholly disregarding the constitutional basis on which private ownership of property rests in this country.” ... The Constitution does not disable private property owners and private lessees from exercising editorial discretion over speech and speakers on their property

Also LOL at the notion that OAN has diversity of thought.

it does explain why he’s frightened and an idiot, though

[Bogie]

You shouldn't have tried to overthrow the government of the United States of America.

Now come the consequences.

You said you're for personal responsibility. Here it is.

he meant personal responsibility for black and brown people, as well as women.

[Bogie]

no one is trying to overthrow the government, at least not Conservatives. We want to lawmakers in Washington to simply abide by the Constitution, and they are finding ways to work around it.

this forum already has ducks and derp, you trying to be the 3rd musketeer of stupidity is a noble effort.

Let’s see how it goes for you

But their party is overrun with people who believe that the dems are shit people ignoring that they put the shittiest one in Washington

[koriwhat]

Think of it this way Joey. Twitter is a bakery owned by religious folk, and RealDonaldTrump is a gay couple that wants a wedding cake. Should Twitter Bakery be forced to make DJT's gay wedding cake?

Your false equivalence just adds to how much of a pussy fascist racist you truly are Will. :tu

you are correct, Dems are not silent. Conservatives are, because they are silenced.....banned, demonetized, etc. You can call stupid or whatever you want. The facts are there. If you do not bow down and kiss the leftists asses, you do not have a right to speak. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, etc are all leftist driven media platforms.

We had Parler, but now that is being taken away. Pretty soon OAN, the Blaze, and others like it will be shut down too. Any diversity of thought will not be allowed.

You and the many others on here seem complicit with this notion.

sorry that the rest of us don’t want to give nazis and fascists a voice.
