The US Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments Monday in two cases that could dramatically reshape social media, weighing whether states such as Texas and Florida should have the power to control what posts platforms can remove from their services
At issue are laws passed by the two states that prohibit online platforms from removing or demoting user content that expresses viewpoints — legislation both states say is necessary to prevent censorship of conservative users.
The case could lead to a significant rethinking of First Amendment principles, according to legal experts. A ruling in favor of the states could weaken or reverse decades of precedent against “compelled speech,” which protects private individuals from government speech mandates, and have far-reaching consequences beyond social media.
The same people who fought tooth and nail so businesses can discriminate against gays want to remove the right of social media outlets to control their own platforms.
So if a baker doesn't want to bake a cake for gays, that's okay...but if social media wants to ban Covid misinformation, that's wrong?
What happened to not being forced to partake in ideas you don't agree with? Wasn't that why conservatives supported the baker?

Yes - And this is the same group that's been sniveling about excessive government interference and regulations - but let a social media site publish a few things the GOP doesn't want to hear; they demand the government step in a regulate what these sites can say. Can you say: Hypocritical Crybabies? 😏

@vivify saidIt doesn't matter who approved it, no one can argue that it is experimental until long term effects have been assessed.
Covid vaccines were approved by the FDA, the Word Health Organization and nearly every government in the world.
You are too uninformed and ignorant to take seriously.
There are very strict physical laws regarding time and the WHO and FDA currently do not have the ability majic it up. If you think the FDA and WHO can create time it is you that is beyond ignorant.
@vivify saidApproved, but not for long term unknown effects, LOL, that's some kind of 'approval'.
Except he claimed they were "unapproved" which is false. Hate vaccines all you want but to claim something that false is a new level of stupid.
I won't respond to any more Covid posts on this thread

The recommended and 👊'approved'👊 course for you🤣.
@vivify saidAnd while we're at it. One long term effect (or rather non-effect) they did know about:

The clotshot was totally useless at fending off the wuflu, hence the never ending money spinning boosters. The true believers are up to what? 5 or 6 boosters?.
Clotshot long term benefits: None
Clotshot long term harms: Unknown but associated with heart disease, myocarditis, blood clots and a whole string of other injuries and potentially fatal ailments.
These are two facts, rock solid.
First sell the blood cloggers, then sell the blood thinners.
Does anyone here not know someone on blood thinners?
@vivify saidJust because it was 'approved', doesn't mean it's been tested or it's safe. Give me enough money and I can get anything 'approved'.

@wajoma saidHey dummy it’s measured in man / woman hours dedicated to the problem

If 50 scientists take 5 years to develop a safe vaccine 250 scientists will take a year.
The resources thrown at the life saving vaccines is what made them safe and brought them to the table in such quick time

@djj saidWell gfy and step out of the modern healthcare system if that’s your attitude
Just because it was 'approved', doesn't mean it's been tested or it's safe. Give me enough money and I can get anything 'approved'.
No one who refused to take the vaccine should have been given medical care for covid symptoms in any public health service
