Should RHP ban for misinformation?

yes it does

Funny how you equate banning misinformation with banning conservatives. That says a lot.

I'm referring to demonstrably false statements, not political ideology.

that is what the end game is…sad little person you are

You’d think he’d be banned just for constantly spamming covid and vaccine misinformation. He’s RHP’s forums version of Japanese knot weed.

"He"? There are several of them, it's just that one is somewhat more prolific and more obviously mental than the others.

No, it doesn't. That's why lying under oath is a crime. So is slander.

Wanting truth over lies is "sad"?

Typical conservative.

If they don't, they should. Marjorie Taylor Green was permanently banned from Twitter for misinformation.

There's a certain inutile poster on this site who should get the same treatment.

If there's one thing that's been proven by Twitter is that it's impossible for a moderating organization to distinguish between misinformation and stuff they disagree with.

Twitter takes down or bans perfectly reasonable posts their moderators disagree with all the time.

That’s why there are site forum rules that have to be abided by rather than some moderator taking umbrage based on their political leanings. Twitter will be the same.
You right wingers obviously believe that your opinion is on a par with scientific facts. Spoiler alert, it’s not. Facts exist whether you like them or not. And us folks who prefer facts to BS and harmful lies need somewhere we can go where we are not plagued by the MBs of this world.

Silly. “We right wingers believe that our opinions are on a par with scientific fact”. Ken not the same be said of left wingers? You sure leave a lot of things hanging..
You tend to use the word fact quite loosely. You yourself say that Tucker told a lie. You say that as if it is a fact. I have never seen a lie that he told, so I take exception to your calling that statement a fact.

Yeah I can think of lots of republicans/ trumptards here who put their own lop sided spin on current affairs and they probably accuse me of the same but MB tells very big lies about very important issues all the time, it’s like the lies are his agenda.

the subject is freedom of speech, not being under oath in court proceedings.

I never said that, you are being dishonest

You're claiming lies are protected under freedom of speech; if lying was a constitutional right, it wouldn't be illegal to do so in court proceedings or legal documents, because your "right" to lie would be infringed. You also couldn't be sued for false advertising.

So you're wrong.

Again only a government can restrict your freedom of speech, the fact that some commercial enterprises offer a sanctuary for patrons who are sick of hearing BS about covid and the 2020 election, to name but two, is not curbing your freedom of speech but it is protecting my right to not have it shouted at me every where I go.
Twitter and Facebook have decided that the liberal majority are their customer base for purely economic reasons. I’m sure you have your own echo chambers, stick with them and enjoy the company you find there.

You said my post about banning "demonstrably false information" was "sad". What I said was regarding your complaining about wanting truth is accurate.

Can I falsely yell "fire" in a crowded movie theater? Or is that "freedom of speech"?
