Comment Re:No first amendment protections. (Score 2) 114
are you saying that Google should not have the legal right to process the data on their servers on the domain they own the way they wish?
No. I am saying google has the right to do what they wish with their property.
I specifically said they're a private company and thus no one cam claim First Amendment protections (because they're not the government).
Oddly enough, however, after Musk purchased Twitter and blatantly, publicly, and obviously manipulated Twitter algorithms which push Republican agenda users and tampered down Democratic agenda users, those same Republicans were incredibly silent.
Is it not Musks' property? Thus he gets to do with it as he wishes?
Or are you bringing it because you think someone else doing something wrong justifies another entity also doing wrong?
So I am curious where you stand..
My position is that a private company has every right to filter as they wish on their platform, within the limit of the law, of which this issue does not qualify as a first amendment issue because Google is not the government.
However, they're all duplicitous assholes. And anyone who supports filtering like this, regardless of which side of the political spectrum gains ascendancy, is either ignorant, an idiot or disingenuous.
