So many people misunderstand what free speech/The First Amendment really mean.


"This is very important: freedom of speech, along with the other freedoms in the first amendment, are designed to protect the liberties of the populace against an oppressive government that would seek to squash those rights in its own self-interest.


Private entities and private spaces, however, are largely not required to protect your speech, and the first amendment does not protect what you say—only your right to speak.


....Most spaces on the internet are privately owned, and have no obligation to allow you to speak freely in their space. Whether it's Facebook removing content that violates its own terms of service, a blog owner deleting a comment they find offensive, or a big company deleting user posts from its Facebook page, your speech may be censored, but you have no first amendment right to free speech in those places. This includes our discussions on Lifehacker—we've always held our community up to high standards, and if you start a discussion we find isn't up to those standards, we reserve our right to dismiss it."

For what it's worth, according to the article linked in OP, WND has been restored on YouTube now.


 

Just like that bakery in Indiana, it's privately owned. It's only censorship when - the govt does it, well it used to

be that way. Now we have agenda driven lawsuits. Only if a business takes govt money, like a small business loan, can they can force you to hire who they want (quotas) and serve who they want, etc.

MT Stars is privately owned. They can ban you if they want.

Laws don't seem to matter anymore.

Huckabee was just being honest - this is absolutely what will happen (and has happened) with these kinds of legal changes. It is utterly naive and disingenuous to pretend that men are just all angels with fluffy feathery wings, and wouldn't DREAM, not a single one of them!, of putting on a dress, going into a bathroom and placing cameras, "pleasuring themselves" in stalls, giving women the "hey baby" look when they are washing their hands, etc. Yep, now even Republicans are getting censored when it comes to transgender! What does it say about a "social movement" that they have to censor what people say? Is the truth so threatening? Whatever happened to the "truth will set you free?"

If it were the "truth" it would set free--the - "paranoia" not so free

or the conspiracy...yes, truth would be a refreshing approach.

To compare coming out as transgender - and using public toilets

To some teenage jerk pretending to be transgender to shower with girls is utterly ridiculous.

If you know anything about transgender individuals, it takes a tremendous amount of courage and they go through a horrendous amount of ridicule, alienation, bullying, etc., just to be themselves.

Anyone who thinks some jerk who decides he wants to shower with the girls would go to those lengths, well I really don't think they get the whole process.

I have not seen this clip censored at all, in fact I have seen it played over and over again on many news programs, which is really unfortunate. Having Huckabee's ignorant words and attitudes invading my eardrums is not pleasant.

Sorry, I can't agree that perverts will go to those lengths to get into the girls showers.

I think Mr. Huckabee is just playing to the ignorant base again (do any Republicans ever not?) and hoping to get some votes from those who also love the Duggars and that sort of mindset.

What he said sounds about right to me. He objected to local - ordinances that would

allow transgender people access to restrooms based on their gender identity.

I do understand that you tube is not a government entity and can suspend whatever content they want, but this what Huckabee said is pretty tame. Besides, this was back in February. Why now?

Implementation of what his plans are for the terrorist problem has yet to be seen. I did miss the press conference between Homeland Security ...

I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Le ...
