Stefan Molyneux Youtube Account and 2k Reddit Subs Terminated Today..

Reddit taking out The Donald will result in legal action. There's no way their actions are not a blatant pre-election political action. Whether the legal action is from the government or private citizens doesn't really matter, does it? Nobody's stopping us. Problem solved.

What kind of legal action? What law has been broken?

There's been an executive order already issued on this matter.  Everyone knows that Reddit's excuse of violent talk on the Trump forum is bullshit. Trump's forums were shut down as a blatant anti-Conservative, pro-Democrat action. We all know that, including the lying liars that act puzzled and bewildered that anyone could ever suggest such a thing.

Sure, Reddit can be the test case. After 300M in legal fees, let's see how they are doing.

Nobody's stopping Bill Barr.

Problem solved.

LOL. This is what right wing fantasies have come to now? Reddit getting sued by the federal government for removing a Trump shitposting group?

First of all, Trump issued the executive order because he was mad his tweets were being fact checked. He doesn't give a fuck about other people.

Second of all, you still didn't name a law that has been broken, or how Reddit's actions open themselves up to a lawsuit even after Trump's executive order. Here's a good starting point to build your case:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230_of_the_Communications_Decency_Act
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-preventing-online-censorship/

You just want increased government regulation over free speech and business, which is the antithesis of what Republicans are supposed to be about.

Have fun watching nothing happen.

No, I chose not to thread your needle. Just like I didn't buy the argument that "Antifa is a movement, not an organization. It's untouchable!" That argument did not go too well, did it?

You see, a lot of people see through these ruses quite clearly. That claiming violent posts was only an excuse to cancel the Trump subreddits.

I'm willing to wait and let you see how this is going to play out. I don't need to convince you. I am curious, though, if you have actually read the executive order you linked to, and what in it you object to and think is unfair or toothless.

You clearly are standing AGAINST an executive order of the POTUS. You are laughing at it. I am only a spectator, viewing things, and wondering why in the world someone would have such an attitude.

Of course, I certainly understand that Trump's millions of advocates who used the Reddit group were shitposting.

Because, orange man bad. Right?

I suppose you could see forming a legal argument as "threading a needle" as that is quite often the case. I'm laughing at the executive order because Trump is just mad he got fact checked on Twitter. ...

I get the impression that you really laughed at it, and that precluded actually reading it. Because the substantive legal arguments that will form the basis of enforcement actions ARE THE CONTENT.

One could also argue that this post is neither unpopular or unpolitical.

If you would open your fucking eyes lots of people are trying to tell you this isn't just about politics, but why let that get in the way of you masturbating over how much think "your team" is winning right?

Each subreddit has their own set of rules.  I'm not surprised a local mod removed the post from your screen shot. It's a controversial opinion, but it's not unpopular.

This kind of reminds me of when you were complaining about click bait tabloid articles being removed from r/science, where the first three rules are:

- Must be peer-reviewed research
- No summaries of summaries, rehosts, reviews, or reposts
- No editorialized, sensationalized, or biased titles

You know what this reminds me of? That time you sucked off Joseph Stalin. This is beyond politics. These social media companies are attempting to be the arbiters of what is truth, what is science, and what is fact. That is unacceptable, and people like you are too busy savoring the dong you are slurping on to realize you aren't part of the winning team. It is one big club, and you ain't in it.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what I think about it. But if the CEO of Reddit isn't worried about it, then I'm not worried about it either.

Got it. Reddit will stand up in righteousness for it's ability play partisan politics during the countdown to the election, and you're with them.

Bad choice, methinks. But as I started out and said, the ability to prosecute Antifa members was also ridiculed, and we're at what now, 200+ arrests?

Regardless, let's revisit this topic in, say 90 days.

Much like the Che statue it was only up for a few months before being taken down 10 years ago.  The plan was to relocate it, but that doesn't seem to have happened.

Statues of Stalin and Confederate soldiers are interesting to compare when you think about it.

Stalin was at one point a valuable Allie to the United States and many Confederate Soldiers were actually members of the US military.

Both ended up becoming an enemy of the United States and are known for committing crimes against humanity.

That's a bit like arguing WW2 German soldiers were bad and evil people. They weren't, they were just men who were drafted or enlisted under extreme peer pressure.

You might be thinking of the LEADERS of military forces, but I doubt it. You likely just think Confederate soldiers were bad, right?

I'm in agreement on the LEADERS=BAD, just a side note. There are a great many statues and monuments in China and Russia showing the "valiant struggle of the toiling masses." They are propaganda, but I've always found them quite interesting.

I think companies like Youtube and reddit and so on will just end up shooting themselves in the foot with these bannings as people will just flock to other competitor sites so all this is doing is bolstering them. It's futile anyway as you can't shut everyone up. Unless people are posting things that are illegal they should just let people be and encourage people to just block users on sites like YouTube and Twitter if they don't like what people are saying. Banning people just because they say something liberals don't like shouldn't be going on and I hope people do start using other sites where they allow free speech. Places like Twitter have just become like an echo chamber for idiots and people screaming into the void desperate to be heard. Half the time the only things that are trending negativity and trying to get people 'cancelled'.

People say this but don't realize the type of monopoly that large social media companies have. Facebook and Twitter are the top two social media sites and there isn't a single other platform that's going to get close. Instagram maybe, but that isn't used often in political discourse, and it's owned by Facebook regardless so the policies are going to be identical. People can flock over where ever they want, their voices aren't going to be heard.

It's futile anyway as you can't shut everyone up. Unless people are posting things that are illegal they should just let people be and encourage people to just block users on sites like YouTube and Twitter if they don't like what people are saying.

The issue of companies adopting a policy like this is that it creates a toxic platform that invites controversies and drives advertisers out. Reddit had this problem when they had subreddits that were dedicated to posting hate against fat people (r/fatpeoplehate) and underage girls (r/jailbait). Both communities were banned ages ago, and both communities were probably "technically" legal.

Banning people just because they say something liberals don't like shouldn't be going on and I hope people do start using other sites where they allow free speech. Places like Twitter have just become like an echo chamber for idiots and people screaming into the void desperate to be heard.

Agreed. Twitter's favorite pastime is digging up 15 year old statements and trending the hashtag ___isoverparty because cancel culture is mortally virtuous apparently.
