Biden White House Officially Craps On 1st Amendment

[b]
Biden White House Wages War on 1st Amendment, ‘We Support the Need For Social Media Platforms to Take Steps to Reduce Hate Speech’[/b]

When asked if Biden supports the continued ban of Trump from social media, Psaki said the Biden White House supports “the need for social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech.”

[b]There is no such thing as “hate speech” and the US Supreme Court has reaffirmed this many times.[/b]

All speech is protected under the 1st Amendment, but the Biden White House openly admits it is working with Big Tech to censor and ban conservatives under the guise of ‘reducing hate speech.’

So, if you go into a grocery store and loudly and repeatedly proclaim how much this grocery store sucks, you believe you are protected from a manager having you removed? That's not how it works.

First amendment protects you from the government. Tech companies have no obligation to platform anyone's speech. As Parler had the right to censor leftists on it's platform (which it did), Amazon has the right to decide they do not want to host web services for Parler. It's up to Parler to find another host. If there are no others, then it may become time to look into antitrust action. But if there are others that also don't want to platform them, then there's nothing to be done.

The government isn't telling these companies to do this. Specific individuals in the government are applauding their actions. That's not a violation of the 1st amendment.

This same logic is going to be used to censor the left as well in the future. It usually happens that the left sees more censorship than the right. I don't mean left as in Democrats. I mean left as in actual socialists and communists. Democrats are not socialists. Not by a long shot.

But, you've already been told as much and refuse to absorb the information, so I've probably just wasted my time explaining this.

@ViciDraco So a man who posted a joke meme about Hillary Clinton back in 2016 has been arrested now in 2021 for exercising his freedom of speech on social media. But there’s no censorship occurring here. Nothing to see. Move along...🙄

@stratosranger meme or scam? It looks like a scam. Only idiots would fall for it, but it definitely looks like someone trying to interfere with the vote.

@ViciDraco Democrats complaining about election fraud!! It would be funny if they weren’t prosecuting people for the crap they themselves do, have done, and will keep doing. I guess this is their way of rubbing their hypocrisy in everyone’s faces.
