Well… yet again, Scott is whining this morning, about how the Murthy arguments went at the Supremes, last week.
No amount of irrational shouting by these two jokers will be able to convert a silly claim against a private actor (for refusing to carry the lies and nonsense of another) for failure to hand out free megaphones… into a government censorship case.
These private actors are… for profit businesses. They make money from advertisers. They are not required to drive ad revenue away, by carrying racists’ rants on their sites. They are not required to reprint lies — like the Bakker colloidal silver ones… in the middle of a pandemic.
That is what the Supremes all agreed on, in Murthy, last week — at argument. Since the time of Reagan (1985), not even the then three/four monopoly TV networks were bound by “must carry” FCC rules. [They are long gone as a restriction on first amendment rights not to associate.] And the social media arena hosts at least 28 providers I can think of in two minutes. There is — in sum — no monopoly case to be made.
Hilariously — the hard right (private actors, all) even support two of their own Gag.com… and the ironically named “Truth Social“. Let that be (every gallon) the cesspool… these idiots claim to want. I. Don’t. Care.
I’ll never visit — and the per share price of its newly public parent is… cratering, as people realize… Tangerine is going to have to sell most of his $3 billion nominal stake — to avoid being… insolvent, after the rest of the hush money, and assorted other civil and criminal (felony) verdicts come in.
Flawless!
Out.
Powerline Lies...
