Another great post...but when you throw monopoly in the big tech mix it really screams review
Another great post...but when you throw monopoly in the big tech mix it really screams reviewIt does seem that all sides think section 230 needs to be revisited at a minimum. Revoking it makes YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, SatelliteGuys, etc. into publishers though, which will result in very heavy-handed moderation (or censorship as some would say), so probably not what anyone actually wants.
Yep. Can't come too soon.The app is supposed to be coming to the new Chromecast with Google TV in "early 2021". Once it does, I plan to finally try out Apple TV+. Hopefully the app will be in the Play Store for any Android TV device that meets minimum specs to download and install. We'll see..
Obviously you haven't read 230...Lol lol lol lol..you have alot to learn
I know what it does to companies that are basically monopolies...and thats the real issue..competion being squashedObviously you haven't read 230...
Gee, Parler didn't have much trouble finding a new home when Amazon kicked them out. Remind which social media company has no competition? There's no question the big guys were/are much better at marketing themselves than some others though...I know what it does to companies that are basically monopolies...and thats the real issue..competion being squashed
I would appreciate if you would leave politics out of this so we can continue thus duscussion but anytime the majority silence a minority competitor its usually a antitrust violation..several examples would be att,exxon and even a&p super markets amongst othersGee, Parler didn't have much trouble finding a new home when Amazon kicked them out.

Politics??? Amazon kicked out Parler for contract/TOS violations as they were legally entitled to do.I would appreciate if you would leave politics out of this so we can continue thus duscussion but anytime the majority silence a minority competitor its usually a antitrust violation..several examples would be att,exxon and even a&p super markets amongst others
You have no idea what you are talking about...it was an employee votePolitics??? Amazon kicked out Parler for contract/TOS violations as they were legally entitled to do.
Do you really think the employees, not the management, run the AWS division? Link? This NPR lawsuit article has no mention of an Amazon employee vote...You have no idea what you are talking about...it was an employee vote
Just being pedantic here and not applying any judgement to Amazon's decision to de-platorm Parler.Parler didn't have much trouble finding a new home when Amazon kicked them out
Just a little...Wow, this thread spiraled out of control.

Well, there ya go then that's definitive. I'm done here...Thats how it was reported
Yeah, but streaming devices (as well as social media) are PUBLIC FORUMS, and therefore are supposed to follow the first amendment.Before you start spouting "Freedom of speech" issues, please read the first five words of the first amendment.
They are PUBLIC FORUMS; therefore supposed to be bound by the first amendment.Section 230 is about removing liability for publishing 3rd party discussions. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Are newspapers required to print every letter to the editor they receive? Of course not. Is Twitter, Facebook, et al, that much different? As private businesses, shouldn't they have the right to decide what they publish as well?
Again, a PUBLIC FORUM.Politics??? Amazon kicked out Parler for contract/TOS violations as they were legally entitled to do.
Streaming devices and services are not PUBLIC FORUMS. Social Media is very a very different thing since they are mostly free for anyone to use, but still have terms of service. Given than the users are the product and not the customer clouds things. I am not arguing what should or shouldn't be allowed on them -- just commenting on the legal status you are asserting.Yeah, but streaming devices (as well as social media) are PUBLIC FORUMS, and therefore are supposed to follow the first amendment.
Not necessarily. Terms and conditions...product vs. customer.They are PUBLIC FORUMS; therefore supposed to be bound by the first amendment.
AWS is absolutely not a PUBLIC FORUM. It is a paid service with terms and conditions. Again, not commenting on whether Parler should have been booted. Just commenting on legal status.Again, a PUBLIC FORUM.
