Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Appears to Have Lied to Congress, and Congress Is Asking Questions About ThatTop House Committee investigating Dorsey's testimony for lies. A top House committee that oversees the U.S. telecommunications industry is now reviewing whether Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey lied to Congress during a hearing about Twitter’s controversial history of arbitrarily censoring content published by the site, an aide for the House Energy and Commerce committee told The Federalist. "The committee is aware of Twitter’s actions and is currently reviewing Mr. Dorsey's testimony," the aide said after Twitter suddenly banned Jesse Kelly, a Marine combat veteran, writer, and popular radio talk show host, without explanation.Unfortunately, the NeverTrump rich suburban white women and other liberal Republicans/RINOs gave the House to the Democrats, so the House will take no action on this matter. But incoming Senator Jack Hawsey of Missouri is interested in examining Twitter's claim of exemption from lawsuits based on third-party speech, given that that exemption is only available to "neutral" content platforms and not "publishers" which peddle their own editorial line:

I'm just going to come out and say it.
I think political speech is FAR more important than deregulation of mega corps. Even if you can't find a law that enforces this principle, I'm 100% okay with drafting new ones to make sure a Republican can have a Twitter account. If that seems "heavy handed' or not "free market", we passed that rubicon a long time ago. Half the country not being able to participate in the free exchange of ideas because of a few oligarchs who fancy themselves to be mini-Stalins want to shut down political speech they don't agree with is a MUCH bigger deal than some sort of wish casting of pure capitalism that hasn't been with us in over a 100 years.

I'm sure there were French peasants that did the same for the aristocracy and the monarchy. It's a personality flaw that many people fall into where they think they're part of an in-group if they constantly defend that in-group. Though for many of these cuckservatives, I don' think it's so much about being in the aristocracy...it's about not being part of the smelly, unwashed peasant group.

So many defenders of big tech seem to assume that everyone on the right is *libertarian* regarding regulation.
Conservatism does not mean "no regulation is ever good." Conservatives can believe that government has a role in creating fair marketplaces, and that includes for ideas. In fact, conservatives can believe that regulating actions in order to preserve a healthy society is necessary and good. Even most libertarians believe this. It is only the anarcho-libertarians that think all regulations are bad, and those people are so far off the edge they pop up on the other side of the screen over by the marxists.

I wish Trump would get louder and bolder on this topic. You'd think a guy that learned to weaponize twitter in his favor would pay more attention to all the left-wing censorship and deplatforming going on.
I know many on the right see social media as a silly thing, and it is for the most part. But it is a thing now in modern society and we can't afford to lose yet another front in the culture wars. I'm sure Hollywood and the news media were 'silly things' among the proto-cucks back in the 50s and 60s. Also, Julie Kelly had an excellent piece up today about not leaving twitter to the left.

"Of course there's media competition and a free market. Lool how diverse the media is as we all focus on the same propaganda picture!"
If Trump seized even one media megacorp, the others would fall into line amazingly quickly. More: most of the media's power absolutely depends on deplatforming opposition.

Conservatives can believe that government has a role in creating fair marketplaces, and that includes for ideas.
Quite so. If the role of government is strictly limited to the enforcement of contract and preservation of property rights, there are plenty of shenanigans in the "totally free!" market that run afoul of those two points. Fraud, misrepresentation, and conspiracy against property rights and reputation are all very much things. Posted by: Sporkatus at November 27, 2018 04:32 PM (HtLSE) 105

And the difference between modern tech and printing presses is that if a newspaper publisher was biased, it was transparently so.
The other difference is competition. Big tech can be biased, but no one can see it since everyone's news feed, or search, or whatever, is only visible to them. This is another level of power. This is scary. And they have effective monopolies (built on public infrastructure) which is obviously true since there is only one facebook, twitter, google, amazon,.... Saying that laws written for freedom of pamphleteers to print whatever they like should apply to big tech is absurd.

My position is very simple, and its one all the cuckservatives REFUSE to acknowledge.
A private company absolutely has the right to discriminate based on politics. A PROVIDER absolutely DOES NOT have the right to discriminate based on politics. Right now Twitter and Facebook have PROVIDER protections with the understanding that they are providing a service equally to all. They haven't for years. If these liberal pieces of shit want to censor on their platform, fine, THEY LOSE THEIR LEGAL PROTECTION AS PROVIDERS. If they're going to police content they are RESPONSIBLE for the content that they have APPROVED on their platform. Posted by: DudeAbiding at November 27, 2018 04:34 PM (Y7Ajm) 116

Unfortunately, the NeverTrump rich suburban white women and other liberal Republicans/RINOs gave the House to the Democrats, so the House will take no action on this matter.
Fight Club (1999) -- ''a generation of men raised by women''. Remember? Now we're seeing the ramifications, twenty years later, of a generation of women raised by women without male influence. They're afraid of a future devoid of a nanny state hovering over them. The (D)'s put the fear of 'pre-existing conditions' into them good and hard and they fell for it hook, line, and sinker. A generation of women devoid of the ability to perceive a 'Department of Motor Vehicles' level of healthcare. Take a number and come back next month. Free. And worth every penny it costs them.

Here's what I see as the problem with the "but they're a private company!" mantra:
1) They own the public square. Hell, they *built* this new public square. They did this by constructing - deliberately - a platform - not a library or a newspaper. 2) If you're a platform, then you have to be neutral - no censorship unless it's a criminal act. If you do censor, you're exercising editorial control. 3) Editorial control comes with consequences - legal liability. These companies are *shielded* from that because they maintain the fiction that they're a platform not exercising editorial control 4) Even if they *were* platforms (they aren't), they are actively colluding in restraint of trade. Individually, they'd be platforms, but together they're a cartel - and cartels are illegal. --> This is the big problem. The American Way is to go build your own if you don't like it. Okay, cool - so people did (Bit Chute, Gab, etc.) and then the cartel ices them out by other means. Pull the other one. The argument doesn't hold water on its face because these firms clearly exercise editorial control. Even if they didn't, they cartelized. In either case (or, realistically, both - they are editorially-controlled cartels), it's flatly indefensible. Strip them of their platform status and let the lawsuits roll in and destroy them, or regulate them, or both. Go after them under Sherman and Clayton while we're at it, and dismantle their cartel. No one with any consistency or honesty can play the "but they're a private company" card because it doesn't apply to editorial organizations which are shielded from liability and even private companies aren't allowed to restrain trade. These people are transparent to the point of tedium. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 27, 2018 04:53 PM (I2dne) 195

They're just pansies who worship corporate executives but who never had the stones or drive to actually try climbing the corporate ladder themselves.
Don't think that's it. People have a strong tendency to personally invest in the "goodness" of organizations. For Republicans ... thats usually Party, Law Enforcement, or Church. For for many - on both sides of the aisle - its Companies. They just differ on what types. Until that behavior stops - organizations will keep taking advantage of the rubes. Because organizations are amoral - by definition. And the people that rise to the top of them usually don't get there by morality or merit. People typically rise to the top via a ruthless pursuit of power. Exactly the types who should never wield power in the first place.

I listened to the Dan Bongino podcast today over lunch. He has been warning for weeks about not trying to regulate Twitter, or it would come back to bite us. "Keep the government out of it". Today, it finally came to him that Twitter is a publisher and should be subject to the same libel/slander laws as any other publisher. They're making editorial decisions about what to publish and who to de-platform, so they're not a neutral party. Not sure if he's been hanging around here, but it sure sounded exactly like what I've been shouting at my phone for weeks at him.

You could amend it. There are reasons not to, since it might create more of a grey area than you would like. And how would the neutrality work, anyway? Would all blogs have to be viewpoint neutral to claim the immunity? Would service providers have to allow rank spam posts, explicitly nazi posts, etc. in order to claim the immunity? It might be worth debating whether CDA 230 should be amended, but there are a lot of issues to think about. In any event, nothing in current law requires viewpoint neutrality to claim the CDA 230 immunity. Posted by: Random at November 27, 2018 05:26 PM (FuFVX) 309

I think most here would agree that they should be free to do whatever they want. The argument is that they can not get the protections of being an open platform for all, and thus not responsible for content put ot there, while at the same time selectively editing content and accounts. They currently have it both ways, and that cannot and should not stand.
Posted by: Calm Mentor at November 27, 2018 05:11 PM (ffYR/) I am not a fan of companies being held responsible for the speech of individuals using their services, to begin with. My issue is more with the stupid laws that somehow try to limit property owners' rights by holding them responsible for stuff that they clearly shouldn't be. But then, we have been infringing on property owners' natural rights for many, many years with some of the most insane laws imaginable ... holding a property owner responsible for anything that happens on his property, even if someone illegally trespassed in order to commit other crimes. I guess the classic example, now, is the guy who lost his ranch on the border to illegals because he held the poor, widdle invaders at gunpoint while waiting for the cops or border patrol to pick them up (after which they probably would have distributed through the country and set free, anyway). Twitter shouldn't be held responsible for the twits of the twats who use it. Twitter should be allowed to disallow anyone they want, for whatever reason. Let Twitter do that and you can be pretty sure that a competitor will be up running eventually that will drive them out of business.

It goes on about how lifeless and cold Melania's gingerbread houses are in comparison to First Lady's houses past
This is the post-modern Left - everything they do is ugly, discordant, crude, deformed and depraved. So of course Melania's work would be inaccessible to them.

Sure. Amendments can be hard to draft. That differs from the welter of other laws (including criminal ones we are subject to) how exactly?
230 is defensible to the extent that it produces defensible results. If you don't like the results, you change the law. Personally, I've decided that I don't care what happens to blog comments. I'm not going preserve 230 so that we can sock Ben Rothlisberger while coroporations strangle meaningful speech. I understand that for some conservatives freedom looks like a William Gibson novel.

This whole idea that corporations ARE people is ludicrous.
They are not people, they are legal constructs that do not exist outside of a legal structure. A corporation has no speech, it is a method of amplifying the speech of those who run it. So why should a company whose business is peoples speech, be allowed to censor that speech? Just as why should a bank be able to NOT give service to a legal company, based on them selling a legal product (guns and such). We need to clamp down on this whole thing, as people ARE being legally and politically disadvantaged by the very corporations that are allowed to exist, by the people who are being disadvantaged.

I haven't looked at the First lady's house, but AR's in the windows right? A moat?

If you never hear from me again its because I am finishing up a bag of Romaine lettuce I had already eaten from.

If the MFM can't put Melania and her projects on covers of style magazines, then they have no business being in business. If any FLOTUS has earned cover material, it's Melania. She's a bona fide model, still looks spectacular, and has style oozing out of every pore. And this is almost universally crap I couldn't give a flip about. But no way on God's Green Earth have her predecessors outclassed her.

They people are beyond parody!
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 27, 2018 05:47 PM (AllCR) ------ I know that Melania didn't actually *design* the gingerbread house or the other stuff, but I think that she provided direction for the overall Christmas decorations. They're very different, more yuge and luxurious, than previous ones. I think it reflects her style. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 27, 2018 05:51 PM (AzW6q) 433

I think it reflects her style.
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at November 27, 2018 05:51 PM (AzW6q) I think what she did was present her concept to her designers, then approved sketches as they made their way to her. Only speaking as a former design dept worker Posted by: kallisto at November 27, 2018 05:53 PM (kD8Fh) 437

376---Mooch made her gingerbread house out of dark chocolate because she hated the fact that she had to live in a palace only inhabited by Whitey and Co. heretofore......
Posted by: kallisto at November 27, 2018 05:38 PM (kD8Fh) -------------------------------- In fairness, that was only one out of seven years --- and it was the first year after she replaced the old WH pastry chef with a chick who used "more nutritious" ingredients. I suspect the job was above the new chick's pay grade. Posted by: Margarita DeVille at November 27, 2018 05:54 PM (Rxduq) 439

Is it possible we sorta kinda hate Ben Shapiro because he's an annoying little rodent, and the NeverTrump history is really just an excuse??

"422 It's gotten bad when they even have to criticize Trump as having a cold, insensitive demeanor which is reflected in the lack of personal details in the WH gingerbread house!!. They people are beyond parody!"
True, that. Also true: as society has grown more stupid, propaganda doesn't have to be clever to have some effect. Posted by: Trump poisoned my cat at November 27, 2018 05:59 PM (iw59Q) 442

I'm mocking the other FLOTUS' houses because the writers of the article are lifting them up to be pinnacles of taste and style in comparison to Melania when in fact the reverse is true. I said Nancy Reagan's was aight.
Posted by: kallisto at November 27, 2018 05:42 PM (kD8Fh) Fair enough. I try to give these people as few clicks as possible so I had to hunt down pictures. None of us have to just invert leftist arguments: it is sufficient that Melania shows intense attention to detail and an eye for beauty. You are 100% right on one thing though: Michelle Obama has no taste, none at all, and her creations look awful. As for the "playful" Hillary Clinton house reflecting her personality... my theory of luring children with it becomes increasingly plausible.

"I didn't get into conservatism so I could service corporate desires"
Did you get into it so you could threaten to vote for Hilary if Rubio was nominated? Posted by: Joe at November 27, 2018 08:23 PM (d3EAY) 447
314- that's the ticket. Wage lawfare against Twitter over and over and over about gratuitous banning, selective enforcement of 'hate speech," death threats left unpoliced, etc. etc.
