Bernie Sanders Doesn't Like Twitter's Permanent Trump Ban (ft. Dante Basco)

We all know "freedom of speech" doesn't apply to private companies, but isn't it a bit weird that we don't actually have a social space that can be protected by these laws? Freedom of speech doesn't really exist then (functionally).. right? Has our Constitution been effectively side-stepped? Are the spaces we all congregate to for news, current events and culture considered a privilege or a public utility?

What do you guys think?

One thing i dont understand is, the check and balance in that space does exist when it comes to refusing service and the consitution. Trump loves to sue so why didnt he? I think twitter and other big tech, kicked him off not because of his necessary “insurrection” thats the narrative for the impeachment. Simply it paints those businesses in a bad light, “bad for business”. Every tweet etc has their brand attached and its all connected with revenue.

i actually wanted to hear Bart’s opinion in this video but i guess he didn’t wanna speak on the subject🤷🏽‍♂️

Facts I feel you on that

"but its not against the rules" isn't the same as "but its not immoral"

Is it just me....or does white table throw everyone off a bit?

I'm for his banishment and companies acn ban whoever they want on their platform. It's weird but it's not against the law nor protected, it's their rules that apply to everyone. For example: you go to your mother's house and she asks you to take off your shoes and you refuse to do so so she kicks you out. It's weird she kicked you out but it's her property, her rules. There's no law you have to take off your shoes in another's home but if they, the owner, make it a rule, they in the right to do so. I had this decision ever since I had a contradiction of a conversation with a rider (I'm an uber driver). She is a Trump supporter and has a college degree *rolling eyes* and hates things being censored in the history books. I told her the events in the capital hill will be in the history books but she denied that Trump had anything to do with it and says that youtube is wrong to censor him yet has child porn on it. I asked her where it is on the website because that's against their guidelines yet she couldn't provide facts. Just like how Trump made his tweets: misinformation. And the Trump supporters take whatever he says as a way to start and evoke their ideals that embodied then to do the things they've been doing for the past 4 years.

My favorite thing is when people watch this and unironically comment that Joe and Steve are Trump supporters. You have to be 100% against someone, and in no way should you even indirectly defend them. You have to show full support for everyone who's against that person, that's how the world works.

I just felt it was appropriate to say that part of the reason the JK fam had to shift practically all of your content to Patreon is because of these very politicians and their content. Yes, there are other variables to it, but the foundation for this is the immense pressure social media companies are under to regulate speech in the public sphere. Consequently, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc., have implemented a hodgepodge set of rules with no real consistency but very real consequences to creators.
