We have political figures who are exhorting private market entities to shut voices down and deplatform people, and that is only in one ideological direction when it occurs. I don't think that the playing field is neutral given the current bias on the exchange in the not so free marketplace of ideas. And I'm not the only one who sees the political animus which is having real effects on the ability to exchange those ideas.
Other than the few artists that have pulled their music and spoken up, I haven't seen any reports of government or political figures involving themselves in this particular controversy. And while there may be a bias or at least the appearance of a bias, I don't know how you would propose we fix this. Surely you aren't advocating government regulation of independent social networks, are you?
Government regulates all kinds of industries to some degree, including communication (FCC). I'm not advocating for government to limit what people can say, but rather give guidelines for social network platforms to be equitable in their moderation/restriction policies. Clearly the free market regarding big tech and social media is vastly disproportionately biased towards suppressing one side of the free speech dialogue. That is not a new position for some conservatives...
Why not? It has tons of music even from regional Christian groups like Sound Doctrine.
May have to give them a second look.
Mandates are waning in popularity across the country but they still effectively control the spread of disease and offer reliable protection against infection. How are you tying vaccination to masking? And just as a reminder, for the record, I am against mandates.
I’m not tying anything to anything. Just stating the science that vaccines do not prevent you from getting or giving Covid.
Not sure how I misread your original statement, but I did, and completely agree with what you're getting at.
I agree it's quite a mess....I just don't know how anyone can fix it without making things worse. Slippery slope and all of that.
I hear ya, I really do. This is not an easy quagmire from which to pull ourselves. The paradox of tolerance in the realm of free speech is certainly nothing new, but we are in as real a battle for the control of how ideas are to be freely exchanged as I have ever seen in my half-century of life. Way before this age of dis/misinformation I was a major proponent of free speech, even at the expense of the absolute ugliness of that speech (like Flint, skinheads, etc).
I haven't seen a rhyme or reason either. I had it in November 2020. Really only had body aches and congestion for 2-3 days. Never had a fever. Didn't lose sense of taste or smell. My older brother (by 20 months) had it a couple of months later and he had a terrible time including an outpatient visit to the hospital. He struggled for about 3 weeks.

I know that here in Tennessee, they've been checking the sewage for monitoring the pandemic. Don't see how they can allegedly tell which variants are present since they've already admitted they can't tell the difference between the variants from tests when they take a sample to determine if someone has the VID! Many people here, including medical doctors I know, have stated that they believe that the water may have the virus in it. Of course, this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but to many, it seems plausible.Since Twisted isn't here to post this

The plandemic continues, but its origins are still a nefarious mystery. How did the world get sick, how did Covid really spread, and did the Satanic elite tell the world about this bioweapon ahead of
