Uh-oh: Trump Googled himself, and now he wants Google searches censored/regulated

[TotalInsanity4]

He's being sued so let the courts decide that. The fact a few douchebags in silicon valley got together to determine his fate should be a red flag for all of us. All of these companies are well within their rights, that's why we need some sort of internet bill of rights.

Like... Some sort of Net Neutrality bill or something...

Well... that would still be something completely different.

Those biased sons of bitches keep reporting on things he does and says, and it makes him look like an asshole.

US is becoming like China? lol. A few corporations got together to remove Alex Jones from their sites hours apart, and the big three ban/block conservatives or anyone that thinks differently, but Trump is the problem. It can't possibly be the same politicians that have been in office for 20+ years. Nahhh.

Don't need a interent bill of rights this would fall under the first admentment. you see the first admendment isn't there to protect ideas and thought we all agree with its there to protect ideas and thought of those we don't agree with Alex Jones was the first of many more to come its not going to stop there until someone takes it to court and it goes to the supreme court. these companys were not in there rights to take alex jones down there terms of service can't violate the first admenment just have to wait for someone to have the resources to take this to court now it will happen

Are you okay with every bot account, every revenge porn account, every pirate account, etc to all keep their accounts and "let the courts decide" on whether they get banned or not?

All of these companies are well within their rights, that's why we need some sort of internet bill of rights.

Would that "internet bill of rights" work through the courts? Would it have standard standards for DoS or DDoS? Would it differentiate between DoS by protesters vs bot accounts? Really, what would an "internet bill of rights" even mean without international jurisdiction and treaties? Would that mean every case should be tried through the ICC?

The term "internet bill of rights" sounds nice. I'm not sure how much it'd really even apply in this case--bills of rights tend to be in reference to governments, and there's tons of governments who would not accept something akin to "freedom of speech". What you're suggesting sounds very feel good, but is any of it meaningful or practical?

It's never been the case that social media platforms have to adhere to the first amendment. Saying the wrong things on GBATemp will get you banned just like any other online forum. Nobody is going to challenge this in court, because they'd lose. Private entities are free to refuse service to whoever they'd like.

TBH, Google does hide negative articles about themselves.
It wouldn't surprise me if Google was prioritizing pro liberal sites.

Also, according to the article, he doesn't want to censor the internet, he wants search providers to not censor the internet.

 

[koim]

Google just finds sites that match that criteria. If so many news sites are saying these things about him, then it will show up in google. In my opinion, this is the stupidest thing i have heard yet.

the thing is Google can be manipulated to some extent. try to search for "idiot" in google image

 

[LoganK93]

So like, we should just let him be an asshole in peace? Reporting on the bad things he does just makes them known, not cause them. If he does good things, wouldn't the news about him also be good?

Wow... Way to miss the sarcasm, there!

It is and it isn't at the same time

I'm pretty certain that was sarcasm and what you said was the point.

Found this wonderful man:

But yeah, search manipulation is a bad thing.

we will have to see i have a feeling the EFF will take it on soon.

You don't understand. It's a government^W business^W liberal media conspiracy to represent what Trump does in a bad light. When Trump was locking up all those illegal immigrants, the liberal media was reporting about separating children from their parents and having those children (as young as toddlers) going before judges for a hearing. See, that just makes Trump look like an asshole. Next thing you know there will be the story of Trump taking a serial killer off the street, and all the liberal media will focus on his how Trump cooked up the serial killer and ate him.

You have to understand, to Trump it's not too important about the details of what he does. He just wants to get his message out, and he hates it when point out what he's actually doing or supporting. I guess that's a great way to run a [criminal] business where deniability is key.

Unless you're suggesting that all social media is going to be acquired by the government, there is no "we'll see." Just as a baker can't be forced into making a cake for a gay wedding, social media can't be forced to give a platform to a person advocating for violence and death threats. "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason" is posted somewhere in just about every business in America.

 

[DinohScene]

From the first criminal to the first black man to the first idiot.
I know that after Trump, there will be a woman in charge.

Not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just that Trump made presidency a joke.
GG Trump, gg.
