The Comedian is a perfect example

He bans users from his threads every day

He deletes posts from his threads every day

and he has every right to do that because there is no law saying he can't

Same with glp, they ban and delete posts and threads ALL DAY EVERY DAY that go agaisnt the glp agenda

AND THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO THAT

know why?

BECAUSE GLP, LIKE CNN or FOX or ABC or CBS or NBC, IS A PRIVATELY OWNED FOR PROFIT BUSINESS THAT DOES NOT HAS THE RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH THEIR BUSINESS

You know what glp mods and registered users say every time glp bans an opinion that goes against the glp agenda:

"GLP IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS"

And that's 100% correct

GLP has the right to ban censor and remove anything they want of THEIR SITE

There is no law stating GLP cannot censor or remove information.

You all just get outraged when it's done to you and have no problem doing the exact same thing to people you disagree with

when it's done to you it's an outrage and censorship and an abuse of your 1st amendment rights

when it's done towards people you don't like, it's the right of a privately owned business to do so.

We live in a capitalist society where, in theory, the government does not own the media.

Private people / businesses own the media.

Since private businesses own the media, they can say whatever the fuck they want.

If you want to challenge that, then build your own media platform like many have done and say whatever you want.

that's called capitalism.

Show me in the constitution where it says you have a right to express your opinion on the property of a private business and they don't have the right to remove you.

Comment sections are brand new, they are maybe 10 years old.

In the past if you wanted to comment on something a newspaper or news station said, you had to write a letter. And the news station or paper could choose to print it or discuss it or throw it in the trash.

Comment sections ARE NOT A RIGHT. They are a feature a private business offers, that they can remove whenever they see fit.


As for your comment about public access to a private site, what do you think is happening right now on glp??

GLP is a PRIVATE site and states this in the agreement page before you enter the site

AC's like myself, we have public access to a private site, private meaning it is a privately owned business not that it is private like a country club.

You can still talk to one another

On ANY SITE online or face to face or on the phone or texting someone

If a site removes comment sections or review sections, they just don't want you using THEIR site.

But you can still go to ANY site or start a blog or stand on a street corner with a bullhorn.

Comment / review sections are not the only place for people to talk to each other.

If you are hanging out in a privately owned restaurant and you are ranting and raving about why you don't like chinese people or why you don't like red shoes, they have every right to ask you to leave and if you don't leave to have you removed

the same is true of comment sections for PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESSES

When I saw the CNN trump bathrobe headline, I said, they're doing libel. Something my journalist teacher said that when you have a public official around toilets and you make news of it, it's crossing a line of journalism into lawlessness.

I don't believe your reason why they're shutting down comments. They're doing it for bandwidth reasons and to be certain, people who leave comments on massive media websites aren't worth half a shit because they read the spew to begin with; they're hired commenters getting paid to comment. I wish overall the internet, that the habit of commenting on someone else's page, when it's not a forum, only a news report were abolished, because get your own god damn webpage to spew your feelies. It'd save half the bandwidth of the nation not to read comments. Social media is neither social nor media.

And YOU with your fucking military base culture spewing the sodomite word butthurt as your choice. Stop that. You're part of the problem.

Re: CNN, IMDB & other MAJOR websites are CLOSING their comment sections. This is insane!
Just this morning I noticed that Virgin Mobile USA did away with its User/Buyer Reviews section --
They have a 'Community' portal but it's seemingly just for customer service related topics.
I found the reviews helpful - especially when they'd tear into the phones and highlight their flaws.
It's getting to be that they don't want us talking to one another.
 Quoting: Hopelessly Deplorable 2 You


if you went into a restaurant and just started telling every person who came in, you think the food is terrible, that restaurant has every right to ask you to leave.

And you have every right to stand outside that private business, off their property, and continue to tell everyone you think the food is terrible before they go in.

But the restaurant, doesn't have to allow you to stand on their property and shit all over them

You can shit all over them ANYWHERE ELSE you want, free to share your opinions. You could start a blog, go on facebook, get a public access tv show, write a book telling everyone how terrible the food is

BUT THE RESTAURANT IS NOT OBLIGED TO ALLOW YOU TO BE ON THEIR PROPERTY AND SAY THINGS THEY DON"T WANT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HEAR, in fact they have every RIGHT to have you removed because you are on THEIR PROPERTY

When I saw the CNN trump bathrobe headline, I said, they're doing libel. Something my journalist teacher said that when you have a public official around toilets and you make news of it, it's crossing a line of journalism into lawlessness.

I don't believe your reason why they're shutting down comments. They're doing it for bandwidth reasons and to be certain, people who leave comments on massive media websites aren't worth half a shit because they read the spew to begin with; they're hired commenters getting paid to comment. I wish overall the internet, that the habit of commenting on someone else's page, when it's not a forum, only a news report were abolished, because get your own god damn webpage to spew your feelies. It'd save half the bandwidth of the nation not to read comments. Social media is neither social nor media.

And YOU with your fucking military base culture spewing the sodomite word butthurt as your choice. Stop that. You're part of the problem.

Yes it's going on all over the world. Censoring to the max.

Boycot websites who don't allow comments.

You do know that news sites didn't always have comments. Are you a child? They own their websites. They don't have to offer you or anyone else, a vehicle to shill.

comment sections are not a right, they are a privilege that privately owned businesses offer their customers


sames as glp

it is a private forum and glp can censor and delete any posts they want

there is nothin in the constitution that states any private business has to offer a comments section

glp repeatedly bans users and removes posts they don't like and every time they do this, glp users defend glp's right to do this because glp is a PRIVATE business

CNN, IMDB are PRIVATE businesses and don't have to offer comment sections if they don't want to

same way glp doesn't have to allow people they don't want to use the glp fourm

TY for PIN, mods. Glad this got some attention. We're living in 1984 here

No we're not

Comment sections are not a right.

You can still say whatever you want about cnn anywhere you want except on THEIR PROPERTY.

They have every right to not allow comments on THEIR PROPERTY

And you have every right to express your thoughts about CNN or whoever anywhere you want... build your own blog, post on glp, post on facebook, stand on the street corner

IT'S NOTHING LIKE 1984

You still have the freedom to express your self, you may just not have the OPTION to state your opinion on private property.
