Its only if youre running for public office. It's literally just a do nothing show bill. A certain person was pushing for changes in the bill but it got ignored and he got put on the no fly list. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77679119 United States 05/03/2021 10:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This bill is insane. Quoting: ^TrInItY^ Thank God GLP is too small to be included in it. ---- 501.2041 (g) [link to www.flsenate.gov (secure)] (g) “Social media platform” means any information service, system, Internet search engine, or access software provider that: 1. Provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server, including an Internet platform or a social media site; 2. Operates as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, or other legal entity; 3. Does business in the state; and 4. Satisfies at least one of the following thresholds: a. Has annual gross revenues in excess of $100 million, as adjusted in January of each odd-numbered year to reflect any increase in the Consumer Price Index. b. Has at least 100 million monthly individual platform participants globally. This bill was basically written specifically for Laura loomer. Most people are not running for public office. It's dumb and a waste of everyone's time. |

Since this site isn't different from social media where they shadow ban certain people, Trinity denies it but it happens here more than most think and it needs to stop. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79761929 I average two bans a day from the butthurt white supremacists running this site. However, my Linux guys don’t give two shits. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79761929 There's a lot of auto banning at GLP, but it's mainly a way to generate paid subscriptions. However, I believe some users have been banned for political reasons. |

Yep, the bill could have been broadened, but getting the ball rolling for more people to show disgust with the increasing fascism (a merger of the state and corporate) of America is becoming more crucial as Silicon Valley and others take on the traits of Beijing-style Communism/fascism. |

Type one of a few hundred forbidden words or people’s names or even religions and you get insta banned and then the GLP mafia gives you a page that says buy a membership and you can get unban. |

User ID: 72513200 United States 05/03/2021 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember when I was on Facebook years ago and they straight banned a Trump ad. It had footage of the effects of blm on actual black business owners, I recall in the video Trump saying "love, not hate" it was a powerful video and I don't even care for Trump or vote for him. It was taken off Facebook completely and then Trump himself banned entirely Then covid happened and with all the censorship I just left, been happier since "It's whatever you want it to be, I don't care" |

Quoting: Cardiak When the auto bans keep rolling around, I wouldn't mind them if they at least were honest and said something like, "You have used up your free posting time at GLP. Please become a member." But they instead have the whiff of dishonesty about them, sort of like those emails from Kenya that offer a reward for returning lost money. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78367566 United States 05/03/2021 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Social media companies would be unable to permanently kick people off their platforms under a tough new Florida law. Quoting: Anon Braveheart The bill, passed by the GOP-dominated state Legislature Thursday and awaiting Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature, would make it a crime to remove state political candidates from Twitter and Facebook, and would mete out penalties of $250,000 a day for any statewide candidate who is deplatformed. Removing more local candidates would cost the company $25,000 a day. The bill also requires tech companies to give users seven days notice that they are at risk of being banned and offer them the opportunity to correct the issue. Suspensions of up to 14 days would still be allowed. [link to www.breitbart.com (secure)] This isn't good enough. It will only affect people who are running for office or in office and limiting their discrimination to only two weeks at a time. This is another example of 'weak and sniveling response" from the right. Desantis needs to make it binding on all residents of Florida, not just political people. |
