@Pop Gligor am I missing something? How was he trying it to end free speech?
@Pop Gligor
Liar.
I mean, its the GOP trying to force other people to host speech on their private platforms they don't want to, so who really is the party unable to control their emotions?
@@susanchristenson4641
Don’t worry. You’ve “missed” nothing.
That person is either a liar or an idiot.
@Pop Gligor get OFF the internet🤣
Exactly correct. You can not apply the law to a person's feelings.
Sure you can apply the law 5 Years Of Libel, and Binging to Bear On it 10 Legal firms, with 2,000 Legal staff to Bring 10,000 Legal Briefs to the supreme court! The real story Is the False Narrative that CNN, Manbc and Others in " News Media" Has Used. This is the real story,
People In government, and the Main stream Media using Libel and Out right Lying to Push a False Narrative On people.
Watch what Happens In the Next 12 Months as they all get Pulled in to court.
Yet that's done, without even counting what they have done.
Narcissists don’t feel for anyone but themselves. So when we talk to them about feelings, they become clueless. Those are the ones convincing others that blood and gore on a daily basis vis video games or TV does not have an effect on the young.
That's EXACTLY what they are doing.
@@m.c.1692 No, pay attention, it is the parents that are to pay attention to what their children watches and plays, you call us narcissists yet you fail to be responsible for your own responsibilities, it's not the responsibility of tv shows or gaming companies to raise your children right, that is why they have ratings on movies and games. Only lazy little liberal parents would blame everyone else but them selves for what their children are exposed to, so that means you are the narcissists.
“Facebook Fact Checking” is an oxymoron.
One definition of the verb "check" is "to stop or slow down the progress" (of something.) If they're suppressing truth, that fits this definition of "check".
Considering that Facebook is basically a right wing propaganda machine now, there may be something to that.
No, it's a contradiction.
Facebook is not the attributors of truth….. yet they hire 3rd party journalists and call them “fact checkers”. Facts are truth, but Facebook doesn’t take responsibility for truth but promotes “facts”. 🤦🏻♂️
That was impressive. Being able to collect data and at the same time establish his point, all in 5 mins. Just incredible.
Not rely impressive or incredible at all, the only incredible thing is that the bar has been set that low for Congressional behavior
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
― Patrick Henry
Tell that right to a liberal’s face and watch their head explode.
Mmmm
So what you're saying is, you want the government to intervene on a private companies decisions, which by definition is restricting that companies freedom's of choice, in the name of the freedom of the people.
Just trying to clarify.
because when the government tries to do that exact same kind of thing in regards to environmental factors or worker pay, suddenly the same group is saying it is infringing upon their rights because most likely they're the company owners.

What are you talking about Hate speech is protected by the first amendment
@@gavinfukada3796 OP doesn't seem to be disputing that. Hateful speech should be protected, regardless of how people feel about it.

@@dustinbaker8272 I’m very left leaning, but CRT is just political propaganda.
Freedom of speech is there so that the unpopular thing can be said. Also, hearing something or an opinion that is different than yours will allow your closed or narrowly focused mind see things from a different perspective. This is also how adults can have a productive discussion rather than someone saying "that hurt my feelings" and declare that the discussion is over, like a child.
Not like a child, like a liberal, Democrat.

Fact checkers = censorship and propaganda
Remember kids, when some one says the issues is " nuanced" that means they have no idea how to address the issue and/or explain it to you
That word is their favorite word to mean I want you to think I'm smarter than you.
If the first word from their mouth is "safety", safety is the last thing on their minds.
Those who are willing to give up freedoms for safety deserve neither.
they mean making snowflakes feel safe.
Freedom, by it's very nature, is unsafe. If you want safety, create it for yourself or move to somewhere you think is safe (nowhere is safe).
Equity is the new word -- whatever that means.
@@cactusflower7820 It's a word used to sell Communism, these days.

@@trentjacobs3957 Exactly. But calling people racist should expose you to liability for slander or defamation.
@@lake9 calling red flag Crenshaw to put the china logo on it ain't racist and calling out facts in history is not racist
@@lake9 The courts don't even view being accused of being a racist or racial supremacist as defamation. The burden is very high and you have to prove the comments directly caused damage. Even then truth is a defense in some states. Defamation law is intentionally hard to win.
Personally I think the false accusations are bullshit but I can see the damage if they were punished harshly. I can see where a news outlet could be subjected to a tighter grip to the truth. Sadly that grip was weakened a lot by the obama administration. So now they can lie and claim "no reasonable jury could view us as news."
The biggest lie about the news is that they were trusted by the population. There used to be thousands of papers and you would find reporters that you could trust and you would compare papers to get the full picture. Objective journalism is a hoax.

There used to be a saying when I was young that went like this, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but WORDS will NEVER HURT ME." What HAPPENED to people in this country?... When did everyone become SO SOFT?! If people aren't allowed to speak freely, we will NEVER hear any TRUTH!
There was also an old saying:
"I may not agree with what you're saying, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it!"
"good time create weak people" they say
The issue is people confuse what the constitution says about free speech. The government can not restrict what you can say or freedom of expression. But the large guy on the street holding a brick, try to say something about his mom.
"Don't eat the yellow snow"
There has always been a fair sum of soft people , the only thing that changed is the subjects and the amount of exposure it gets due to social media. Making it seem more prevalent than it appears.
For the record, I love America. But I absolutely, 100% of every fiber of my being, detest and hate this corrupt government.
Mark Twain put it best. “Love you’re country always, love your government when they deserve it.” I feel the same bro.
Our country is full of Americans that feel exactly like you,including means everybody I know.

Bravo, it is so simple......Freedom Of Speech, nothing complicated about that, if I don't like what you have to say, oh well, that's too bad, but I will die protecting your right to say it.
When ever a Republican talks about FREE SPEECH they are really saying they want the ability to LIE with impunity. They are constantly claiming they are being censored when they are violating the terms and conditions of use of the website they are posting to. A website that is a private company, free to make its own rules. Dan Crenshaw and other Republicans should focus more on telling the truth instead of posting provably FALSE INFORMANTION.

@No Body your not very well read are you
@No Body Nothing to do with privilege No Body. Simple common sense. Do some study. Masks have been proven to be a good spreader of the virus unless they are of the KN95 quality or better. Single use and cloth masks are next to useless. As for vaccines they do not stop anyone from catching the virus but are effective in reducing hospitalisation/death unless you have severe co-morbidities. Both things are better than nothing but in essence not all that much better yet people froth at the mouth if you do not tell them masks and vaccines will save everyone. Sorry to disappoint you but they save some people but do not save others. Look at cases/deaths under Trump when vaccines were not available most of his presidency and cases/deaths under Biden when vaccines have been available from day 1. Almost the same and it is not because of the unvaccinated who are in the minority today compared to Jan 2021. If masks/vaccines were so good the numbers/deaths should be 20% or less of what they were under Trump.

You are correct. Unfortunately, Congress gave them the right to restrict access or remove any information they deem unacceptable, including speech that is protected by the Constitution through 47 U.S.C. § 230, a Provision of the Communication Decency Act. They have been given full power over content with no liability for their acts through that federal code.

Not me. I say what I want when I want... America was always an idea to be lived not a piece of land. America will survive if we don't forget what our values are that created it. Speak freely and advocate for American values everywhere you can! Your country needs you!
@Teh Google User lol... butthurt much? Haters gonna hate.
What about the slavery in China, India, Iran and other countries? You’re so against it, should be abolished everywhere right?
And there is no karma.

Thank God for people like Good Governor Crenshaw
True! Feelings are subjective rights are for everyone.
“Facebook is not the arbiter of truth… just the oar that steers truth into the stream of the highest bidder!”
I think that would be more appropriate.
Always amazed by this. If your not the arbiter of truth why do you care about "fake" news?
Remember buddy... Its truth over facts whatever tf that means but you know the the the the thing. Ya know.
Let's not forget the 400 million that Zuckerberg sent Biden for his campaign.
What pisses me off is how they want to fact check covid but leave up stuff like breathariens and flat Earth as if there are some Beacon of truth.
Thats questionable on so many levels.
A great place to start is to “STOP USING SOCIAL MEDIA.”
HELLO, thank you.
When i heard twitter was banning photos of people without consent i was really happy about it. I don't use it but it seems alot of politician's use it and nothing ever good comes from that platform ever. I hope they bury it into the ground with authoritarianism weighing it down into oblivion. To many important people think twitter is the pulse of the nation when i heard only 18% of humans use the damn thing. Social media gas turned into a cancer on society and life was better before it was around that is for sure.
@@FRANK45CASTLE well said.
I don't have Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for good reasons. The only "social media" i use are RUclips and Reddit and even that is sometimes too much
Stop Driving Your Cars... that'll show them.
Nailed it sir respect
It's a cool phrase, but the question is whether we're only dealing with "hurt feelings."
We are.
Pretty much. And who decides "truth?"
I agree, break up the big tech just like they did with Ma bell years ago. No one should have control like this..
3rd party fact checkers. Oh and they "write their own journalism" to decide what is true or false
......I was almost falling over ..... between the audacity and the laughability..... " fact checkers " ???!!! " and DECIDE what is True or False'..... oh yeah, that's not FLAWED. AT ALL. 🙄🤭😬🤣
Coming from Mr. Red flag law himself.
Kudos to this gentleman!
When someone says "it's a very complicated and nuanced subject" ...he/she has no intentions of answering a potential "gotcha" question.
#standupforyourfreedom
You mean like Glenn Beck?
Nuance is just another way of saying, "it's a gray area", "it's the thought that counts", or "but I have really good intentions."
All of it is the ends justifying the means, usually by cowards who don't want to solve a problem and would just rather keep the status quo.
@bob bobthebobbobofbobby it's political double speak. If a question is loaded, confront it, call it out.
I'm sorry, Crenshaw doesn't give a hoot or hollar about the bill of rights. It's only important to him when he agrees with it or wants to use it. That is no different than the worst lefty out there.
@bob bobthebobbobofbobby no, it's not enough. It's an excuse for lacking principle and integrity.
I do know the point of a loaded question. The problem is is that you're still playing the game they intended. When hit with a loaded question, call it out.
Say "That's a loaded question. You are trying to manipulate an answer. Would you like to answer if you have stopped beating your spouse yet?"
You expose the attempt, and you put them on the defensive. That is what defeats them.
@bob bobthebobbobofbobby no, no, and thrice again no. You're making excuses and relying on hypotheticals.
All you are doing is playing the game by their rules, and lowering yourself down to their level to do it. It doesn't take an hour to defeat a loaded question and it doesn't take political double speak with non answers either.
The problem still remains though that Dan Crenshaw is a RINO that has no problem violating the bill of rights. Get your nuance from that. You are either a threat to the bill of rights or you safe guard all of it, there is no middle ground.
Isn't it interesting how many people will use "the ends justify the means" even though doing so is wrong? Now here we have someone insisting that it's a good reason to do so, that it's a matter of convenience and saving time....
Instead of cutting through the BS and lies, we have weak and spineless excuses from people whose own actions do not match their words. This is what has been going on for the last 30 years in the GOP, and its why our nation is being destroyed by the left today. Remove your heads from your butts, because reality is knocking. Keep playing the same games and our nation will end.
Crenshaw has it correct! Common sense from texas!
Crenshaw is in favor of red flag laws, pushes climate change hoax, defends RINOS who voted for Bidens infrastructer plan, is a member of the WEF with Alex Soros and that whole clan. Being a vet from Texas doesn't make him good. RINO globalist is more like it.
RINO. It's a shame. But he's a RINO.

Facts: Big Tech Media is scared of it
Well Big Tech supports the Democrats so that is no surprise.
Facebook is a "platform" meaning you can post things you want, when they fact check your post, it makes them an "editor". They need their tax status changed to reflect that.
We should be able to sue them for promoting left wing lies
So your saying everyone including our politicians can just say whatever lies they want np???

@@ivantavarez1852 not really, just calling out the left
Need more people like Crenshaw.
Hit the nail on the head. People have been lying since we learned to communicate. Once upon a time, people said, "Don't believe everything you read/see on TV/the internet." Smart people took that advice, sought multiple sources to confirm/support, and maintained healthy skepticism towards anyone trying to sell them something.
Now, we're all a bunch of dummies who can't think for ourselves, so we need Uncle Sam and the Umbrella Corporation to protect our eyes and ears from anything that could possibly offend.
I have some VERY carefully chosen words for those who want to sensor my free speech. My intent is to offend but to also be clear that I can't hurt you. Sticks and stones and all... remember that??!?!?! OK then, "FUCK YOU."
RIGHT-the fuck-ON! Love the comment!! 👏
Nothing should be above the Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of Rights. It's the high law of the land.
Tech should not be above the high law of the land.
Censor Violence. Not Free speech
I grew up with the saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" .. And I truly believe that to be true .. I don't give a damn what anyone says about me .. Call me a racist, call me deplorable, call me a redneck ... Why in the hell would I care?
Feelings are NOT terminal unless the only world you live in is made up in your HEAD!
So you won’t care when someone says something about you that gets you fired from your job? You won’t try to sue them?
@@amead78 Through the years there have been many things said about me to employers - thankfully my character is such that it's never gone further than a frank discussion.

@@somekidsaid8708 Exactly.

There has always been racism, bigotry and hate, the difference is that historically people could only spread that hate locally, now they can spread it globally because of social media. We either have to grow thicker skins or take ourselves off social media and live better lives. We can’t tell people what to think or say because where will that end?
Well, I’d say hate was the norm in so many places for so long, there was no need to spread it
People really didn’t start treating one another with respect until VERY recently
The *Government* can't. Find in the first amendment where private citizens, BUSINESSES, and property owners are mentioned as restricted......... You won't be able to because the language states only and specifically *GOVERNMENT* for a reason. This has already been ruled on multiple times. Just not in the favor of the entitled.
@@captainhowdy3906 not that that response was at all related to the comment, but I feel as though if a business has or set of businesses have created a monopoly/oligopoly on the exchange of information, it’s on a just government to protect people’s rights within that organization.

Not to mention that these companies’ policies are written up by politicians who leverage regulations against these companies in exchange for censorship.

YOU ARE ONLY PROVIDING ALL THE PROOF NECESSARY THAT YOU FEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate
-Tom Macdonald
No, there isn’t, and trying to justify any difference supports the notion that censorship is OK. Both are protected by the constitution. What he SHOULD have said is: “there’s NO SUCH THING as hate speech, there is only speech you hate.”
Hate speech is still protected under freedom of speech. Your feelings don't matter.
"Hate speech" is like "white supremacy" in that they are emotional charged, yet utterly meaningless labels being applied to anything that doesn't enthusiastically agree with the woke narrative. It doesn't even have to disagree with the narrative; you could say, "I don't have a strong opinion either way" or "I think both points of view are valid," and they'll call that hate speech, because you're not exclusively supporting their narrative. Witness the "very fine people" hoax that is STILL being misrepresented as truth.
Why does it that when, my first amendment rights are assaulted by snowflakes that have their feelings hurt because of what I say, yet they want the right to say what ever they want? So much for the left being tolerant and inclusive.
@@burleydad hate speech implys prejudice. Prejudice is a choice. Saying it doesn't exist is a bit dramatic for me but I get the sentiment.
She just admitted they are a publisher, with Journalist fact checking post!!
@Pop Gligor how’s that for free speech?
Don’t use their product if you don’t like how they manage it.
@Pop Gligor Section 230 provides protection from civil lawsuits for companies that don't censor their platforms. Section 230 was first implemented in order to ensure that telecom companies weren't held liable for speech sent over the phone, because it was impossible to curate everything passing through the phone lines. However, social media platforms are using Section 230 to evade civil suits while still engaging in censorship.
I'm fine with these social media "platforms" being able to restrict access and speech in any way they want, as long as they have their Section 230 protections stripped.
Awe looks like someone got their feelings hurt cause now you can't respond or tags said person
They don't even check the truth.
I wish people would have discussions without resorting to insults.
I'm more interested in their development of censoring than fact-checking. Facebook censored a video I tried to watch today and pass on to others. The person being interviewed in the video was someone who has been before Congress, and he helped the White House out when all this covid stuff started, he and his father suffered from covid, and he's considered an expert in his field, so why sensor this person's interview?
Exactly.
If you want to know who the bad guys are it's the ones you're not allowed to criticize.
Maybe it didn't fit their narrative?lot of that going on
Facebook stinks, do not use.
@@pattyoneill6724, *Fascistbook*

Oh, fact-checking is difficult. Hillarious
What it really means is it takes a bit of time for the MSM and Big Tech to repeat what they want the facts to become and line up the chorus before most people will digest it as the truth.
The war on misinformation will likely be as successful as the war on drugs...
@@glennjohn3824 Good point.
It's hard for the left to tell the truth.
Nah, you misspelled it. It’s “Hillaryous.” You know, because “she” is allergic to facts. You’d have to be to CHOOSE to defend a grown man who raped a child. People who do that kind of thing don’t even deserve a public defender. I got an idea - wanna defend the public? Get rid of all child rapists!
