      "You can grab them by the pussy BECAUSE THEY LET YOU"

      I have sex with my husband because he lets me.

      'I just start kissing them, I DON'T EVEN WAIT'

        What do you think about the woman Trump talked about in that conversation who led him on so he would buy her a bunch of furniture, despite knowing she wouldn't sleep with him?

        This is where you give her the pussy pass.

        Arianne Zucker was there for most of the conversation and she didn't seem offended, but I guess you are offended for her.

          There is no "choice" under Section 230...

          If you publish a libelous post about someone, you are responsible! No Section 230 protection!

          If you provide a platform, and a 3rd party posts libelous content on that platform, you can sue the person who authored the post, but you cannot sue the platform!

          If you provide a platform, and you post content that is libelous, you have no protection under Section 230 - because you're not a 3rd party!

            NYT is a publisher. They control what is published, therefore they are liable for what is on their site.

            Twitter is a platform, so they have no legal liability for what is posted. HOWEVER, they act as a publisher by controlling what is published.

              Sorry - removing some posts (and protection against suits because of that) is covered under Section 230

              You are not guaranteed unfettered free speech - ANYWHERE!!
              Even the Government can limit speech in certain circumstances - but Twitter isn't the Government - and neither are they a monopoly (or even a regulated provider, like your local TV Station! Twitter is not broadcast over public airwaves)...

              Your (falsely) perceived 1st Amendment right to post your political views on their (privately owned) platform is running head first into their actual right to do whatever they want with their property!

              NOTE: IF Twitter were to require their editorial approval BEFORE allowing content on their site, THEN they would be a publisher....

              This ain't that!

                No duh, the Supreme Court has been clear on free speech.

                Are you saying I would be totally within my right to ban you and the rest of the swamp monster?

                Twitter has set rules for what is allowed and what is not allowed, as a publisher would do.

                Ironically enough, Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS, but saying "but they aren't women, though" does violate their TOS. What does it say about you that you are defending them.

                  Are you saying that a private company cannot set out ToS for the platform it has created?

                  ToS is not editorialising.

                    So you admit that Frumpy was messing around with women.

                    This is where you give her the pussy pass.

                    Nope.

                    I don't care what Arianne thinks, I know what's on the tape.

                      Yes, they have, and a private platform setting out ToS is not a free speech issue.

                      Twitter has set rules for what is allowed and what is not allowed, as a publisher would do.

                      Nope, this is ToS, something that the majority of private companies have

                      Ironically enough, Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS, but saying "but they aren't women, though" does violate their TOS. What does it say about you that you are defending them.

                      Why are you lying?

                          Besides the fact that you are such a child that you can't say Trump's name properly, what does it have to do with anything?

                          You are all butt hurt about how Trumpsupposedly treats women, but you feel it's ok to discount women who don't agree with you.

                          Typical liberal.

                            As I already asked, would I be totally in my rights and you would willingly accept it If I banned you because you are too childish enough to say Trump's name properly?

                            Nah, you'd whine and we all know it.

                              Is it against ToS here to not talk about the tangerine terror by name?

                                  You have no right to free speech on a private site.

                                  That is your stance.

                                    Is my link and screenshot, proving your claim that "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS" wrong too much for you to comprehend?

                                      Pretty much, just like you have no right to free speech when in another person's private home.

                                        And yet you clearly didn't read my link.

                                        They refused to remove the child porn because it didn't violate their TOS.

                                        They only removed it because Homeland security got involved.

                                        Why are you trying to defend their shitty action?

                                          Is you quote "Twitter says kiddie porn doesn't violate their TOS" wrong or not?

                                          Did you not read the link or screenshot I sent?

                                          Have them again:

                                          link text

                                          TwitterToS - Copy.png

                                          So, to ask you again, does Twitter explicitly say that child porn is not acceptable on their site or not?

                                          Did you lie, or were you uninformed?

                                            So, you would happily accept being banned from here, without ever complaining about it, because you have no right to free speech here?

                                            Of course, you wouldn't. You would whine to everyone how I'm a fascist because I banned you because of your free speech.
