Keri Hilson getting killed for Trump tweet: Is she right though ???
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
shit is over the 5 line reading limit
Didnt know she a Def Leppard fan 
did she say anything when Farrakhan was banned by Twitter?
There is a difference between an “opinion“ and an outright call for destruction by the so called leader of the USA.
Her perspective is not taking into account that this man's words incited violence and terrorism resulting in the deaths of at least 6 people and they are trying to prevent more mayhem.
No, she is not right.
I will let Vic explain why....

She, like most Americans, don’t understand that “freedom of speech” only applies to government action/censorship...not to private business. Even then, there are limits to speech. For example, one can not incite a riot...or a lynching..the government can regulate that kind of speech.
Ignorance and lack of civic education is partly what brought us to this point with this asshole and his dumb ass lemmings.

She's completely wrong because her premise is flawed. Twitter and other Social Media platforms, by banning Trump, have not, in any way, abridged his First Ammendment Free Speech right. That right guarantees that you can say pretty much anything and the Govt. cannot arrest you. That's it. It does not guarantee that private companies must allow you to use their services to spread your speech. Those companies are well within their rights to limit or block the use of their platforms. It's clearly stated in the Terms of Use.
If Donald Trump wants to continue to exercise his First Amendment right, he can stand on any street corner or pay for radio or TV time.

Exactly. Keri needs to shut the fuck up, sing, spread her legs and make me a sandwich.
A complete moron, this is another case of a celebrity trying to sound deep & thought provoking but failed. She also know what she's doing typing this shit knowing it would grab attention.
She's right
said:She is right in theory...but nothing she says applies in this context....that man abandoned the weekly press briefings because he didn't want to answer questions...Trump can get a press conference quicker than anyone on Earth....his freedom of speech is not being infringed upon...social media sites can ban anyone they feel like and he has been in violation of their rules for a minute

She’s kinda right. The internet used to be the wild west, now it’s an oligarchy with 2-3 major players controlling information. Incredibly dangerous. Shit, Amazon owns the Washington Post, let that sink in.
ppl really dont know what is free speech and what it covers in the constitution
The Government can not prosecute a citizen for Free Speech. But companies can like Twitter.
In addition the Government can prosecute a citizen yelling fire in a crowded movie theather. In this case public safety takes precedent over their Free Speech because puts the public in danger (potential stampede of ppl trying to get out)
in the case of Trump PRIVATE businesses banned and furthermore his actions threatened our Democracy
this is the result of history, social studies and civics no longer being emphaised in American education. Shout out to the good teachers out there but its bugged out teaching my kids about shit i learned in school.

I'm not going to act like a know it all and I've never thoroughly read the 1st amendment, but I assumed this was more so about the government abusing it's authority to infringe on what people said. Would a private company even normally fall under the protection of the 1st amendment?
Also why are people acting as though this doesn't already happen to normal people who break the rules of the platform. Regardless there are always exceptions to the rule. It's one thing if we are just talking about conspiracy nuts, but if someone is clearly inciting violence that is completely different especially if said person actually holds enough power over people to get them to commit to the act.
Trump's last worry shouldn't be about losing social media outlets. He's lucky they are not charging him with treason outright and even with control of both houses he'll never see a day in jail. Any member congress who was involved should also be charge or forced to resign yet Joe Biden is too concerned with turning the other cheek. Given the opportunity, Trump or any republican would not give the same courtesy.If that had been any other person, no one would have gave a fuck about our supposed context. At best we would be in jail until we went to court to argue about what we really meant on the day people stormed the capital to interfere in a federal event putting members of congress and the VP in danger. At worse we never make it to the jail cell to begin with.
The real issue is with what happened with parlor. For me the problem isn't it getting kicked of the platforms and AWS itself. As long as everyone more or less is required to follow the same rules it doesn't really matter if these companies kick people of their platforms. The real issue is that those companies have a monopoly that are hard to bypass. If the government tries to do more to stop that, then people bitch about free enterprise and say the government shouldn't interfere.

Trump can have his free speech, He just doesn't own the platforms he using for the speech . There for he must follow the owners Terms of service, which he did not, he violated. He can go yell on the corner of his block no one will ban him for that.
No she isnt
Bezos is hands off of WP. Rupert Murdock own Faux and delivers misinformation daily.
Twitter and FB are private companies....they can do whatever the fuck they want.
If both of them updated their TOS and said from now on everyone will need to agree to give 24/7 access to their location and data......
A large group of ppl will cause a fuss and delete the app.....but these new mfkrs....its so ingrained in them they couldn't click ok fast enough. And guess what, the government wouldn't do a damn thing about it.
where were these black celebs when Farrakhan and NOI were banned from these platforms?
I questioned who will be next after Farrakhan....

Nope, once again she's loud and wrong. Freedom of Speech has limitations, inciting violence being one of them. Furthermore, Twitter has explicit terms of service that Trump violated routinely, and had he not been President (who has a tendency to issue public policy from Twitter) he would have been deplatformed a long time ago.
Keri Hilson, is one of them fake deep, dingy bitches who is better seen than heard.

For those saying she's right. 
those citizens going missing or getting put in jail after criticizing the Chinese government? THAT is suppression of free speech.
Everyone seems to understand that there is certain material that you can get banned for posting HERE ON BGOL because, in the end- this site is HNIC's and he gets to make the rules. And everyone is cool with that.
Is HNIC taking your free speech away? Of course not. He can't arrest you and you are free to go to other websites and post all the bullshit you want.- as long as you don't break their rules.
In that same way, Twitter gets to make its own rules, and when a user breaks them- it is twitter's prerogative to suspend or ban that user. If the user also broke google's rules, amazon's rules, instagram's tik-tok's ect ect .. and even fucking pinterest's
..whelp 
it is what it is, but it what it ain't is suppression of free speech.
in fact there is likely a first amendment issue with forcing a private company to carry a government message.

What does ‘hands off’ mean? Amazon has made a killing off of the pandemic.
