So if you have a bakery you have the freedom to object to what is written on your cakes, but if you have a website you are forced to have whatever people write on it.
What they want to do is silence other's dissent, not theirs.
Sure, but when it comes down to it, there's a lot more to it than that, Brian. Social media is the new public square, and plenty of people on the left and LBGT people are being censored as well, so this would help these people as well. I'm against the part where they have to get illegal material off the site within two days though. Social media is the new town square. That's why people should be free to post what they want. The Taliban is being platformed by twitter for God's sake, while scientists and the POTUS are banned. How fucked is that? If a Christian doesn't want to make a sinful cake, go somewhere else. Why do you want to support their business anyhow? A cake shop is not the town square. There is no comparison at all.
Facebook, twitter, google ect have massive influence on US elections. You worry about Russia spending some thousands of dollars on facebook meme ads, when it's really these multi-billion dollar companies that have the biggest influence on elections.
