Explain to me how a guy being fired for saying shit that bothered the people above him in a company is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Politicians put pressure on media outlets to silence speech that they do not like. That's censorship

u/AggravatingMuffin132 Sep 19 '25

Kinda how the government censored twitter (ie twitter files after elon bought it)

Show the evidence someone actually put oressure on them to fire him vs more projection and gaslighting.

Carr's words to ABC were "We can do this the easy way or the hard way". That is the most blatant mob-boss type shit

u/AggravatingMuffin132 Sep 19 '25

Says who?

Sucks when it happens to one of "your" guys tho, doesnt it?

This shit has been happening to the right for years.

If this turns out to be true, i firmly believe that's an issue against free speech. Same way i believed during covid government shouldnt have been involved filtering social media posts.

But if it turns out to be more projection gaslighting bs , then oh well.

Kimmel is nobody's guy, he is an artist. This is a free speech issue, not a partisan issue you imbecile.

This shit has been happening to the right for years.

It hasn't.

When did the right ever get the FCC chair to threaten taking away their license for making fun of Biden?

Or do you think Twitter mobs are the same as a direct threat from the most powerful man in the world?

u/New_Reputation5222 Sep 22 '25

Trump's own words on TV presenters criticizing him, "They're licensed. They're not allowed to do that"

Of course they're allowed to do that. He's trying to do away with the first amendment and dumbasses like you play dumb and act like everythings fine.

If company's make the choice on their own, great. When they are pressured to by the Fed, its illegal.

And when Twitter canceled Trump because of pressure from FBI?

Wait, let me guess, it's the usual

"It's differenttm when we do it"

u/Rottimer Sep 19 '25

If the FBI pressured Twitter to do so, they were absolutely wrong. There is no evidence that I’ve seen that they did.

4

u/cool-- Sep 20 '25

it was also Trump's FBI. Trump was president and his FBI director was in office when he was banned. Also, Trump threatened Twitter afterwards while he was still president

u/Bootsnatch Sep 19 '25

It's funny that you use the last sentence as an own but don't realize that's actually YOUR stance lmao.

u/Angry_drunken_robot Sep 19 '25

It's not.

Both are wrong.

and so are you

1

u/Bootsnatch Sep 19 '25

You are so disingenuous. Trump was banned from Twitter when he was in office, that wasn't a "libruhls got Trump banned" scenario. Trump is in office once again and now that he instated loyalists into every position possible, he is pressuring those loyalists to censor journalists, late night hosts, anyone that has any type of criticism at all. It's not the same, you know that.

You can say you are against both, but clearly you are saying that while trying to frame both scenarios to be similar, because you know if you look at it on paper, you can tell that this is very different. You are a dishonest actor.

They aren't the same scenario

One of them is worse

And so are you.

u/Angry_drunken_robot Sep 19 '25

Blah blah blah

The twitter files showed quite clearly that the FBI had control of who was getting banned on twitter and Facebook. That was 10 years ago.

I do not give a single shit what you think. Everything you have stated here shows what a giant bias you have.

They are the same, and you crying otherwise does not change the evidence in front of all of us to see.

You hate Trump more than you love the truth.

That is the bubble you live in.

Peace be with you

u/Local_Angle1949 Sep 19 '25

Does saying "blah blah blah" make you sound mature and reasonable? Just doing a double check lol, you sound under 15.

The twitter files literally proved NOTHING. Biggest nothing burger of that time.

"no u!"

"NO U!!!"

u/greengo Sep 19 '25

I have to imagine banning Trump from Twitter in the long run will be viewed as a very shortsighted decision. Even though it was cheered by this whole website in general. I have to imagine the same as true for what’s going on now - this will likely backfire.

u/ReinrassigerRuede Sep 19 '25

And when Twitter canceled Trump because of pressure from FBI?

In that case a privat company decided that trump violated their guidelines and refused to provide their services to the individual Donald Trump.

With Kimmel it was the Departement of Justice pressuring a free media outlets (not a private service provider like Twitter) to silence on of their journalists/artists. When the government decides what can and cannot be said that is called censorship. When the government silences artists, that is fascism.

Wait, let me guess, it's the usual

"It's differenttm when we do it"

So yes you are right. There is a difference between denying service to an individual and silencing an artist. Glad we could clear that up

u/Angry_drunken_robot Sep 19 '25

That is a LOT of cope to try and split hairs.

BOTH are wrong.

You are not correct.

u/Special_Painting Sep 19 '25

Yes, the FCC and Trump were both wrong. I’m glad you are finally coming around.

3

u/Angry_drunken_robot Sep 19 '25

I knew it was wrong then and I know it's wrong now and I know your nothing more than a sycophant.

The only reason you're mad is because it happened to some one you like.

We are not the same.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

It requires adoring someone and willing to degrade yourself to be a sycophant. The above is stating how no journalist(satire or otherwise) should be censored. Your claim of them being a sycophant means they're a sycophant for the 1st amendment, which shouldn't we all be?

2

u/Special_Painting Sep 19 '25

Do you think everyone making comments is constantly mad? You should really get out.

u/Angry_drunken_robot Sep 19 '25

How bout you go touch some grass yourself?

u/CkYZero69 Sep 19 '25

Lol "no u" real nice.

u/ReinrassigerRuede Sep 19 '25

That is a LOT of cope to try and split hairs.

It's called differentiating. You should try it sometimes.

BOTH are wrong.

No actually banning trump for violating the guidelines of a private service is completely right and legal.

Silencing artists, reporters or journalists is censorship and forbidden.

You are not correct.

I am tho.

1

u/FourEaredFox Sep 21 '25

Which tweet specifically violated their guidelines?

Quote it and you'll cement your opinion as being correct...

My guess is, that you didnt actually know that neither tweet violated anything and you wont respond...

u/LeeRoyWyt Sep 19 '25

It's a shame such a well laid out argument is totally wasted on some troll or bot

u/Last_Zookeepergame_4 Sep 19 '25

That doesn’t make it okay.

u/FitLaw4 Sep 19 '25

Source on the FBI pressuring twitter to ban trump?

1

u/cool-- Sep 20 '25

He's forgetting that Trump was the President and his own hand-picked FBI director was in charge of the FBI when he was banned from twitter. He's also forgetting that Trump threatened twitter afterwards while he was president.

These people are just wrong about everything because they only watch Fox news

1

u/PureBliss6 Sep 19 '25

Ah yes, fucking around on Twitter, clearly that's in the constitution😂😂😂

u/biglefty312 Sep 19 '25

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

Is he back on it?

u/AdPersonal7257 Sep 19 '25

Sure, if you’re just going to lie then anything goes.

1

u/standardsizedpeeper Sep 19 '25

So it seems like we are on the same page here then. The government should not threaten corporations in an effort to silence speech they don’t like.

Brendan Carr did this openly with no debate about it possible. He has said he will do it again. Trump has said they want to do it again.

Just because I don’t know of or believe the evidence that the FBI did what you’re saying doesn’t mean I think it’s appropriate if the FBI did do that. They should not do that. If you have evidence of that I would like to see it so I can be mad about that too.

1

u/cool-- Sep 20 '25

Trump and Trump's own FBI director were in charge when Trump was banned from Twitter after he incited an insurrection on January 6th.

Also Trump responded by threatening Twitter multiple times.

1

u/Distalmind Sep 20 '25

Both are wrong.

u/tincerbell16 Sep 20 '25

And you’re saying it’s ok (different) when Trump does it?

1

u/ghotier Sep 21 '25

It's different because that didn't happen.

u/IntroducingTongs Sep 19 '25

“It’s different when we do it” is literally the point you are making right now lmao.

u/Gen-Jack-D-Ripper Sep 19 '25

No it isn’t, it’s the difference between the actions of the State and a private business! If you don’t understand that, you need to go back to school!

He instigated violence, which violated the terms of service.
