I personally believe that digital holding need seperate regulations then physical ones especially as they have become the most widely consumed sources of information ( I am not claiming that is a good thing).
By allowing them to moderated by biased they offer immensely powerful tools to push forth political and private agendas. I also see inherit value in having as much free expression as possible.

They are but that is what I would place as the upper limit not the starting point.

It's already been stated in the thread and I worry about having this turn circular with me explaining my position continuously
I rather have elected officials in control then a oligarchy yes... don't get me wrong I would rather have none but they are preferable if its only the two.

Maybe you didn't earn that tendie... your not following along very well.
I literally just did.
There are Christian websites and even Christian chat forums. There's even Christian dating sites.
Now, if you want specific URLs, I'll gladly give them to you, just as soon as you give me those sites you were discussing earlier, as well as those draconian laws you were worried about, along with those local laws you supposedly want enforced. I'd hate for you to be intellectually dishonest, and ask for things you are unwilling to also provide.
I'll take any failure to provide those as an admission that you were lying about all of it.
I am going to assume you meant can people post to those sites rather than host them?
Sorry your so confused about the topic its difficult to determine what points your trying to make.
I would argue yes they should just as they should be free to shout them down if it's a open forum.
I admit there are shades of gray to things like private forums that are not trying to be social platforms I see no harm in restricting accounts. The purpose of the platform matter as much as the function.

I suppose it would be. Like I said it's the lesser evil to me not the preferred state of being.
This is not a legal distinction, but an arbitrary personal distinction.

No, it's the greater evil. You're seeking to put legal limitations on speech that do not exist. For anyone claiming to be pro-free speech, that's a hypocritical position to take that's antithetical to the notion of free speech.
Free speech =|= Forced speech.
You're not free to send death threats on these forums.
Private Forums are Social Platforms.admit there are shades of gray to things like private forums that are not trying to be social platforms I see no harm in restricting accounts. The purpose of the platform matter as much as the function.
A Fetus is not a person under the 14th amendment.
Christians are Forced Birth Fascists against Human Rights who indoctrinate and groom children. Prove me wrong.
