Banning the Foley video is popular, but having Twitter & Facebook act as arbiters of what can be seen is problematichttp://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/aug/21/twitter-free-speech-champion-selective-censor?CMP=twt_gu …

@ggreenwald @medialens No it isn't: Twitter & Facebook are private companies. If you don't like their policies go to some other social media

@JustinRaimondo@medialens That's about whether it's legal: nobody is contesting that. Question is if it's wise: writing about that now. -
@ggreenwald@medialens If Twitter & Facebook censor material then competing social media will arise that don't. Markets work if allowed to. -
@JustinRaimondo@ggreenwald@medialens why does having a market economy obviate the need for a discussion of normative issues? -
@jeremy6d@ggreenwald@medialens Discuss all you want, but the market has solved this nonexistent "problem" in advance. So save your breath. -
@JustinRaimondo@jeremy6d@medialens The market reflects values.@ggreenwald will attempt to influence values - what consumers demand. -
@axenicely@jeremy6d@medialens@ggreenwald Agreed. But I couldn't express that given Twitter's word limit. Thanks 4 pointing out., -
@JustinRaimondo But then@ggreenwald's "problem" is value to consumers of unrestricted speech and the problem is not "nonexistent", right? -
@axenicely@ggreenwald That's true only if Glen is speaking on behalf of shareholders.

@JustinRaimondo@ggreenwald@medialens Bigger problems: ISIS were at least trackable on Twitter. Possibly moving to Diaspora now. -
@JustinRaimondo@ggreenwald@medialens private companies? certainly snowden docs cast a bit of mockery on that notion
