To the extent that rules don't get equally applied by social media platforms, they're generally biased in favor of the right.

However, the right, due to its inherent animus for large sections of society, breaks the rules so much more often and so much more egregiously (eg Babylon Bee) that actual enforcement decisions are applied against the right more often.



Nonsense. You just define the rules such that this is the conclusion ("everyone that disagrees with me is a nazi etc...")


The rules used to prohibit deliberate misgendering, which any reasonable person would regard as cruelty to a marginalized group. The right (such as the Babylon Bee) disproportionately engages in this action, so it used to get banned more for this.

This is also why anti-trans actions by right-wing state governments in the US have been consistently shut down by the courts (e.g. [1]). There is no evidence to support their actions -- they're driven by sheer animosity.

Nothing "nonsense" about this.

The way the right plays the refs is by claiming that the fact that the right gets banned disproportionately ipso facto means that the rules are biased. That's what's "nonsense" here.

> Although at least one key supporter of the Act in the General Assembly justified its requirements in relation to supposed risks of sexual assault and rape, there is (1) no evidence, in either the legislative record or the record of this case, that there is any significant problem of individuals’ abusing trans-inclusive restroom policies for that purpose and (2) no reason to think that, if such a problem existed, the mandated signs would address it.


Again, nonsense. You could make these kind of claims along any lines, for example, christians are the target of discrimination for their beliefs etc. You just choose the ones that align with left-wing ideology and everything else is "hate" and deserving of censorship.


Noticing a startling lack of evidence in your posts here. You're in good company with those right-wing state governments over there.


Why do (extremely) simple concepts like this need a 3rd party to support them?

The kind of "evidence" that is normally presented is typically provided by 3rd-rate activist researchers, attracted to dogma, and who simply come to whatever conclusion perpetuates that dogma.


So you still don't have any evidence for your claims then?

I've made claims here and presented clear evidence. You called it "nonsense" with no substantiation other than vague gestures toward Christians (which Christians?) being targeted (how?) for their beliefs (which beliefs?)

I understand that you're trying to drag me down to the meta level so you can beat me with experience, but I'm not willing to take the bait here, sorry.


Neither of us has provided meaningful evidence. We are already on the same level. I havent dragged you anywhere.

You've just pulled up a bit of dross from a highly partisan organisation and are claiming that this is proof of something.

It would be like me quoting fox news as proof.


A judgment made by a federal court in the United States is "a bit of dross", apparently.

I checked your post history. It's pretty clear you are deep in an alternate reality. I hope you can find your way out of it some day.


Lol
