Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Censorship: Twitter, Facebook and Google Aren’t “Private Companies” One of the most common argument defending social media companies who censor their platforms, used by both cuckservatives and leftists, is that “private companies can do whatever they want with their products.” We’ve already addressed that argument before, on its own merits. Basically, these companies operate as de-facto monopolies, and thus need to be regulated by the government. Also, social media is the modern public space, and thus needs to be protected by the First Amendment. But there’s a more fundamental flaw in the notion that “social media giants can ban whatever they want on their platforms since they’re private companies.” Namely, that none of these organizations are “private companies” by any definition. They’re all public, limited liability corporations. A private company is a business owned by a private citizen (or group of citizens). It’s his private property, and he is fully liable for it. In other words, if his company goes bankrupt, or if he gets sued into oblivion in some lawsuit, the owner can have his house and car confiscated to pay the company’s creditors. A public corporation is completely different. These are special organizations given protection and backing by the state, and no one truly “owns” them in the conventional sense of the term. They have “shareholders,” not owners. These shareholders are not personally responsible (they have limited liability) for the actions of the corporation. For example, if a pharmaceutical corporation were to dump AIDS-infected vaccines on the market, none of the shareholders would be sent to prison for this. Not one of Bayer’s shareholders went to jail over this. In other words, corporations like Google and Twitter are given a very high level of immunity by the government as a special privilege. In theory, corporations could be held criminally liable for doing bad stuff and dissolved, but in practice, even the most abhorrent violations will go unpunished or receive small fines as penalties. Traditionally, this kind of privilege was granted only in exchange for the promise that the corporation would fulfill specific needs of the nation that the government was unable or unwilling to meet itself. This obligation was encoded in a “charter,” and such things had to be approved by the king, or by parliament. A classic example of this were the East India Company and Hudson’s Bay company, corporations chartered for the purpose of colonization. These guys aren’t Royal soldiers – they’re part of the East India Company’s corporate military force. Of course, these days, corporations can be created easily without government permission and without having to do anything positive for the nation. And yet, they still enjoy all the incredible privileges that incorporation allow. But these special privileges are only possible because the government grants it. In an anarcho-capitalist society without a state, there would obviously be no such thing as a “limited liability corporation.” In other words, corporations are extensions of the state – not private businesses. Corporations operate outside the “free market,” and are instead more like semi-privatized government organizations. They have special privileges. It’s only natural to think that they should also have special obligations – like they used to. This used to be common sense. But decades of propaganda has erased the common man’s understanding of what a corporation is, and now most people think that these organizations are just like private businesses, and have no special obligation towards the nation. That’s dead wrong. None of these corporations could operate without the backing of the state – and your tax dollars. For example, if you had a private business and started dumping toxic waste in the municipal water supply, you’d be held personally liable for that and you’d have to pay back the damages in full – even if that meant selling your private property and being saddled in debt for the rest of your life. On the other hand, if a corporation did the same thing, it might get in a lawsuit and have to pay some fine, but not the full amount – the taxpayers would foot the rest of that bill. You might not believe me – I know it sounds insane. But it’s right there on Wikipedia: There’s actually quite a lot of redpills in that article, I recommend it if you want to understand corporations a bit better. If Google was a private company, you think their owners would accept being personally legally responsible for everything immoral the company and its subsidiaries do? Of course not. They’d keep everything on the up and up, and operate very conservatively. They certainly wouldn’t tolerate hiring mentally ill people, who cause society enormous damage on a whim. Just look at all the major video game companies in America. Among them, the only true “private company” is Valve, owned personally by Gabe Newell. Accordingly, the company is run much more conservatively, allows for a much greater freedom of speech than their competitors, and seems to hire far fewer (if any) insane SJWs. It’s a real business, run to make money and appeal to their customer base without jamming propaganda down their throats. This is the reality. Google, Facebook and Twitter are not “private enterprises.” They’re public corporations. Their profits are based on the state – our tax dollars. As such, the people, represented by the state, have every right to demand these entities respect our right to free speech – or any other right whatsoever.

Amen ! Ephesians 5:11King James Version (KJV) 11 "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. " The best thing about old age is that it doesn't last forever.
They’re public corporations. Their profits are based on the state – our tax dollars. Neither do they qualify as public utilities -- more like criminal Mafia cartels that have made it their genocidal mission to destroy Freedom of Speech and Association for Americans they disagree with politically or otherwise; their offline careers, too, not just their online-business centers (which they were deceptively entrapped into establishing on platforms disguised as "social media" in a Common Marketplace of American Commerce and Communications in lawful accordance with America's founding principles but morphed into monstrosities with spidery webs of a Soviet-styled Iron Curtain censorship system comprising: Asset and Income forfeiture, Intellectual Property and Copyright forfeiture, facilatory advancements for the Persecutorial, Dehumanizing and Endangerment Tactics of SJW Isolationists and other Cultural Marxist sorts who've essentially demanded and acquired for themselves the biggest media constructs benefiting from our U.S. publicly funded digital-environment -- basically partitioned and pseudo-"privatized" now by their autocrats as Leftist/Globalist/Communist "safe spaces" of amorality). Similar to lifeboats being strafed in the water by hostile-fire, even voluntary-donation lifelines of financial help for the endeavors of Conservatives (and whoever else isn't a Left-leaning cultist) have also been inhumanely sunk by the cyberspace Orwellians. This is all very much like a model-mimicry of how the EU architects presented their structural-intent for a European Union formation as simply an economic business arrangement by Common Market mutual-agreements and, soon afterwards, unmasked as the National Sovereignty smashing political dictatorship that it has duplicitously become -- a domineering super-state entrenched within every nation that initially signed onto it in good faith for the best interests of their people, economically speaking, and not for the aristocratic enactments or coercively imposed policymaking orders of an extra-governmental control cabal aiming to intimidate, punish and silence objectors. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
