The FCC Is Asking For Public Comments On Social Media Censorship

The Federal Trade Commission invites public comment to better understand how technology platforms deny or degrade (such as by “demonetizing” and “shadow banning”) users’ access to services based on the content of the users’ speech or their affiliations, including activities that take place outside the platform.

In doing so, technology platforms may employ opaque or unpredictable internal procedures to restrict users’ access to services, often without any advance notice, leaving affected users with little ability to mitigate the related harm. Users may also receive little information about the alleged violations that led to their dismissal or downgrading on the platform.

Technology platforms may similarly deny their users a meaningful opportunity to challenge or appeal the platforms’ decisions. Such actions by technology platforms may violate their terms of service or other policies (collectively, “policies”) and flout users’ reasonable expectations based on the technology platforms’ public representations. Such policies and practices, which may affect competition, may have resulted from a lack of competition or may have been the product of anti-competitive conduct.

FTC staff is interested in understanding how consumers have been harmed—including by potentially unfair or deceptive acts or practices, or potentially unfair methods of competition— by technology platforms that limit users’ ability to share their ideas or affiliations freely and openly. FTC staff encourages members of the public, including current and former employees of technology platforms, to comment on any issues or concerns that are relevant to the FTC’s consideration of this topic, including, but not limited to, the following questions:

LOL I posted this and a link back to Alien-Earth.

This is one of the most heavily censored websites. Elaine Monogue bans conservatives and pro Trump users. She also Posts the I.P. address of the people she bans. She has several registered members whish she allows and encourages to bully other users. She is on SSI and SS and Government housing assistance and begs for Donations with a goal set of $1000 a month, which I am sure she is not reporting to the IRS.

Below is a copy of her FAQ page/

Elaine and the IDF issued a joint statement today, explaining that OPs thread had a Hammas bunker underneath it and that was why she nuked it from orbit by farting from her broomstick.

Then the lord Jesus performed a miracle and resurrected it through the power of love.

RE: The FCC Is Asking For Public Comments On Social Media Censorship

I have filed a complaint also. Not just against Alien-Earth, but also against Lunatic outpost and Fetid Poo Pit.

My complaint has nothing to do with censorship, it addresses the Bullying and Harassment that has resulted in the Suicide of 26 members of these communities in the past 15 years.

16 of those were on Lunatic Outpost
7 of those were on Fetid Poo Pit
3 of those were on Alien-Earth

I feel the Owners and Moderators could have done more to prevent these needless deaths and should be held accountable.

When the "One Legged Tranny" killed himself I took a screengrab of the announcement and disgusting ridicule that followed and saved it to a folder. Over the years that folder has sadly grown to 26 of those announcements. I think there are others that died alone, and had no friends or family to report the grim news.

Last night I created a PDF of the screengrabs I have and posted it as an attachment with my complaint hoping the Dead may get some justice.

He doesn't have to prove anything, the FCC will seize the server and find the info themselves, also a couple of the ones I personally saw myself on LOP included obituaries.

Also if the posts were deleted, they don't go away, they are just hidden from public view.

Not saying I agree with what the poster has done, but he does have a point.

No idea. I have no way of knowing if our "members" are even real people or not. Especially since the "create account" page has not been functional for at least 2 years. Plus most all of the email addresses aren't real and are something like "fuckyouelaine@fuckyou.com" and silly stuff like that.

I don't normally visit the other listed websites because boring, so I don't recognize most of the people on those sites, even if they post stuff about each other here.

Maybe they out to be more concerned about bible thumping in elementary schools and trump cronies efforts to indoctrinate than a podunk website like AE where we mostly just share info and give each other shit.

Hit the 1st Amendment and nobody really cares. The 2nd Amendment is like touching the 3rd rail in a subway station.

Eventually, the slow moving assault on the 1st is going to bulldoze us.

I'm pretty sure there were BBSs back in the mid 90s, although I wasn't online before mid to late 2000. I remember people talking about the travesty that was y2k retrospectively.

not bbs. They were called MUD or MUMPS. Usually run on a unix box and written in COBOL or FORTRAN, or maybe assembly language. This was before the 1200 baud modem.

After that there was Prodigy, and then AOL. Then we had the WWW.

One thing I will say for Magus, before he went full mask off Nazi and started posting about killing Jews, he used to donate to Elaine big time and once he even offered to donate a few bitcoin to Elaine (before it took off) and Elaine was too lazy to make a bitcoin wallet and is now so butthurt about this that she denies this ever happened to this day.

If only Elaine's decision making wasn't so awful she could be living quite comfortably now without resorting to begging all the time.

So it went MUD/MUMPS, then BBS and now forums. A good friend of mine back in the 90s had a 586 that she used for the internet. I guess she was on BBSs. I think she had a 28.8k modem.

Under current Section 230: 47 U.S.C. § 230 she is fine.

For the uninformed, that means that she is not responsible for content posted by her users.

Even if that changes, and people file complaints of harassment about weenie team 3, nothing is going to happen. But it would make her liable if something does. Unless someone makes a serious, credible threat, and we know how that went.

With smusk firing everyone, there will not be anyone to enforce it.

RE: The FCC Is Asking For Public Comments On Social Media Censorship

Section 230: 47 U.S.C. § 230 has nothing to do with this you idiot.



1. Section 230 embodies that principle that we should all be responsible for our own actions and statements online, but generally not those of others. The law prevents most civil suits against users or services that are based on what others say.

2. Section 230 protects online platforms from liability for some types of speech by their users

If it did Elaine would have to prove the posts she removes are harmful to others, if she is sued.

We are dealing with Political censorship here. Its a different ball game.

I'm not an idiot. I have received death threats over this forum. based on 230 if someone killed me, she would not be liable even if I reported the threats to her.

If there are changes made, given that circumstance, she would be somehow liable for not providing the information about who made those death threats were they be enacted.

I suggest that you read up on it.
