has nothing to do with Yahoo's comments section. and that baker in Colorado's right to refuse was upheld.

I don't doubt for a second that the move is partially political on Yahoo's part... but so what? They're a private enterprise.. they can do what they damn well want, right?

it's more for legal reasons than anything else i think. there is talk of stripping away the immunity from posted comments on websites making the sites responsible for those comments.



could you imagine what would happen to ECCIE if that protection is removed??


YIKES!

You realize that internet platforms have a special dispensation if they only host content.

As such a beneficiary they ought to be fair to all points of view.

However, I believe the marketplace can sort it out.

Anybody really think the internet is free and un-censored

So you just checked zerohedge but not Huffingtonpost?
Of course you did. Did you think your claim about their "comments" (as claimed by you) would go unchecked? It doesn't matter what your answer is. You'll just lie again.

You're a fucking liar. Plain and simple.
You're a trump-wanna-be.
He lies, you lie.
The party of lying liars.

PS Sometimes not even a pittance.

i find it amusing that most of the far left rags never had comments. like the HuffyPooPoo.


Carlson will be fine. the "wokesters" will give in before he does. why? ratings = money.

what a whitewash. this is one of the reasons Yahoo doesn't want comments anymore. too many people discussing what a fuckup he is. can't have that! also i noticed the HuffyPOO is now requiring their own "membership account" to post comments. i may actually do that just to see all the drama queens freaking out over poor George.



Newly Leaked Bodycam Footage Shows George Floyd’s Heartbreaking Plea To Police

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/georg...061930758.html


Leaked footage shows George Floyd begging police not to shoot him minutes before his death by police officers in Minneapolis on May 25.


“OK, Mr. Officer, please don’t shoot me. Please, man,” Floyd said when officers approached as he sat in his car. One officer had a gun drawn and aimed at Floyd’s head.


“I just lost my mom, man,” Floyd said in the footage first obtained by The Daily Mail. “Please don’t shoot me, Mr. Officer, please.”


Floyd also apologized throughout the video as the cops cursed at him.


“Put your fucking hand up there,” one officer ordered. “Jesus Christ, keep your fucking hands on the wheel.”


When the police attempted to put Floyd in the back of a police vehicle, he warned them that he was claustrophobic. Floyd was eventually forced to the ground. Then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin shoved a knee into his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as Floyd cried out: “I can’t breathe.”


Bystanders urged other police officers at the scene to intervene, but they refused.


Floyd was pronounced dead a short time later, kicking off protests and unrest around the nation that continue to this day. Chauvin and three other officers were fired and all are facing criminal charges.
