CNN Doxxes a gif maker

[apathoid]

The classic statement is freedom of speech only applies to government restriction. Two private entities are talking in the scenario above.

That's one way to think about it, in a legal way. I'm thinking about it in an ideological way. If you feel the need to silence your opponents or critics because they disagree with your political views, you aren't a friend of freedom of speech.

I'm just saying that threats against CNN no matter how absurd YOU think they are WILL cause violence. And promoting violence is not protected speech kiddo.

It is a pro wrestling video with the CNN logo on it.

So an individual cannot object to this because "the left" does it, too?

That's hasty generalization and Tu Quoque all rolled into one.

You are absolutely right, but hypocrisy does need to be pointed out sometimes.

You can't make this stuff up -- a stupid wrestling video with a CNN logo pasted on for a head is "promoting violence"?

Yea. It sucks that we're here today but it is what it is. If we can elect a total moron like Trump, then clearly we're at a place where people can be stupid enough to take that gif and run with it in real life.

You need to go look up how the Supreme Court views this. To sum up: Only exhortations to imminent lawless and direct, specific actions count. "I wish someone would kill them" or "Wouldn't it be neat if someone sawed off Trump's head like this -- I might do so myself!" or "I want to blow up the White House!", these are protected speech.

I'm aware of all that. It doesn't change the fact that some lunatic can take the protected speech the wrong way and act on it. People are stupid. Again, look what they did to the White House.

I have no idea what that means.. I'm so burned!

But you only arrive at "hypocrite" by using fallacious reasoning, to which you just added circular reasoning...

You're invoking the legally enforceable standard, he was discussing the predictable sociological results.

Thank you.

Nice to see someone gets it...

He said "not protected speech", which is a legal statement, and beyond merely sociological issues. And if you think goofy images like that are not protected because some jackass might decide to do something about it, then let's see Kathy Griffin and Bernie Sanders rounded up right quicklike.

Which I will be against, too, though I predict types like you, if you follow through logically, would be in favor of.

I honestly don't know how to respond to it.

I guess you're with blimp boy in that you think the number of crazy people who would take that literally and try to attack CNN is zero? None?

If the person is a public figure with public bad acts, is reminding people of those acts silencing them? What is the line?

Whats the fallicious reasoning? I dont know much about NoahFence but I am already certain he has never called out violence from the left. I'll happily be shown to be wrong.

 

[Elagabalus]

...Ah, so you agree with what CNN did here?

Not Really

...It's ok for a big business to harass private citizens, possibly breaking the law?

I don't think they broke the law.

...Are you defending it out of principle of defending "the man" versus defending "the little guy" or does your hatred of Trump cause you to throw all your liberal principles out of the window?

I'm more of a "Big Picture" kind of guy. Over the holiday weekend I gave in to temptation and started watching the worst of the worst on Youtube. Yes, that notorious cesspit of backbiting ideologues known collectively as the Photography channels. Never have I seen so many infantile comments. I'm hoping after this little covfefe people will start thinking twice about writing some **** on the internet!

Its a silly gif. How about lets save the outrage for when its needed. It just looks so bad for CNN right now. They've had a really bad week and they cant seem to able to stop digging.

We are discussing if it is needed. I don't accept that contention.

 

[Beerina]

The ability of memeslingers to control the drooling and goobering credophile cogs of this or that outrage machine is reaching profound levels of facetiousness.

 

[apathoid]

So you oppose silly gifs and memes and calls of violence from the left as well? Your last two responses to me have been void of arguments. I guess its all you have when you are defending the indefensible.

What he said. I'm baffled that people are defending this.

This thread ain't about me, but since you asked, I oppose all calls and acts of violence.
