Florida recently passed a law refusing social media companies the ability to censor or otherwise restrict users’ lawful content, but an appeals court has struck down the law, citing the social media companies’ free speech rights under the First Amendment. A different appellate court ruled in the opposite direction concerning a Texas law, however, so it appears that the Supreme Court will soon be weighing in to determine whether social media censorship is protected by the First Amendment.
Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger puzzle over the curious pretzel logic that pervades among questions of social media platforms and censorship today.

The Santis should be our President.
I actually agree with ruling b/c they are private/public companies however they should be liable to be sued, it seems…
Social media is destroying this country. FAKEBOOK instagram twatter and the rest all need to go
Social media is destroying this country.
Welcome to the upsidedown world were censorship is free speech, war is peace, ignorance is strength.
MANY COUNTRIES BAN GUNS MAKING COMPARISON DIFFICULT. WHAT WOULD BE A BETTER STATISTIC WOULD BE KILLINGS PER THOUSAND OWNED GUNS OR PERHAPS KILLINGS PER ARMED HOUSEHOLD. How about mass killings per million dollars of Soros gun control lobbying among those creative unconventional contractors using sophisticated behavior technology to get things moving. Or shootings when taking up the question has been in the legislature's docket versus when it was not. Or how about gang killings or drug addict killings or domestic violence killings with and without guns. Lockdowns have effects not mentioned by their advocates and corporate media and so foes disarming the public.
There is no more "left" or "right" Jimmy. There is the fascist machine and then there is everyone else and the fascist machine is comprised of billionaires and all the government they have been able to buy at this point. The problem in Florida is there are competing factions within the fascist machine.
I wonder whose pocket those judges are in?
Jimmy I love you but I suggest you talk to governor DeSantis yourself even have him on the show before you make disparaging remarks about him .
but, as Jimmy points out, they label themselves 'common carrier. also, section 220 is federal, which in this area is overruled by state law
George Carlin always struck me as a corporate sort of guy.
The sellout Colbert said "Carlin got way too dark in the end for me" 👈🤣😂🤣 Yeah because Carlin always embraced reality and Colbert avoids uncomfortable truths! What a baby!
Shut up Kurt!!! You add nothing to the show except irritation!!
Its like Peace Keeper missles
Youtube CEO gave herself a "Free Expression Award", got ratioed so hard they stop displaying dislikes.
Wow… I am utterly flabbergasted… These companies are untouchable, I wonder how much the judge was paid…
They are really trying to get people to lose their shit.
An Obama appointed Judge i'd say, if it was a Trump appointed Judge this would never have happened.
If censorship is protected by the 1st Amendment none of our Rights matter.
Who run the government Dumb and Drunker!
Land of the free 😁 🤭
"Censorship is Speech." Even George Orwell didn't go that far.
We have gone Through The Looking Glass and beyond. 🙄🙄
Today a friend of mine posted two photos of the same location by the sea .. 80 years apart .. in reference to sea levels “rising” .. because it clearly showed no difference in the level at all… Facebook censored and covered the photo!! That’s a factual photo and they cover it ..sickening
You see Jimmy maybe one day you'll realize that most people on the left have and always believed in censorship.
These companies are not individuals or a person, therefore they cannot be "granted" the first amendment privileges.
SO ACCORDING TO THIS CRACKHEAD JUDGE THE PHONE COMPANY CAN CUT OFF YR PHONE FOR SENDING TEXT OR EMAILS THEY DONT LIKE
I know you don't like money in politics most of which went to Democrats. I wish I could post some graphs of how much silicon valley/social media gave to Biden. I'm sure they probably cut the 11th Circuit Court some funds too
1984
The current version of the left isn’t left. The democrats overtook the republicans as the party of the rich in like 2012. The are now just anti populist elitist shits who think everyone is beneath them. Anna Kasparian’s “yes I’m better than you,” rant is the typical attitude of the Democratic Party.
Desantis signed that bill last year. He will take it to the supreme court
Hopefully the courts will finally get off their butts and rule that the first amendment of the constitution is "unconstitutional" as well. That will be a happy day and then we can look forward to the courts making the entire constitution illegal too. Once we get rid of all our freedoms and rights and make the US a proper dictatorship, then life will be good. Come on courts, we're counting on you! ROFL
Why are you so backward.
The right is less government and rule s
The left is pro government more rule and authoritarian.
Its always been that way. That's why the left perverts language.
Get your history straight.
Course the right fights for freedom.
The left has always been authoritarian. Kkk andrew jackson. Breaking up black families Vietnam Afghanistan. Obama clinton. LBJ AND the worst of them all. The wire rim glasses guy from the 20s
Wilson. The absolute worst authoritarian ever. If he were reincarnated he'd cry finding out Hitler lost. That's not a joke he held all the same beliefs.
