WHAT DID CNN DO WRONG UNDER AMERICAN LAW, "CONS?"

I have an idea. Multinational corporations which have access to billions in anonymous dollars should be treated differently than the endeavors of real human beings. Corporations have no free speech rights under our laws - only privileges.Silverfox » 20 Jan 2017 7:25 pm » wrote:The truth is that the days of being able to demand that "the media" communicates information based on verifiable (and verified) facts is past - and it's an issue.
As technologies converge, start-ups are cheap and easy to initiate and massive audiences are only a click (or a viral post) away, who should be regulated, and by who?
At what point does an organisation become "mass media"? Is it a certain number of employees? A certain "readership"/audience? A newspaper or a cable company is easily identifiable, but what about a group of 6 people working in someone's basement? One person? Where does the line get drawn?
What about media created by the public? Facebook? Twitter?
Do we look at the channels and regulate those to the point that we place impossible demands on new companies? Could Facebook verify every post or share? Not realistically.
So we are left with us, the recipients. We could make it easier to sue, I guess - at least make the publication of lies about us constitute libel/slander (without having to show malicious intent as well - which may encourage at least a modicum of verification).
It isn't enough. We're ****. Unless someone has a plan that doesn't gut free speech.
There is lawlessness in the land, and that lawlessness has lied aganst our founding documents, pretending that corporation are people. My stalker ***, huey, has defended that notion, while demanding we pretend he wasn't. He's a real squirrely bathroom boy, that one.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
