CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
When providing a public platform, especially one which is known to have a significant political influence, it is essential that such a medium is responsibly well balanced and offers the partisans and disciples of all shades of political and religious opinion equal opportunity to express their views.
If the controlling body of any giant and powerful social medium is politically biased towards one particular political ideology then this partiality should be openly declared along with an honest proclamation that opposing views will either be misleadingly revised to show favor towards the editor's opinion, or denied publication altogether.
Whilst many will object to any dominant medium having prejudiced political preferences this type of open and honest transparency will be respected, or at least should be respected by all reasonable people and let everyone know where they stand.
Such professional conduct represents the acceptable face of capitalist free enterprise.
Any form of concealed propaganda is usually in the domain of, and bears all the hallmarks of the leftist woks.

Hello N:
Of course it should. The question is, will it, without being forced?
I am unaware of the existence of any legislation requiring all media publications or public discussion platforms to offer equality of opportunity to all currents of opinion.
Until such laws come into existence we must rely on the integrity and fair mindedness of the management of such organizations.
Clearly, at this moment in time these ''best business practices'' do not exist in the radical leftist mediums of Face Book and Twitter.
I'm all for free enterprise. What should pop into your brain is that your party wants to censor anyone who disagrees with them. The right doesn't want or need you censored. When your ideas make sense & can easily be defended, & you aren't a raging control freak, you don't need to censor anyone. Totalitarians & people with indefensable ideas need to censor others.
if Twitter was my property, I'm the guy, the ONLY guy, who decides what speech goes on my property and what doesn't.
ABC is private property owned by someone. They are still subject to laws concerning politics, in kind campaign contributions, and equal time given to candidates. If CNN or Fox News gives time to Donald Trump or Joe Biden, they are required by law to do the same for the other candidate. Twitter has blocked comments and even accounts of politicians during elections which clearly violates this statute.
"The equal-time rule specifies that American radio and media must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. This means, for example, that if a station gives a given amount of time to a candidate in prime time, it must do the same for another candidate who requests it, at the same price if applicable."

Hello again, T:
The problem with your argument is that my property is NOT "radio" or "media". It's a website. Consequently, and pursuant to the law, the equal time rule does NOT apply.
Now, congress CAN do something about that and probably WILL.. But, until then, my property is my property and government can't run my property..
(usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, magazines, and the internet, that reach or influence people widely:
Twitter calls itself media, not me. Twitter decides what media is and is not on their platform and sells political ad space, which makes them a publisher just like a newspaper. When the platform is officially sold, you will pivot to that exact argument, but I will ignore you, holding you to your prior principal. If the left had lost Twitter and didn't make a peep, I'd be fine with your resolution. Where the left loses me is that they took your position for years, Musk bought Twitter, and now they claim Twitter is a threat to free speech, and billionaires should not have this much power, etc. Nah. It's a private company. Fu*k em.
Ok, I'll close with my other meme, Jewish Warrior.. It's closer to the truth anyway.. After all, I AM a truly dangerous fellow, TRAINED in the art of warfare by the US Government, and I'm a Jew..
So, bite me.
excon, Jewish Warrior
PS: Hmmm.. Come to think of it, those are the two things, that WITHOUT any proof whatsoever, you say I'm lying about.
Talk about insane..
PPS: Ok, Here's another one that'll make your head explode.. I'm ALSO a licensed pilot. Hee, hee, ha ha ha ha.
PPPS: Why are you so intimidated by other peoples accomplishments?? Is it because you have none of your own, and expect other people to be losers like you??
Excon, no one on this forum (including me) believes anything that you say. in order to be a pilot you must be judged as mentally stable. You call yourself the "Jewish Prince", what SANE person would claim that?!? The truth is that you're just an internet TROLL that most likely still lives in his mothers basement.
Yes. I can be walking in your yard or be in your car and call you anything I want. Are you planning to kill the next person who practices free speech in your vehicle or something?
Excon, of course you are free to blabber your worthless, rambling, nonsense. No one here is arguing that (especially on this website) that does not have a moderator.
Yo are a TROLL simply by the fact that you have NEVER offered anything constructive or thought provoking. Your only game around here is to irritate people and dodge legitimate debate. The fact that you've posted 16,765 times is further OUTRIGHT PROOF that you are a complete and utter LOSER.
You are a trolling hypocrite. I saw you slandering me and you know what? Sooner or later, you will be caught and you will be convicted. You deserve nothing less. I am with Developing here. He is right.
