Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Social Media Committee? Msg# 1156781

The issue raised and my response was first amendment rights. Most people have no idea what they are.
Sherrie can control her Facebook page, but ultimately Facebook controls all. How can OPA censor anything not controlled by OPA? In a later post she admitted OPA could not. As for OPA controlling it’s news dissemination, it could probably start a newspaper and sell more ads than anything distributed here. Not likely, but nothing OPA can do will prevent independent journalists from writing whatever they choose. On paper or online. I’ll predict the board does nothing. Catching mosquitoes with a crab net. Congress can’t abridge freedom of speech, but Facebook can, on Facebook. Amendment ICongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: While you must follow Facebook rules to post they don't censor opinions. What Sherrie is proposing is for OPA to censor opinions on pages which follow the rules of Facebook but contain opinions the board or some committee don't like. Sherrie can certainly choose to censor her own page but neither she or OPA can censor comments on other FB pages...or have those pages removed. |
