@doodlingdoo @atrupar CNN and MSNBC (like Fox News) are cable news networks and are not governed by the same constraints as the broadcast networks that were given free spectrum by the US government��� 😉
@FillmoreWhite @Gz4Galvinize @KevinFarzad I could care less about HFs. Capital markets either function or they don't. If people lose confidence that they work properly, it will reduce participation more broadly and reduce capital availability. Anyway, I'm probably not going to change your mind, so have a great day.
@FillmoreWhite @Gz4Galvinize @KevinFarzad I have seen people posting today about similarly withdrawing money from banks en masse, without any idea what that would actually do to the financial system. What happens when they can’t get a mortgage or a small business loan? People are playing with fire. /3
@FillmoreWhite @Gz4Galvinize @KevinFarzad I don’t expect you to have sympathy for anyone. But as a teacher, I’d have thought you would see the value of a rationally functioning capital market where stocks trade on the basis of earnings potential, growth and relative value, not Reddit hype. 1/
@FillmoreWhite @Gz4Galvinize @KevinFarzad If shorts have to liquidate long positions in other stocks to buy back GME or AMC, then the value of those other stocks will go down*. This will hurt other people who own those same stocks, regardless of where they are held.
*May not be enough volume to move market though.
@HawleyMO@simonschuster You realize that the repeal of Section 230 protection being ranted about by you and Trump would force Twitter to do exactly what they are now doing by making it liable for what is published on its platform by its users. Did they teach law at Yale Law School?
@BE_efficiency @DemocratMiddle @SecretaryCarson@jack Also, the potential repeal of Section 230 protection essentially forces
Twitter to do exactly this, as it would make social media “platforms” responsible and liable for what is published by users. Things like inciting mob violence and insurrection.
@BE_efficiency @DemocratMiddle @SecretaryCarson@jack 3 networks and papers like the NYT had far greater share of voice 50 years ago than Twitter does today. Last I checked, the Constitution hasn’t changed since then. Did the 1st Amend grant every citizen the right to publish an op-ed in the NYT or spout nonsense on CBS?
@RealBenCarson The potential repeal of Section 230 protection essentially forces @jack to do exactly this, as it would make social media “platforms” responsible and liable for what is published by users. See the irony there... And all this time, I thought you were a brain surgeon.
@BE_efficiency @DemocratMiddle @SecretaryCarson@jack So doesn’t @jack have the right to choose? I think people should be able to say whatever they want no matter how offensive, but you don’t have to allow them into your place of business to do so, nor do you have to hand them a megaphone just because you invent one.
