Yep, nationalize everything that's essential or at least offer a nationalized alternative and let the private sector try to compete.

Good news everyone, the US has control over EU agencies now!

I think you're misunderstanding the use of the term "public" here.

A mall is a public space in the sense that people can go, but it's not a public space in the sense that it's not operated by the government, it's a private space.

I'm using the term public space in the governmental sense, not in the publically accessible sense. If you use that definition of public I'm pretty sure even in your country you can get censored and kicked out of a mall and moved off its surrounding property (the parking around it), because it's privately owned. Once on the sidewalk you're on public property though so you can do whatever you want as long as it respects the law.

Also, talking about Europe as a whole is wrong since different countries can still have different rules on the subject.

See the US section, the use of the term "public space" in this conversation is acceptable as the term "public" is used in opposition to privately owned and not public in the sense that it's open to the public like a mall is.

The government cannot usually limit one's speech beyond what is reasonable in a public space, which is considered to be a public forum (that is, screaming epithets at passers-by can be stopped; proselytizing one's religion probably cannot).

I'm talking about the users commenting on Helldivers patch notes. Just like with Starship Troopers, people on the right see Helldivers as inspiring when the real message behind the media is anti fascism.

Try to follow the conversation, that should have been very clear considering the comment I was replying to.

No it's not a public space.

Public space would be a place like a national park or the sidewalk. These forums are owned and operated by a private company, they're private spaces and can be moderated however the company sees fit. Same thing for Twitter or Facebook or Lemmy.

A senator has the right to tell them that they need to do a better job at moderating their platform if there's reasons to believe they're letting people threaten violence or incite criminal activity.

Most commonly, yes, just frites. Was just saying that pommes frites wasn't exactly right

So? He doesn't have to protect free speech on a private platform

Never heard of kids committing suicide due to being bullied?

First amendment is for public spaces, a forum owned by a private company isn't a public space.

Right wing and not understanding second degree, name a more iconic duo

Edit: Lemmy users and not understanding who people are talking about, name a more iconic duo! I'm talking about the right wing Steam users commenting on the patch notes.

French fries as in they came from the French part of Belgium, maybe?
