A few years back, a cake making private business got closed down and taken to court for not making a gay cake for a couple.

(OP) User ID: 78176490 United States01/09/2021 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do they utilize publicly owned services like electricity, net backbone fiber optic cables etc to run their inter web companies though? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78860366 Who owns that? How is that different than a brick and mortar store or business website? “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Even private businesses can be government regulated once their impact on the public discourse becomes a monopoly similar to telephone companies. Can AT&T deny service if they don't like what your going to talk about on the telephone? |

This isn’t about “free speech” or the Donald. This is a much deeper level of control. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.
