No where does that source say Biden tried to shut down the Internet. The closest is this part

Donald Trump publicly advocated that “in some places” we have to talk about “closing up the Internet.” He got his wish, but it came after him personally following his election in 2016. The very free speech about which he made fun turned out to be rather important to him and his cause.

Also I can't take a site seriously when one of their sources they link to is the Twitter user "End Wokeness"

There are some parts I agree with, but there's plenty there that's right wing dog whistles for "I want to say hateful things and have no consequences" free speech

Yeah they do, I'm just pointing out that the law doesn't say a business has to. Sorry, being pedantic

The people getting up in arms are upset because they see it as a slippery slope. First just the idiots pay for subscriptions, then it creeps into the lives of everyone. And eventually it's harder to avoid the bullshit than just pay, and the whole market becomes more predatory. Like if the idiots give companies an inch, they'll eventually take a mile

Sadly I think they're legally allowed to not serve gay people in certain states. The minimum is just hiring gay people :(

Yeah, probably wrong. There's not a bunch of third party info on the environmental impact this factory will have, and no evidence anyone was bribed. If it makes you feel better, this isn't their first factory and I couldn't find any negative news about that factory either. Community leaders were supportive though, and a bunch of jobs were created.

I did find some articles about the positive environmental impact sodium batteries have from production, to relative ease of recycling, if that makes you feel better.

I can think of an America specific reason to not block all communication with the outside world in a school. Even if every room has a wired landline that worked and was accessible to students and teachers

We don't need evenly distributed emotions! They'll just trickle down from the most emotional to the rest of us

Nope, wife works at a hospital and they don't have a paper backup of everything. They were affected by the outage and it was apparently a pretty tough night.

They can still work, but there obviously will be a serious delay switching to paper everything. You might want to look into the legislation that you're thinking of to see what it specifically says.

And I'm pretty sure there are ways to prevent what happened that have nothing to do with having medical professionals chart everything on both a computer and on paper. That just sounds really inefficient.

Blatantly false title. Please don't exaggerate and add inflammatory commentary that's misleading, it detracts from the conversation.

Omg I can practically see it, incredible

Checking their comment history, Natolover is just a down vote troll. No use relying, although that is a nice map

You may disagree, but it is a pretty widely agreed upon distinction. It's a symptom of the issue of a fractured left wing. The left leaning communists wanted to distinguish themselves from the left leaning capitalists, so they started calling themselves leftists and not liberals.

It's just a bunch of different labels, it's not really set in stone or definitive. I totally understand why you disagree.

My point really was just that a conservative calling someone a communist isn't insulting to a lot of self described leftists because they are communist, it's mostly just considered an insult to a conservative. Kinda like calling an alt right person a Nazi is an insult from a leftist, but plenty of alt righties wouldn't be insulted because they are (jk but not really but jk)
