Ted Cruz bent the knee to Trump and sucked the dick of the most pro-censorship regime in the history of the United States. He’s completely unqualified to fight censorship, and I wouldn’t trust a single thing that came out of that piece of shits mouth.

He doesn’t mean a single thing he says, so why would anyone trust him? https://idonotlikethatmantedcruz.com/

Ron Widen is cool, he was in favor of title 2 net neutrality, he’s against NSA spying and from what I understand he realizes that age verification is a cybersecurity risk to everyone

He also supports israel and as soon as last summer voted to send another shipment of assault rifles to Israeal that they have been handing out to settlers in the west bank.
Wyden is not that good.

Ron Wyden co-authored Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996, which protects internet platforms from being held liable for user-generated content. It’s a big reason that the internet exploded in popularity. We may need to revisit and increase regulation since seeing what social media became, but he’s had a pretty great track record.

Section 230 is an absolutely vital regulation that allows the internet to be free, getting rid of it would be horrible

Nah he’s the senator who could be murdered at work and the senate wouldn’t convict the killer

Dont worry, he came back the day after his sloth and cowardess became an international news story and handed out bottled water from a pickup truck, instead of coordinating with the state/fed/volunteer orgs to actually help people.
Those dozens of bottle of water surely fixed everything.

Are we sure? Has anyone actually checked to make sure he isn’t a lizardman from inside the hollow Earth, all dressed up in a rubber human suit? I mean, sure, he isn’t an LLM, but there are so many other possibilities!

Like most Shakespeare villains, Ted Cruz has a single redeeming quality. And it’s that he both understands and vehemently supports free speech.
- KingKong33@lemmy.mlEnglish8 hours
Then why does he support the most pro censorship regime in US history? He doesn’t support free speech. He supports fascist speech. He’s an American traitor, along with the rest of that regime.

If he’s working with Ron Widen it means Ted Cruz has the correct position on free speech.
Do you have any idea how many people on the internet make fun of Ted Cruz? Have you ever heard him say those people should be banned or censored?
7 hoursRaphael Cruz has a very obvious shame and humiliation kink, why would he complain? He gets to use the public to get his rocks.

I guess a broken clock and all that.
Iirc he was also against the bullshit PMTA process the FDA shoved on the vaping industry (the process is responsible for the popularity of disposables).

it’s better to find common ground with your peers and then to work with them to make life better for everyone.
If Ted Cruz is in favor of free speech, so you can work with him on free speech issues to help everyone of all colors and creeds
And he really is in favor of free speech. He’s never tried to shut down any of his critics. People send him all kinds of nasty things on twitter and he doesn’t even block any of them.
Why would he block it, he gets off on it. He’s got this same little grin every time he’s confronted about an awful thing he did.
You mean the senator in the state that puts destructive as shit data centres wherever and is helping palantir? Yeah he’s super anti censorship.

I’m struggling to figure out Cruz’s angle on this. I know he is a giant POS with zero redeeming qualities so something is up here.
- Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldEnglish10 hours
He never intended for it to pass. He just wants to be able to say that he was on the popular side of an issue. Don’t forget, he wants to be president more than anything in the world, so everything he does is about the next presidential election.

its about uncensoring hate speech im sure, so they can go on tv and spew their vitriol and sue if their hate vomit isn’t aired or aired in full or some shit. they want to be able to go on the news and openly call for killing brown people and trans people. its obvious nazi shit. tolerate the intolerable under the guise of “free speech”.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz
That’s why this news gets me confused
Because I’m used to rarely see
Him on the right side of history.
And so, in spite of this new stunt
That man Ted Cruz may still be a cunt.A cunt, you say? I disagree
And before you hold your breath
Let me be clear; I’m saying he
Lacks the warmth and depth
- IratePirate@feddit.orgEnglish3 hours
A cunt, I see, he may not be
But what, I ask, could then be he?
He’s soft, so he can’t be a dick,
Not sociable, hence he’s no pig,
No fucker (I don’t know - does he?)
No arse - he lacks utility.
There’s no good name, but don’t you fret -
For now let us just call him Ted.Ted Cancun Cruz, the zodiac’s son
When calling him names, why limit to one?
Even insult his wife and lyin Ted
Will come to your defense instead!
He gets off on you telling him go to hell,
Always point out his real name’s Raphael
Everyone hates him as is often said
But as for me I just call him fuckhead.

Maybe he’s trying to win conservative brownie points by fighting the ‘Biden vaccine agenda’. He’d really be kicking a dead horse with that but…please clap
