Not a Legal Question?

Question

I have been banned from a couple websites because of my political views its ok for the other members to Bash Hillary all they want, but because I have a negative view of Bush I get banned, Its a public forum that has topics for these issues but if your not in-line with the mainstream then some members go behind your back to get the moderators to ban you from the board. What do i do?

Answer

Unfortunately the law allows anyone to moderate their web site as they see fit. If the government was trying to restrain your speech that would be illegal. Since it is private entities doing it, you have no First Amendment protection...
