I just did a review about how most of Isaac's clothing was made in Vietnam.  I was fine with that.  I just got a sweater of his made in China so I did a review that I sent it back.   I was always a very heavy buyer of Isaac.   I said if he was changing to China I wasn't buying anymore.  They would not post my review twice.  Now I see that Community is leaving.  Apparently QVC is jumping on the nonfree speech  bandwagon.   I intend on writing letters to the top executives.   I am also finished watching QVC for now.  There are many other options that aren't as expensive.   No more free speech it's being chipped away everywhere.

I see eye to eye with these remarks with one exception. In my opinion,what is happening with qvc, the prices, the ending of these forums, the country of manufacture, etc., has nothing to do with free speech.

The review did not meet the standards.  That has always been the case.  Not about free speech.

@misschristy   Your pseudo review was a political rant, not a real assessment of the product.

It seems that the Community Standards are only for some to abide by.

The First Amendment has nothing to do with political opinions on a private website

misschristy....

 

 

QVC is a PRIVATE COMPANY that can decide what they will allow to be posted on thier boards and reviews.

 

Free Speech has NOTHING to do with it.

 

For instance,if one is still working, go in to your boss and free speech him about how you feel about him and the company.

 

See you on the unemployment line.

 

"CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

 

Note the First Amendment does NOT start with "QVC" ( or any other private business).

 

QVC can poof THIS post if they want to. It's THIER BUSINESS MODEL.
