Twitter Censoring the President

How much fascism are you willing to tolerate?

I object to Twitter by not using Twitter.

Same as I object to Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon and any other soulless corporation I chose to not do business with. I still don't understand why Trump just doesn't go to another platform, it's not like his actual followers wouldn't go. I think part of it is he likes to play the vic and rile people up.

I hate it when you act dumb.

Russian collusion is not relative to Free Speech.

Twitter is not a news organization so it can't use Section 230 and also publish or edit the news.

Trump's tweets aren't news, they're his personal opinion and if a private platform doesn't want them on there it's not his call.

Bull#e. Everything he does or says is news.

It's really not.

No, it like, totally is. Imagine if Trump burp-talked your name? It would be front page news everywhere. For realz.

But saying Trump colluded with the Russians is.

Totally. That's what I'm getting at. But damn, that would be hilarious. I wouldn't put it past him.

If Trump thinks he was defamed he can bring evidence and sue in court.

Magic wins that you only find in fairy-tales. Life isn't a movie and people don't magically erase 700,000 vote leads, especially in elections, which are dealing with probabilities on par with the lottery, asteroid strikes, super volcanic eruptions. If Biden won, then Yellowstone is erupting soon.

Can you point me to a law that says a private company cannot censor the president?

Did you hear about something called freedom of speech??

Can you tell me the real reason they did it?

I guarantee that if Trump was posting on ATS, a bunch of his posts would be removed, without the benefit of being able to click on a warning notice and then read his posts. I'd bet that if Trump was posting on ATS, he'd be banned by now.

Ooooo, I like how this is now about the voter fraud and not the Twitter.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

One in the same. Nothing like a little election interference to go with your election fraud ya know? Why not make it a coup bargain sale!

a reply to: av8r007

Right. Maybe get some Q in here too.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

In fact, I made the same argument. Trump should have ditched twitter, instead he made them rich. Republicans could have leaned on section 230 well ahead of this when Dr. Robert Epstein warned us all that google was swinging millions of votes deliberately by selectively censoring content.

95 percent of internet traffic routes through Google. Where's the choice in that?

The people most affected by this did the least to stop it.

The truth is that among the left and the right fascism is extremely popular.

You are right about that, but it is difficult to go up against FaceBook and Twitter because you tend to need their platform to actually have a meaningful impact on the masses. They got this con going pretty good. It's a pretty nice scam if you're in on it, but this is the USA and we don't play that game, this is going to get fixed you cannot force a divided nation under a leader it's not going to happen.

Not aware of that. You have a link I can take a look at, I'd like t read more about this.

They also own youtube which has the lions share of video traffic and the largest video search engine on the internet.

Google also owns the android platform which exists on the majority of phones. The majority of mobile traffic is controlled by Google, and the majority of mobile enabled sites, ads and marketing, are also owned by Google.

Google has the power to kill any site it wants to kill. Just ask ATS.

Edit:

Here's Dr. Robert Epstein's article on the matter:

A lot of these tech companies are going to be in for it when the propaganda dollars run out and the user base dries up.

It will just move to a different platform.

I will say, I have enjoyed Twitter in that the stuff posted there has almost always been ahead of other platforms.

I could have sworn that only protects us from being silenced by the government.

Can you point out somewhere that says freedom of speech applies to private businesses?

People like you are the reason people like the OP hate the left.

It's not the point of being a private company. Its the suppression of information.

It's not just the president, its regular people too.

But let Jack dig his own grave.

It actually IS the point of being a private company.

I won’t take credit for making people hate left-leaning citizens, but I’m all for people hating the DNC/left-wing politicians. If I keep at it, hopefully I can get them to hate the RNC/right-leaning politicians too, like the good libertarian I am.

Ya’ll Trumpants got the equivalent of deer fever, except it’s with lefties. You think everything around you is a leftist and start firing off in every direction. Go have some apple juice or a nice glass of milk, wash the tears off your face, maybe change into your jammy jams for the night. Poppa Trump will be making his rounds to talk ya’ll in soon.
