You could cite so many examples of their politically driven bullshite, it would blow them all to kingdom come.

The inconsistent and completely partisan application of their endlessly malleable TOS is fricking unavoidable. The Ayatollah can spread murderous, anti-Semitic hate all over Twitter, but Trump gets permabanned over something democrats acquitted him of?

But keep cheering for shite like this.

Do you believe a California company has the right to discriminate based upon political affiliation?

That has nothing to do with the fact that Twitter, Facebook, Google and Youtube overtly censor political speech and suppress accurate and factual journalism to protect their favored political voices under the false protection of section 230.

All conspiracies aside,this is a case wherein Trump and others actually have a good case if argued correctly. I would also bring in the Great Barrington guys and other scientists that were silenced by youtube, et al for offering up alternative ideas.

I think Trump can be more effective out of office than a president.

One big reason why this has a chance to be true is because his liberal son in law and liberal daughter are no longer around putting stupid ideas in his head and running off legit MAGA types like they spent 4 years in the West Wing doing.

Jared and Ivanka has convinced me of the need to expand nepotism laws to cover staff in the White House that does not need senate confirmation.

Only problem is they still have their Section 230 protection.



The legislation doesn't mention any companies. It mentions platforms, which these companies are not.

the need to expand nepotism laws


Completely agree 100. As much as I like Donald and think of him as a true patriot, this level of NPD and vanity to put his daughter and SIL as high level staffers was utter stupidity. There was more to lose than gain from that kind of decision.

We implemented nepotism laws as a measure against grift and corruption in response to JFK hiring his brother to be Attorney General.

But we need to expand it to WH staff members as a measure to protect the President from taking bad advice from his family, family who is un-fireable and has an unfair influence advantage over the President compared to the rest of the West Wing who are not related to the President.

Like also putting them in charge of the Trump reelection campaign where they prioritized a mythical BLEXIT that was never going to happen and ignored the white working class in the rust belt and proceeded to see Trump do worse with white men than he did in 2016.

Jared and Ivanka were completely tone deaf as to why Trump won in 2016 in the first place.

You have reading comp problems. I never said they did not do the above, only that Trump wasn't completely barred from speaking "candidly" to the public...there are other outlets.

I see his blog comments and other mutterings from the other social media sites posted here...seems to be working to some degree since we are getting his "candid" thoughts.
