LINK

In the spirit of cooperation, and keeping peace, the link is about the President stating his admin will look into censorship on social media.

Blind Links are bullshite. Don’t do that. Make a proper title and put the content in the OP

It’s Trump saying he’s going to go after the big social media sites for censorship of conservatives

Blind link or not, Trump is right (again) social media needs to be uncensored.

Michelle Malkin is great. Got to see her speak in DC back in 2012. Haven't heard much from her recently, thanks for posting.

BS with your blind link phobia, just because someone puts some words to name a link then it's safe? All links are blind until you click on them. Mouse over and see if the path looks safe, if you think it does then click it, if not move along.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google. The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation. Stay tuned, and send names & events. Thank you Michelle!

His majesty should post his nonsensical drivel on his own websites if he doesn’t like the current alternatives.

They should be able to operate their companies and sites however they want without the federal govt “uncensoring” them. What a joke.

My understanding is they enjoy certain liability indemnities by being legally defined as platforms, and the question is how much content curation can you perform under that definition.

No having and eating the cake you know.

Totally inconsiderate to post a blind link - and for people to defend doing so because it is so easy to "hover' and see the name of the link is worse than that.

IF you are going to make a post - put something in the OP that describes what you are talking about and then post a link for those who are interested in finding out more about it.

Blind links are always bullshite. And when the thread title is not informative it is even worse.

BTW, to anyone who doesnt know, Fuentes and his AF/Groyper movement fricking despise Israel.

Im making absolutely zero assessments or judgments of their platform. Just pointing out the background. Malkin was destroyed for even associating with the kid.

Hes a very polarizing person, and not in the way that Ben Shapiro is. Hes more Gavin McInnes with more underlying heat and less focus on laughs.

You know how sometimes a thread on this board gets a little off-color and dark even though you actually agree with the basic principles being espoused? Hes a physical embodiment of those threads, and perhaps more intelligent and eloquent.


So the President retweeting his organization is.....interesting. This would seem to be Trump just retweeting stuff from the shitter lol, which im totally cool with.

Yep, they made the argument that they cannot be held responsible for user provided content as it is impossible for them to monitor and remove "illegal" content.

Meanwhile, they have shown they are very capable of removing any content they find offensive to their political leanings.

THey need these protections removed.
