Many Americans, of all political leanings, do not want censorship. Trump is merely shining a bright light on the bias of Twitter.



We don't know what he's doing yet.

But I don't think he needs an executive order to "shine a bright light" on anything.

If it turns out that he's interfering with the operation of the social media companies, I agree with David. Those are private companies, they can do what they want, filter any content they want, censor anything they want.

There's a free market and someone with the capital and know-how could make an absolute mint by simply offering a conservative alternative to what's out there right now. That's the solution to this.

These companies operate under a set of rules laid out by the FCC and Congress.

If they aren’t following those rules, the FCC can change their interpretations.


As mentioned above, they are playing both sides on this by trying to be a publisher when it suits them and a platform when it suits them on other matters. The center cannot hold.
