The only credible way forward is to classify social media companies that edits posts, censors posts and fact checks posts as publishers, not neutral platforms.

They can't have it both ways.

So would it be okay if Trump would discriminate against a guest at one of his hotels based upon race, sex, sexual preference or political view



That’s illegal except for the political view part,if he wants to ban democrats from staying there you think he shouldn’t be allowed to?

I support companies acknowledging what they are.

Mother jones has zero credibility because people know what it is. I welcome a world wherein twitter is viewed in similar capacity.

Platform or publisher. Pick one. You can't eat your cake and have it as well.

Sure since it’s his property and you’re paying him for the chance to use it. My house my rules. Your house your rules.

Trump has a libel suit against Twitter? What’s the basis?


I can't tell if you're dumb or just playing dumb. I don't think it matters; you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

And y’all support that? It will increase censorship, not decrease it


Twitter censors the shite out of things already. I imagine FB does as well.

Who would like to represent me in my lawsuit against Chicken for my bannings here?

Y’all are missing the forest for the trees here. This will lead to more censorship, not less.

They are literally injecting their own content into other people's posts, that's a publisher. They are publishing content.

He still needs to switch over to Gab. frick twitter.


Gab and other similar companies are not serious competitors to Twitter.

Public square social media is a winner-take-all market, and Twitter won it years, even a decade ago.

Competing with Twitter is futile. The only way to get Twitter and other similar social media to behave and think twice about abusing their monopoly power is to regulate it.

Yes, he’s definitely fighting for you and has nothing to do with a temper tantrum he’s throwing because Twitter put a fact check on one of his tweets


You mean this guy and his department put the "unbiased fact check" to his tweet:

Allege you were banned for being a liberal shite and you’ll have a case. I suspect when push came to shove, you’d lose.

Or I’m going to call you a bona fide cocksucker and Chicken better delete it or open himself up to liability for facilitating its posting.

As does spotify, as does web hosting companies like Go Daddy, as does twitch, as does reddit (blatant) , as does pretty much every forum or provider of information. They also seem to only target conservatives. It would be funny if it werent so fricked up.

No, that would be the start of political persecution which isn’t what this country is founded on.
