WOW! After months of censoring Tweets from President Trump.

Twitter's @jack could not name another world leader who they have also censored.

Dorsey added that Holocaust denial is not considered misinformation and does not violate the platform's policies.

Dorsey is a fricking clown.

FCC needs to do their job and label these big tech companies as publishers.

They’re looking Congress in the eye and daring them to do something.

Just as Obama said "elections have consequences" he also said "I've got a pen to take executive actions where Congress won't, and I've got a telephone to rally folks around the country on this mission."

Its time for Trump to use his pen and phone...

I’m confused about how denying the Holocaust is just “misinformation” and how was he not crushed on that by the senators? The biggest problem about all of this is that it’s subjective to the platforms own views.

Dorsey is a fricking clown.

Dorsey claims they have a policy on not circulating tweets that contained unsubstantiated or information obtained dubiously or illegally. So that is why they censored the Hunter story. Yet the allowed the Trump tax returns story to be tweeted and re-tweeted.

All misleading information is equal but some misleading information is more equal than others.

It’s as simple as this ——if you edit writings, then you are a publisher. Censorship is a form of editing content.

Wrong question to ask...."why is the Ayatollah allowed to say DEATH TO AMERICA when others are locked from accounts for doing so"?

Not gonna happen. Big Tech's donations to each and every Congress Person and their staff would end. Money talks and Congress obeys their commands.

Cruz hit him pretty hard in re them not censoring tweets related to Trump's tax returns. Cruz asked Jack if he realized the dissemination of Trump's tax returns without his consent was a federal crime? Jack had no response. This was right after he said them censoring investigative journalism regarding Hunter/Joe Biden was different than the what was being done to Trump.

This whole thing is just annoying. I think we all know nothing will ever come from this and certainly nothing will change before the election, so what they're doing to suppress information and ultimately the vote is going to go unchecked. Not to mention, the Democrats call anything that brings to light voter suppression, censorship, or Joe Biden criticism a distraction from the election. No, asshats, it has everything to do with the very election coming up and trying to censor, wipe, and ignore anything that isn't a benefit to Biden's election bid.

They are no longer platforms when information is subject to their views as to whether or not it is allowed... They have now stepped into the world of publishing...

Certainly, they can have rules as a platform... IE no nudity, no cursing, even no political discussion but it cannot be a simply "I do not like that"...
