Who decides what companies have abused their platform?
I would think that there are Anti-trust Courts today who undertake the task of determining 'abuse', TX; but I reckon that Lincoln just made the call Himself.
The evidence is obvious that these Companies hold a Leftist partisan bias and censor/manipulate their Platform accordingly, to undoubtedly affect electoral numbers. At the least, such should be considered Campaign Donations, and regulated as such.
There is a point wherein the MSM screaming fire in a crowded theater...or screaming "Nazi, liar, traitor,...", etc. toward an Ideologically opposite POTUS, and reporting 24/7 fallacious and malicious lies/half truths to back up their claims and whip up dangerous passion in the simple-minded/cognitively dissonant becomes too harmful to tolerate. Not that we can't, but we are sure to experience the hurtful consequence therein in due time.

Ohhh Please!! What kind of crap justification is that?? Media has been taking stances since the printing press was invented.
I can't believe you people support the government of the day going after private citizens for political speech. When the dems get back in power do you want them auditing your tax return every year because you posted disparaging remarks on tigerdroppings??

Really, where were these people when Clinton strong armed Microsoft over IE being bundled in Windows with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act?

I voted for Trump---gives me the standing to call BS on his policies I disagree with.
When he introduces the national health insurance he once supported are you going to be for it too?

And here it is in plain view -- whether it's your willful ignorance or you lack the capacity to see the bias in MSM it really doesn't matter. The bottom line is you cannot distinguish between fact and opinion. Worse yet, you can't see the obvious slant supplied by the MSM propagandists. You are complicit in the deception -- knowingly or not you believe that tripe.
Where are the concentration camps we were told Trump would bring? Where are we rounding up the gays to re-educate them? Why haven't we exterminated all people of color yet?
Open your eyes. It's all bullshite.
edit: spelling

I HATED Clinton for that.
Friggin Al Gore got him a board seat and stock options from Apple out of that.
It sucked then and it is very disappointing someone I voted for is doing the same crap.

Are you under the impression antitrust laws make a distinction between private companies and public companies as you've tried to distinguish above?

The People are going to act according to what they believe, bd. I really have no control over that, other than the petty affect that my words might have, so I don't care what people think and do. I do much care about my 4 year old great granddaughter; and as such, feel responsible to speak toward issues.
I guess you were fine with the whole Kavanagh debacle; overt lies with zero corroboration is not a healthy model for civil society to pick their Leaders. Neither is the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that the MSM espouses 24/7.
Book it, we won't have to "move to Turkey" if this crap keeps up. It'll come here, as the streets explode and the cries for security/justice overcome the institutions of Freedom.

They broke up Bell Telephone years ago..time to break up Google they are a monopoly.

You understand the difference in the Bell company and Google don't you??? Gawd you people are just out to punish people that you think are liberal.
Nobody, NOBODY, has to spend a cent with Google. Google is in the advertising business and the cloud business. They compete with AMZN, MSFT, APPL, FACE, and a hundred thousand other sellers of advertising.

We nuked Japan, IB...and firebombed Dresden/Germany. Women and children...no quarter.
I realize that it's a slippery slope, but the Dems have already shown what they are capable of. Obama "wiretapped" Trump, Hillary and half the dam IC were fine with it. And so it Google, et al.
So, just how far do we go before we get honest, and live by Rule of Law...EQUAL JUSTICE, or pay the price for (one side) abandoning it, and the other side being forced to respond in kind.
I fear it's gone too far to roll back. Levin said that we are already living in a "post-Constitutional America"...sadly I think He's right.
