Twitter is doing everything it can to interfere in the election and help Joe Biden and the Democrats win in two weeks. The social media company was caught red-handed on Wednesday running interference on Republican fundraising efforts but not similar fundraising efforts on behalf of Democratic politicians.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is calling out Twitter for restricting the retweets of WinRed, the GOP's fundraising platform. WinRed is the Republican alternative to the Democrats' fundraising platform, ActBlue. Twitter is running interference on retweets of WinRed's links to donate to Republican candidates but not links by ActBlue to donate to Democrats.

Twitter is not a platform.

Twitter is a publisher.

I’ve lost all faith that anything will come of this.

Mainly because everyone here who hates Twitter and Facebook continues to log into Twitter and Facebook and share links and content and flow traffic to Twitter and Facebook

I'm sure Jack will say he'll look into this and apologize for this and we'll be hearing about some other frickery they've done a week from now.

it really is. they have been highlighting Biden articles only. and now we are suppose to trust DC to stop this with a inane hearing? this is like the gestapo. it is getting real old hiding; especially when kids are applying for jobs, they know they won't get unless they are a flaming prog turd.

More government power and intervention is not the answer here.

Stop using Twitter or Facebook in any capacity.
Don’t click on links to it. Don’t share it. Don’t log in. Delete your accounts.

It's not. And I'm generally against it. However, they are literally begging for it at this point.

I hope

Trump wins big
GOP takes the House
60 GOP Senators

And they proceed to prison rape Facebook, Twitter, etc.

It's not government intervention.


It's military intervention for a foreign controlled entity trying to overthrow an election.

There's a difference.
