You think that really matters to them?

I do not see this ending well for them.

Why?

Social media is the new town square. They've created powerful platforms to enable free speech, but now they are threatening it all to push a political agenda.

If they are going to censor and curate content like this, they are no longer exclusively social media platforms.

And they are also performing valuable campaign services to Democrats at no costs. These are not considered campaign contributions even though they have a measurable value.

Drop the hammer. Drop the fricking hammer on these fools.


I'm getting really sick and tired of tech doing whatever the frick it wants and limp wristed Republicans roll over and do nothing about it.

Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Facesuck need to be broken up. Twitter needs to be regulated into submission.

Apparently Twitter got the House and Senate confused.

Aunt Nancy WILL NOT be happy.

Just further elevates the Hunter Biden catastrophe by tying it to media censorship. Dumb.

Which is all a dog and pony show. It never leads to anything.

They really stepped in it this time. There is a lot of outrage out there. I think something will happen now. If Trump wins again, he will go after them.

We actually have citizens of this country who think such actions are GREAT. It's been a terrifying thing to realize.

They've chosen a side. Crossed the Rubicon, so to speak.

Twitter is passing the baton to some other alternative forum. They are now a publisher. An advocate. A partisan.

They've always been. It is refreshing they're now open about it.
