😆 So, we have a problem where a bunch of people don’t trust the media, feel isolated and abandoned, and are started to devolve into violence and conspiracy theories. Hey - I got an idea!  Let’s censor them and make them even more extreme!

thats funny cause when BLM and Kaep said we got a police brutality problem the right said stfu.

Do you think Twitter was equally consistent in banning BLM and Liberal activists for violating their terms last summer?

No, I don’t.  I think them being inconsistent is the biggest issue and not the fact that they banned Trump.

I only posted the article.  I don't necessarily agree with it.  But its nice to see there's a safe space for repub's and trumpers to go if they want.

They should be doing more of this.

I thought that is what Parler was.

This is the biggest problem in my opinion. Both sides can’t see that they’re guilty of the same things. It’s always the other side that is wrong and if they actually do admit they are wrong they justify it by saying the other side is worse. Zero accountability.

Great news! No more riots on our nations capitol, his "proud boys"-thugs that act tough when there's a bunch of them-are gonna have to be "tough" somewhere else. But seriously, in the end don (1) cost republicans the Presidency, (2) the Senate, and (3) the House. He really DID make America great again!

They didn’t ban him for being conservative though. They banned him for violating their terms. 

so the terms are ok for the Ayatollah to say we must destroy Israel

but not for Trump to say stop violence is not the answer

He's such a hack-off that shows NO respect to anybody, he single-handedly lost the election and has damaged the image of the repubs for a while.

Not to mention they were selling a false narrative. I also think the overwhelming majority of people didn’t say stfu. They said do your kneeling or protesting on your own time.

I would have considered voting for anybody else but don. I claim no party, it's just that he's so despicable I would never ever consider voting for him-the name calling, his smart@$$ "performance" at the debates, etc...............NO class, acts like a spoiled little kid that didn't get his way.

1. They are wrong

2. Yeah we said STFU, but you know what we didn't do? Take away their rights to that speach.

No surprise you can't see the difference here.

You don’t have a right to say whatever you want on social media. Of all people, I expect conservatives to have a good understanding of this.

That's very opened ended of you. Bottom line is I do have the right so long as I don't break the law.

The problem is social media PLATFORMS are acting as publishers. That's why people are calling for the repeal of section 230.

But you can justify voting for joe?  Guess what I 100% would have voted for Tusli. When that didn’t happen there was no option I had to vote for POLICY. That’s what I care about I don’t care about feelings

1)  I would bet $100 you've never read Twitter's TOS. 

2)  They freely admit they change their policies and TOS constantly.  And they don't document them or inform you of those changes.  Basically, they find a tweet they don't like or that their Lib partners have asked them to remove, and then they miraculously find a "policy" it violates.  And, for some reason, it almost always ONLY happens to tweets by conservatives.

The terms are not black and white. I'm sure Twitter has something about hate speech. But the SCOTUS has said there is no such thing as hate speech.

Twitter uses the protection of section 230 to act as a publisher. This allows them to serve as the public square without being responsible for what gets posted there. Now the government has asked for some moderation like no CP. These social network "platforms" have taken the next step into becoming publishers. As a publisher, they decide what is and isn't allowed in their public square. 

Clearly, they have the technology to moderate what gets posted to their site. And since they want to decide what information is allowed. They are no longer a platform and should be treated as a publisher. And punished like a publisher when illegal activity occurs on their site.

As far as number 2 goes if get worse. They retroactively enforce those TOS changes. Like with the NY Post article. They changed the TOS and told the NY post to remove the article if they wanted to be unbanned..

He could kneel all he wanted and documents showed teams attempted to sign him but he refused. :dunno:

His employers at the time didn't want him to kneel during the national anthem while on company time. Just like I'm not allowed to use my government position for political gain. 

My problem with twitter is they have double protection and it's not right. Either they are a publisher or a platform.

Was the NY Post banned?  Or just the article?  I feel like that situation was a worse issue of censoring than this.

The NY Post account was suspended unless they retracted the article they posted. This was after Twitter changed the TOS and use that to suspend them. The new terms said people can't post stolen data. Of course, they had no problem with people posting Trump's stolen tax returns and other stolen material. The fact that the NT Post was one of the few MSM reporting on the Hunter Biden scandal lead to the banning. 

Worse the data wasn't stolen. Yt because the property of the business repairman when hunter failed to pay. Twitter didn't care.

This is a great example of Twitter acting as a publisher.

I agree to an extent.

I think this may serve as an opportunity for another platform to be developed. Lefties can keep Twitter.

Why do you think everyone is banning Parler?   They want to try to stop that from happening.

Conservatives have tried that. Go make your own facebook they said. So conservatives made Gab. Liberal just went up to the next level and Cloudflare (I believe) refused to host the site. In addition, they were denied service by many payment platforms.

It's interesting in order to have a website a person has to not only build the site, but a hosting agency AND a banking system to support it.

This has been a problem since 2017 and it's only getting worse.

I didn’t know there were so many barriers. There has to be a way around them, but I assume it would be extremely expensive. I appreciate the info.

Well, Kaepernick did get a chunk of money from the NFL, so I don’t think he was offered jobs and refused them.

Yet Trump was tweeting on our dime.
