twitter just permanently banned donald trump

Freedom of speech VS kaos

It’s not a easy decision

 

[h.h.]

who insulted "you all"?


you guys don't seem to be able to understand the concept im discussing here. its not about Trump for me, its about the principle.

as i said, im happy they did this. as can be read in the worlds news, Twitter just shot themselves in the foot using a 12 gage pump action. this has served as a wake up call for all the world leaders etc.

truth is, if the big tech monopolies were not colluding to suppress any competition, we would already have an alternative.

but now they won't be able stop it, as the world's elite has seen the power that the social media monopolies hold in their sticky fists, jack will not be able to put Pandora back in her box.

no matter how convenient you think it was, the precedent it sets is awful.

have no idea how factual this account is, but it's a first hand account from someone who was there at the front. probably worth watching if all you saw was cnn/mbc coverage of events that day of January 6th, 2021.

What you don’t understand is that some of us do understand and simply don’t agree.

It has nothing to do with trump.
It has nothing to do with nazism.
Nothing to do with lack of logic.

Twitter et al does not have an obligation just as you or I don’t have an obligation to give anybody a voice.
They’ve been giving politicians a free pass while censoring the public. You actually think that is better.

Big tech monopolies suppressing I C?

So you think government should control social media? Do you think hitler would have allowed Twitter to suspend his account? Because I guess that’s what nazis do. Communist nazis anyway.

I thought you were against government control.

Some just wanna rage out at no shirt no shoes no service. We grasped the concept for a long time. Even spicoli got it in fast times.

Yes, some Poles were Nazi collaborators. The Polish Parliament is trying to legislate that away.

Feb. 2, 2018 at 3:00 a.m. MST
On Jan. 26, the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Polish Parliament approved a controversial draft law outlawing the term “Polish extermination camp” and criminalizing discussion of any Polish crimes relating to the Holocaust.
The law’s language is slightly arcane and even ambiguous about scholarly work, but its purpose is clear: to restrict discussion of Polish complicity.

Try to use a restroom in North Las Vegas. They’re all locked up.

Colfax has its own rules...and they are wonderful. Man the first time I drove down it I was going out of my mind with excitement over all the dive bars where kick ass bands could play and great authentic places to eat. Its a rad street.

Edit: I accidentally took my 8 yr old to a homeless meth party at union Station. He came with to run some errands and had to pee so we stopped in...yeah fucking homeless dudes just sitting in a circle smoking meth. Taught him to pee outdoors in a city instead.

That's not my takeaway from that.

What I see is a country suddenly aware that a single social media platform can effectively sway and effect an election. Which should scare the crap out of anyone who lives in any place that calls itself a democracy.

A social media platform that either purchases outright or out performs with advertisers any competitor that comes along, effectively creating a monopoly within their sphere.

And because those companies happen to reside within a country that has allowed these social media platforms to run unchecked because that country's law happen to protect and encourage such behavior, they took the only option available to them to protect their people from outside influence.

The real issue is these companies all need to be broken up like Elizabeth Warren wanted to do a few years ago. But was stymied by the GOP (and a few within the DNC) because "private businesses can do what they want". Which should be read as, "These companies paid us a lot of money to stop you from doing the right thing by America."

 

[h.h.]

It’s not a monopoly. They have competition.

They’re just the flavor of the week. Mostly because of trump. Soon the newest and grooviest will come along and take the lead. Twitter is for old people.

”What I see is a country suddenly aware that a single social media platform can effectively sway and effect an election. Which should scare the crap out of anyone who lives in any place that calls itself a democracy”

Over the last five + years Polands democracy has been purposefully unravelled. In the context of a budding autocracy this “freedom of speech” law might be considered in a different light.

No I'm never for government control of anything, but I believe social media should be broken up as a monopoly. I'm not even going to entertain the Hitler nonsense, it's gotten old.

'Social media' is not one company. That makes no sense at all.

 

['Boogieman']

Specifically Facebook and Twitter, break them up. Jack and Zuck shouldn't have this much power to influence our elections. As far as I'm concerned they have a monopoly because others can't compete without getting destroyed.

Breaking up a company is not government control?
