If you are a liberal, don't you want Trump to keep tweeting? Doesn't that give your side more dirt to use?

well, he is incorrect on the mail in ballots.

What exactly was he incorrect about?

the massive corruption and fraud.

He said it will lead to it. Can you see the future?

Dems were saying it was true about the North Carolina Republican.

Have the states with all mail in voting seen huge amounts of corruption? Does he also have a crystal ball?

They deserve to have their immunity from lawsuits pulled. They are acting as publishers now instead of neutral forums.

that's what I'm starting to think.

I heard Rush say today Twitter and FB are considered forums, much like CSNBBS I guess. Without the posters and members there would be no content so the forum owner sets AUP and administers it accordingly. I would say that's true as long as they don't morph into a "forum" that links to stories with a particular political agenda and call that news.

Ice Cube calls for violence on the grounds of a fake picture. Notice the lack of a fact check, it took all of 1 day to prove that those are only reserved for President Trump and conservatives.

Twitter should manage their platform as they see fit.

Exactly. If you don't like how a company manages its resources, find another.

That's why I never bother turning to Fox News.

Once again our complainer in chief continues to act so unpresidential. It's so sad to see what he's done to our great country.

They're free to use their private resources in court when they are sued hundreds of thousands of times in perpetuity over the content they chose to publish on their private platform, whenever their public immunity previously granted by Congress is revoked.

These leftists become milton fk'in' friedman whenever it comes to manipulating big tech to their political benefit.

That isn't what anyone agreed to. They get immunity in exchange for being a neutral platform for everyone. They've slowly boiled the frog to the point where they are now an arm of the DNC.

Rip the immunity, let them fend for themselves.

The question is whether Twitter is a 'platform' or a 'publisher?'

Depends on if they're giving a PR statement to the public, or arguing in court.

This article is about facebook, but the same applies to twitter.

Facebook is now flagging the Trump tweet if people post it there.

Amazing how they were both able to roll out that feature within hours of one another. I'm sure there was no collusion involved. Awesome "free market".

I wonder if we should outright root for Trump's censorship. It's probably the only way anything will ever get done.

As I posted in OP, Facebook's been censoring conservative posts w/ regularity for a while now. I think if they find a post they don't like or think is 'fake news', their program must catch everyone who's ever posted it. Crazy.

But I don't think we will need to root for Trump's censorship; my guess that snowball keeps rolling; if not on Trump then other conservatives or conservatives in general.

This is not good.

Not holding my breath.

Facebook censoring a post on Big Gretch: "Fact-Check: Michigan Gov. Whitmer did not spend May 20 at her vacation home." "Independent fact checkers at PolitiFact say information in your post is false. To stop the spread of false news, we've added a notice to your post."

Yes, they are really flagging posts about if our governor was at her vacation home or not.
(From what I understand - as usual - the fact-checkers are wrong on this, especially because she said she had to cancel her daughter's party because there were protesters w/ ARs - (which also is a lie))

Also, while I had said in my OP that they just flag posts & you have to click you understand it's Fake News to view the post, I believe on certain occasions they will delete the post & post their 'Fake News' message instead. I'm not completely sure on this, I may be misremembering, so take it w/ a grain of salt & I will keep my eye out for these situations.

Frick Twitter.

Set up a Magnificent Orange Bastard daily message.

I'll read it.

The soy cucks at Twitter can frick right on off.
