Leftists know that if they don't censor social media, conservatiive, anti-islamic views will heavily outnumber the leftist ones. Youtube now won't let anyone post videos about muslim persecution of Christians, on the grounds that it's hate speech. Never mind the fact that such persecution is rampant in the muslim world. Who will speak for the defenseless victims of Muslims? What about all those people who said such persecution should not be allowed to happen again, after the Holocaust?

Is that why Trump went and attacked a Jewish Twitter employee today?

Would you point to something which the chosen one has posted which has been censored on twitter or facebook.

It's worth reading this New York Post column that was written before the executive order became public.

https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/twitt...s-with-none-of-a-publishers-responsibilities/

In its new "fact-checking" mode, Twitter has been trying to have it both ways.

The company has stuck to its traditional position that it should be exempt from libel laws because it isn't a "publisher" of information. Yet, by invoking the right to "fact check" and remove content, it has taken on the role of a publisher.

Regardless of the events that led to this point, Trump is on more solid ground than Twitter.

Trump regularly violates Twitter's TOS.
He's the one on shaky ground.

This is something that moderated forums always have to be aware of.

And that racism is exactly why companies have a duty to censor.

Seems Trump not only wants to be king who can pass laws without senate/congressional say and he wants laws like dictatorships that make it a crime to criticize the leader.

Twitter fucked up big time with this one by taking sides and pretending to be experts and it will come back on them huge.

Who are they to tell us what are facts and the truth against someone else like Trump who can back his statements with other experts to support his statements. Who will fact check the fact checkers? Who will expert the experts, this is way beyond twitters scope and they might have just initiated irreversible damage kind of what happened to Facebook. If people have issues with Trump sue him or take him through the system. Twitter is not the place for this and they have just become hypocrites by pretending to be experts in a subject matter they have no business making comments other then being manipulated by the left to do so. It’s funny how the left is becoming everything they stand against in their crusade to bring Trump down when it’s evident it’s backfiring on them and making them look like the people and issues they have been fighting against...ohh the irony lol

It’s too bad that trump is taking the left and turning them on their heads and they are so stubborn to bring him down that they are not seeing the irreversible damage being done to this ideology. Before he was in the picture I always leaned more left then right. Not anymore, it’s too toxic.

What a bunch of hypocrites...they got exposed...

.@Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is today criticizing Twitter. “We have a different policy than Twitter on this. I believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online.” Did Twitter criticize Obama for his “you can keep your Dr.”?
https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1266169633016631297?s=21
Exactly...as soon as they decided to become arbiter is when they started the undermining process. It’s not free speech anymore, it is censorship and everything the left is fighting against they are now doing. Like WTF do they think people are this stupid? See how well that turned out for the star.

Did Trump

have his Tweets deleted?
get banned from Twitter?
banned from the internet?

That would be censorship, but that's not what happened.

The only thing that happened was a flag on his tweet that people can choose to click or not. Yet the original tweet is still accessible for everyone to read. It's no different than Twitter or someone replying directly to his Tweet with those 2 links. This is not censorship.

Even the warning Twitter put up that his tweets violate their rules about glorifying violence is also not censorship. You can still view that very Tweet by clicking a link. I know that its physically exhausting to click a link in your phone, but that isn't censorship.

If people hate Liberal social media companies so much then stop posting to them. Why do Cons keep playing a game that they know is rigged against them?

The sooner Trump brings in the new rules the better. We don't need a thought police.
Exactly 100%

The moment twitter decided to choose sides, or skew someone else’s points of view or opinions is when they undermined freedom of speech. They become hypocrites and exactly the things left stands against because they don’t want to see Trump win the election. They are trying so hard to paint trump as the bully or bad guy when in reality they are turning into everything they fear in him and saying against him they are actually doing lmao irony always wins

I haven’t seen the bill and hopefully Trump is smart enough to actually protect freedom of speech properly. It will be a dagger straight through the left heart if he actually does this properly to protect freedom of speech for all. It would have been a perfect set up to expose their hypocrisy and turn them on their head while doing something good for humanity. I am curious to see how this will work. This is a huge bill and soo important to our freedom to express ourselves without the fear of being shunned or ridiculed or shamed by assholes like the left from Twitter who decided to pull the trigger on this and undermine their fundamental ideologies.

I ask myself so much why the left operates on fear so much and am finally realizing it is a projection of their core ideologies. This is what happens when you play with fear. It will eat you from within until you become it that you fear . The beauty of this is remarkable to see it actually happening. Life imitating art. A huge win to open people’s eyes to what’s actually happening with bullshit ideologies especially the ones that operate through fear and try to use it to bring their opponents down.

Criticism and fake news are different things.

The Left no longer wants free speech because they always lose under those conditions. They have become desperate and will use any underhanded tactic to win.

Most people other than Trumpanistas want objective facts not alternative facts or trump facts. Anything which your fearless leader does not agree with is automatically deemed fake news when the greater purveyor of fake news on the internet and elsewhere is your fearless leader.
