Yes, we knew 3 days after the attack that the story line was a total lie.

I’ve read that account.

Regardless, there is more to the Four Seasons/Mandalay Bay incident than we are told.

Twitter (and Facebook and Google) should be broken up pursuant to our anti-trust laws for monopolistic practices.

I post about the Ma Bell breakup on twitter weekly. Wiki link included. I have already been shadow banned. All social media is now totalitarian. Time for a shake up.

“I have already been shadow banned. All social media is now totalitarian. Time for a shake up.”

Interesting how some businesses/people are allowed to discriminate, but others not. You can filter content on social media to fit an ideological narrative, but a bakery that doesn’t want to bake cakes for gay weddings cannot refuse.

"No, he does not..."

Then why doesn't he? Maybe Twitter threatened to cut him off if he goes onto Gab.

If you post like this they have to count it.

@therealdonaldtrump #releasethememo #shumershutdown

or @potus

anything directed at those two accounts have to be counted and NOT shadowed

Twitter is a private business that is no longer serving free speech
Its not a govt or official platform
Their soap box - their rules
So obviously some competition needs to step up
The POTUS could lead the way here

can understand how Crown Prince bin Salman can seize alwaleed’s cash and bank accounts. But I’m not clear on how he can seize dopey alwaleed’s shares in Twitter and other companies.
_________

Not Salman, US government under the Human Trafficing EO. All US funds sequestered?

Didn’t Q post (IIRC) that the reason Alwaleed can’t make bail is the $$ is frozen?

I will simply remind all reading this thread that Twitter is a publicly traded company and as such the best place to hit them is in their bottom line.

Abandon twitter, find or fund alternatives and use them. Period.

When hundreds of thousands or MILLIONS of Twitter users abandon the platform because of Twitter's actions, it will fail.

That's how Capitalism works. Good ideas thrive and prosper. Bad ideas fail. Socialism and Marxism are bad ideas and they've failed all over the world. Stop using Twitter and it fails here too.

Simple as that.

(Spoken as a non-Twitter user.)

You're a little over four years behind the times. Twitter went public in November, 2013.

As a publicly traded company, it's not "their platform, their rules."

POTUS posts on Twitter because he can reach us directly, and Twitter knows better than to censor POTUS (although it was briefly blocked a couple weeks ago due to an "error").

And I'm sure POTUS doesn't care about Twitter's censorship of replies. He knows we're out here.

Why anyone else would bother to post on Twitter is totally beyond me. It's just a wasteland filled with cretins posting nonsense, and fascist censors killing off any reasoned commentary.

Facebook is no better. Nearly all social media -- certainly all the big ones -- have been compromised and/or co-opted.

Why should we be surprised?

Oh pardon me
I didnt know twitter was a government agency
I thought it was a public business owned by private enterprise shareholders in the private sector, an internet company free to pick its content and promote its brand to benefit its shareholders and profits
Like youtube and Facebook
And anyone who didn’t like it could go start their own company
My bad
