Can’t wait to frame this and hang it up in the office.
The left:
We hate you. Therefore you are guilty of inciting hate. Therefore we can ban you.
Oh... you hate us, TOO? Well, then you are guilty of hate. Therefore we can ban you.
Notice how they make it sound like Trump is talking about Alex Jones. I just hate these bastards.
Hollywood does not censor negative speech nor extreme violence in its entertainment. And I have seen vile tweets against Trump that is not censored by Twitter and I am sure Facebook does not censor that either.
So it certainly is not those concepts that Twitter and Facebook are trying to shut down. The enemy is obviously Trump, conservatives, and conservatism.
Blasting it is one thing, what will he do to correct it? Will he sic the DOJ/FBI on them? FTC? Others? That should be openly done. Challenge social media to either be (1) a social platform of 3rd party content which they don’t touch or (2) filter and responsible for content. They cannot have it both ways. Whether via law or court, they need to choose, owners of content or not. Censorship is wrong, restore the content or own all of it.
Social Media told the Dems sit back and relax we’ll hand you this election on a Silver Platter ,LOL
BTTT
Some questions that could use answers:
<><>1) How many tax dollars do social media companies suck-up from giving government agencies access to their data?
<><> 2) How much influence does this give US govt agencies over the policies of the social media company?
<><> 3) Has the Deep State been using its influence for political purposes?
<><> Has the Deep State used its power to (a) oppose certain voices, and, (b) to support other voices in the social media environment?

FACEBOOK IS A PUBLICLY-HELD COMPANY SUBJECT TO SEC RULES The SEC looks askance when publicly-held companies misrepresent their value to investors and/or falsifies Annual Reports. This Facebook Prospectus is what Zuckerberg used to dupe investors when he went public. The prospectus describe "a public forum where all viewpoints are equally tolerated." That's what he said....what he did was radically different.
From Facebook's IPO Prospectus dated May 3, 2012:
Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them to the people they care about.
Developers can use the Facebook Platform to build applications (apps) and websites that integrate with Facebook to reach our global network of users and to build products that are more personalized, social, and engaging.
Advertisers can engage with more than 900 million monthly active users (MAUs) on Facebook or subsets of our users based on information they have chosen to share with us such as their age, location, gender, or interests. We offer advertisers a unique combination of reach, relevance, social context, and engagement to enhance the value of their ads.
We believe that we are at the forefront of enabling faster, easier, and richer communication between people and that Facebook has become an integral part of many of our users’ daily lives. We have experienced rapid growth in the number of users and their engagement.
[snip]
How We Create Value for Users
Our top priority is to build useful and engaging products that enable you to:
Connect with Your Friends. With more than 900 million MAUs worldwide, our users are increasingly able to find and stay connected with their friends, family, and colleagues on Facebook.
Discover and Learn. We believe that users come to Facebook to discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them.
Express Yourself. We enable our users to share and publish their opinions, ideas, photos, and activities to audiences ranging from their closest friends to our 900 million users, giving every user a voice within the Facebook community.
Control What You Share. Through Facebook’s privacy and sharing settings, our users can control what they share and with whom they share it.
Experience Facebook Across the Web. Through apps and websites built by developers using the Facebook Platform, our users can interact with their Facebook friends while playing games, listening to music, watching movies, reading news, and engaging in other activities.
Stay Connected with Your Friends on Mobile Devices. Through the combination of our mobile sites, smartphone apps, and feature phone products, users can bring Facebook with them on mobile devices wherever they go. Foundations of the Social Web
We believe that the web, including the mobile web, is evolving to become more social and personalized. This evolution is creating more rewarding experiences that are centered on people, their connections, and their interests. We believe that the following elements form the foundation of the social web:
Authentic Identity. We believe that using your real name, connecting to your real friends, and sharing your genuine interests online create more engaging and meaningful experiences. Representing yourself with your authentic identity online encourages you to behave with the same norms that foster trust and respect in your daily life offline.
Authentic identity is core to the Facebook experience, and we believe that it is central to the future of the web. Our terms of service require you to use your real name and we encourage you to be your true self online, enabling us and Platform developers to provide you with more personalized experiences.
Social Graph. The Social Graph represents the connections between people and their friends and interests. Every person or entity is represented by a point within the graph, and the affiliations between people and their friends and interests form billions of connections between the points. Our mapping of the Social Graph enables Facebook and Platform developers to build more engaging user experiences that are based on these connections.
Social Distribution. Over time, people are consuming and creating more kinds of information at a faster pace across a broader range of devices. The growing volume of information makes it challenging to find meaningful and trusted content and to effectively make your voice heard. Facebook organizes and prioritizes content and serves as a powerful social distribution tool delivering to users what we believe they will find most compelling based on their friends and interests.
Express what matters to them?
Richer communication between people?
Integral part of users' daily lives?
Discover and learn more about what is going on in the world around them, particularly in the lives of their friends and family and with public figures and organizations that interest them?

This is why I think Trump already has a legal team going through the possibilities of taking legal action against Apple, Facebook, Alphabet’s Google, Twitter and Yahoo! all at the same time.
Translated: We are at war with the leftist social media. Sure hope we win this one. They deserve a good beat down for sure.
when facebook, youtube, and other commercial site block, downthrottle, and ban political candidates ads and posts during a campaign, isn’t that a violation of the FEC?
I’ll bet it just burns Jack Dorksey up to have to allow Trump to make these tweets.
The LEFT’s position about hate speech if applied equally would mean total silence. But, of course, it is not.
All speech is offensive. Name an issue that is 100% approved by the people. Bueller? Bueller?
Of course, the LEFT’s position on hate speech is tyrannical. They are tyrannical.
We need a LEFT MEDIA CARTEL(including social media) free day/week/month.
Imagine if the NFL teams were publicly traded. Where would their stock price be today?
The social media management = LEFT
The stockholders = money
That is their achilles heel.
This is trash. Twitter, Facebook, etc. are private companies and they should be allowed to discriminate against conservatives all they want. Political opinion is not a protected class. If Trump stops these companies from discriminating then he is engaging in tyranny.
There is something much bigger to address with these services. First it is important to expose the fact that a Saudi Prince is the second largest stockholder in Twitter. This could be an issue of National Security considering the tracking cookies these social sites and Google install in everyone’s computer every time they log in.
All these services... Google, Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter install subroutines along with their cookies that follow you everywhere you go even when not logged in or using their services. None of these have a disclaimer or anything in their contract that they are going to do this to users and it is very intrusive and most likely illegal because it is done completely without your knowledge.
Check it for yourself. Anyone who has a good ad/cookie blocker (like Ghostery) list can do this. Clear everything and come to the FR. You will see just one tracker pop up, Google analytics. Then go log into Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and log back out. Or even just go watch a Youtube video and then come back to the FR which you KNOW has only one tracker.
After this your list will pop up two here. But it will not show what this tracker is in your list, it is invisible to even these good ad blockers. Then clear your cookies and return back here, it will once again show only one.
I did this with everyone of these sites one at a time and had the same thing happen. They are tracking everything you do on the net without your knowledge even if you are logged out and not using their services.
Being private companies DOES NOT give them the legal right to do this without your knowledge.
Instruct AG Sessions, if you can wake him up, to Enforce out Anti Trust Laws!!!
https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/antitrust-laws
The Sherman Act outlaws “every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade,” and any “monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize.” Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids. These acts are “per se” violations of the Sherman Act; in other words, no defense or justification is allowed.
The penalties for violating the Sherman Act can be severe. Although most enforcement actions are civil, the Sherman Act is also a criminal law, and individuals and businesses that violate it may be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Criminal prosecutions are typically limited to intentional and clear violations such as when competitors fix prices or rig bids. The Sherman Act imposes criminal penalties of up to $100 million for a corporation and $1 million for an individual, along with up to 10 years in prison. Under federal law, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the amount the conspirators gained from the illegal acts or twice the money lost by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is over $100 million.
The Federal Trade Commission Act bans “unfair methods of competition” and “unfair or deceptive acts or practices.” The Supreme Court has said that all violations of the Sherman Act also violate the FTC Act. Thus, although the FTC does not technically enforce the Sherman Act, it can bring cases under the FTC Act against the same kinds of activities that violate the Sherman Act. The FTC Act also reaches other practices that harm competition, but that may not fit neatly into categories of conduct formally prohibited by the Sherman Act. Only the FTC brings cases under the FTC Act.
To all the pearl clutching Think Tankers chiming in, simply Google the ways in which local, state and federal government uses the socials and then present a case for Republican exclusion.
Outside of POTUS Reagan, POTUS Trump is the only guy we ever had that actually fights for US.
To think, a (former?) Liberal from New York is hated by the Leftists more than Conservative (reformed Democrat) POTUS Reagan.
Crazy World we live in.
