We were getting a number of reports


but no actual acts of violence.

I think Dorsey is hearing from shareholders and fighting for his job.

Which gives me an idea. Stop using all of these services and I mean hard. Tell everybody repeatedly to do this(like I do with cutting cable tv). Put together a mutual fund that invests in just these MFing censors then hold sway over their policies. Keep it front and center.

Re: 19

LOL!
Yes, I note the heavy sarcasm. I am all for free markets, but clearly that ship has sailed regarding Facebook and Google (with their YouTube subsidiary), that are just too entrenched with their large user base. I am no fan of Government interference - but Facebook, Google, Twitter are crying out for Anti-Monopoly litigation.

But the real question behind the question is...

Look at the left hand not at the right.
Everything after that is illusion/misdirection...IMO

I like OANN!
FoxNews actually trends a bit left. Unlike the other big Networks, they do have some conservatives (as opposed to 100% Leftists), but overall Fox leans to the Left.
OANN is pretty straight, with a bit of a lean to the Right (which is fine by me).

If liar Dorsey is actually interesting in policing hateful content, why doesn’t he start with “Minister” Farakkan’s twitter feed which has the following pinned tweet:

“Thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.

the RINOS SOP is to cower under their desks. They do not like sticking their necks out because they only care about feathering their nests.

Re: 29

I agree - the RINOs are just Democrats who run as Republicans in Conservative districts.

Well, they all lie that they are objective.

Kind of like antifa saying they are peaceful while they are beating someone with a stick.

Problem for us is conservatives are more individualists. We don’t get our feelers hurt and run out and mass spam complaints aimed at getting opposing content removed.

Hate to say it but sometimes I wish we would.

How about just banning the stuff that's illegal

Now that is where most of the problems lie. In this upside down America where right is wrong and left is right, these assholes could not even come close to defining "lawful" in their twisted minds.

I like the “left-leaning”. Yeah, “leaning”.

The liberals never stop lying. They never stop lying.

Remember, getting out of denial is one of the first stages of recovery.

Cant wait until they go bankrupt.

Should be soon if they keep doing what they're doing. They just shut down my account. Didn't like that I countered a liberal fascist who thought attacking conservatives was OK, with the point that I thought we should shoot illegals at the border. Apparently, they don't like protecting ones' country. Bunch of SOBs.

I think I'll play the multiple name game with them.

twitter will go the way of myspace one day. let them get rid of all non leftwing snowflakes and it can remain one big circle jerk. they have no real power.
as far as youtube, well they’re dumb as hell because they have a paid for subsription streaming service call youtube red.
NOBODY CONSERVATIVE SHOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING INTO THIS. SAME WITH SPOTIFY.

Screw them.

I hope that one of the congressional committees asks him to “prove” that anything Alex Jones has said had (in a documented manner), incited violence.

I don’t follow Jones and won’t. Think he’s more wacko than truth-seeker but after looking at some of the Twits on Twitter that leftists have written, I’m sure that hundreds of them would be banned from it under Dorsey’s own rules if he was honest enough to follow them.

But then he’s “limousine Marxist” so honesty is not his strong point.

Free Speech or even paid for speak is under attack by the Marxist/liberal/progressive/socialist/Democrat Left (all the same when you look at what they say and do) and like Pastor Niemoller said many decades ago, when they came for me, there was nobody left to help me.

The new fascism of the Left is “RED FASCISM”, an amalgamation of Hitler’s “Big Lie” and Lenin/Stalin’s “Iron Fist”.

Never call them liberal again. Play the “Alinsky Game”. Target them, study them, label them, ridicule them, never let them have a minute’s peace.

Two can play this game and it’s about time that we got into the ball game with oversized verbal bats and in-depth knowledge, seasoned by a stinging, cutting, and really penetrating sense of humor.

Just call us “The Good Humor People of Freedom” and stick it to the bastards.
