President Trump should introduce legislation stripping all socialism media companies of their section 230 immunity. What do I mean by this? Please read below.
Since the tech companies are trying to have it both ways where on one hand they are censoring conservatives, promoting Democrats in their social media algorithms, but at the very same time they have public square immunity under federal law from what people post to their web sites. The Tech Left are saying they can do whatever they want when it comes to censorship. However, if you have public square immunity from federal law, then you cannot at the very same time censor conservatives and promote Democrats.
President Trump simply needs to make it so that Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.. can no longer have immunity to third party posts. Thus, social media will no longer be treated as public platforms or the modern public square where people can say what they want, but treated as Publishers. Again this is since social media giants want to censor what is being said on their web sites. The Tech Left are trying to have it both ways, and you cannot. You fall under one category or the next.
This above is an easy way to make everyone play by the same rules. If you make a billion dollar as these tech companies do, then say they are liable for all content posted on their web sites like a Publisher. The funny part is the Tech Left for years have been arguing they are just a public platform and they cannot be held accountable. However, since they are now openly and actively censoring people it is time to strip away their section 230 immunity. Section 230 is part of the Digital Millennium Copyright act, and it holds that platforms are not liable for content posted by third parties to their websites.
It would be great if social media were neutral forums. However, since they are not neutral forums then we have a problem. Since the algorithms are rigged to favor Democrats and Leftists the Justice Department must open an investigation into the social media companies to determine if the algorithms are an “in kind” election contribution.
For instance, if you own Billboard, then you cannot give that Billboard to a political candidate. That is known as “in kind” contribution, and there are contribution limits. Thus, if you like a candidate and you donate the maximum money. You then cannot go put out a bunch of commercials for that candidate. This is because you already maxed out giving money to the candidate. What these tech companies are doing by rigging the algorithms is the functional equivalent of giving a candidate free billboards and TV ads.
The above is the key for President Trump to stop the tech left election engineering and rigging. President Trump should have the DOJ send subpoenas to all these social media companies a notice to preserve all evidence, and a notice to preserve all documents. If they fail to do this, hide information, etc… then they can go to prison under federal laws for tampering with evidence and documents. Furthermore,
President Trump can send them notices of anti-trust, election meddling and election fraud, Federal Elections Commission and to the Anti-Trust commission. The tech companies have made a bet. They believe the Democrats are going to win the House of Representatives in November of 2018. If this happens, then they are off the hook. This is because they will not have Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and others to hold them accountable since the Democrats would be in control. They believe as long as they help the Democrats they are free and clear.
This is why President Trump needs to send out the notices to preserve evidence, subpoena them and open a criminal investigation for election meddling, election engineering and illegal “in kind” campaign contributions made by social media giants. This is all in clear violation of campaign finance laws.
This is the Tech Left Coup. Remember Dinesh D'souza was investigated, charged and sent to prison over giving 20k to a friend through alleged shell donors, then why is there no investigation into the “in kind” contributions? Remember too the new Black Panthers got investigated for standing outside of voting centers with clubs to intimidate voters. Although Holder let them go. Anyhow, these are the Democrats blocking everyone and intimidating everyone.
So when Twitter and Facebook rig their platforms so that Democrat content goes to the top of the pile, that is the functional equivalent of giving someone a free commercial. That’s a clear campaign contribution of billions of dollars.
==========================
TRUMPS'S HUD COMPLAINT NOW IN MOTION SAYS: Facebook mines extensive user data and classifies its users based on protected characteristics. Facebook’s ad targeting tools then invite advertisers to express unlawful preferences by suggesting discriminatory options. Among those options are physical disabilities, parents with children and even religious practices — advertisers are allowed to show their ads only to people Facebook deems interested in “Jesus” or the “Christian Church,” for example. Those practices could violate the Civil Rights Act, HUD said in the complaint, dated August 13.
Here it is, very clear. They are colluding to get democrats elected. They are ready. They are systematically eliminating any and all normal people on SPLC’s “destroy” list. They suppress results that speak the truth. They promote leftist propaganda.
It’s revealed. We know. Nothing will be done about it. I wish I were wrong.
This IS collusion to affect the election.
Disconnect Twitter, Google and Youtube from the Internet 30 days before the election unless they come up with a workable plan to give both sides equal opportunities to make their point. No negative advertising will be allowed.
Fine for breaching those rules is 5 billion dollars and 1 year probation with an FCC and BBG monitor providing oversight. Additional breach will result in loss of license.
To Democrats and Socialists, everything and everyone is just a tool and is to be discarded once it is no longer sharp.
Colluding to affect the election!
I thought that was illegal?
Judging by all the threads on this, not so secret.
We now know this is in kind contribution and the Dems need to list this or they all go to jail.
Federal Trade Commisson: Doesn’t this call for a trust-busting investigation?
Department of Justice: Doesn’t this call for a RICO investigation?
They are inviting regulation which will be draconian.
A very bad business move.
reminds me of the meeting with obama in 2011

I hear Zuckerburg is suggesting a work-intensive plan for the tech titans.
Zuck will relate that when his wife has an orgasm, she yells out “algorithm”......
Zuck says that this helps tekkies....b/c they wont consider sex a big waste of time.
The Mafia was nothing compared to the corrupt DC swamp. Pray for the POTUS who is our only hope.
