I am thinking that if they do anything to a Presidential Tweet, it could be criminal. They are automatically part of the historical record, are they not?

I hope Eric & Don Jr are working hard on a new social media platform. It would take off quickly and challenge FB & Twitter.

You mean like this one? https://gab.com/

“GAB is the closest alternative available.”

POTUS needs to start cross posting to Gab right NOW and let twitter know that they can be replaced.

I’ve been waiting for Twitter to figure out a way to suppress Trump’s message which has enabled him to go around the Leftist/DeepState/One party media.

So far this is as close as they can come short of an outright ban, which they so desperately hope they will eventually achieve.

"Twitter considering labeling Trump tweets that violate rules [???]"

Are those “rules” anything like the “goal posts” that liberals are always moving?

This will completely shut down Jack Dorsey— should he be so foolish as to do so. His number is up.

Comes under the same rules as a newspaper. Used to be, the editorial page editor— allowed balance editorials (of course not instantly and in the millions as postings from the gutter generally and crude language).

By doing this— should this idiot do it- it will collapse Twitter. Which is just fine. Next will come Square— this clown’s financial machine. Him and zuckerberg looking to move into their bunkers in NZ.

My terrible use of English. I meant about.

On doesnt mean the same thing.

I meant it in the context of “speaking on a subject”

The case of censorship could easily be made already. Who could possibly argue that these tech robber barons aren’t a monopoly? They’re playing with fire now. Go ahead, f with Trump’s free speech platform and see what happens.

OH that would be fantastic good news. I pray they censor Trump. That would get VERY exciting.

I’ve all but quit Twitter these days. I just created a burner account to read news, but I can probably figure out another efficient way to curate news without their platform. If they start censoring the president, I’ll be terminating my account altogether.

I’ve said it for a while.....Trump should dump Twitter and join Gab. It would have an earthshaking effect as Gab’s user base and uptake would explode.

I hope Twitter does this, it will just make their insane rules obvious.

If Twitter shuts him down, Trump can just move to Gab - all the media will stampede to follow him there (the rest of the Left, too) to see what he’s saying. Of course, all of Trump’s supporters will follow him there as well. Win-win for Gab/Trump - major LOSS for Twitter. Twitter does NOT want to start a war with Trump on this.

BTW, Ben Carson/HUD have a new lawsuit against Facebook ....

The incredible ego of these nerds, as if anybody thinks their opinions are evennon the same page as the leader of the Nation!

The opinion of the flea on my dogs ass is more important to me and has more impact on my life than some social media flunky.
