This “free market will solve this” is complete ridiculous foolish nonsense! These corporations can stomp us all day long. They literally control information and political speech at this point and are in bed with foreign and domestic governments. They are monsters and a constitutional threat like no other.
This is war. Don’t care at this point. Fight or die.
You arrogant prick.
You’re the “good German” and your self-righteous posturing demonstrates it beyond a doubt.
In the name of being against “big government”, you talk down to everyone else for not accepting the single most big-government element in the picture, which is the liability shield afforded to platforms.
It’s time for you to leave this site you are not a fit for a conservative venue. You are a sick and demented individual with an extreme virtue-signaling problem as well as total ignorance of the subject matter.
Your constitution is being incinerated by big media. Fight back with the president or watch it go bye bye forever.
“We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally.” Key word is disputed. He just admitted that they are a publisher.
“However, you may still be held responsible for information you provide in commentary or through editing. For example, if you edit the statement, “Fred is not a criminal” to remove the word “not,” a court might find that you have sufficiently contributed to the content to take it as your own. Likewise, if you link to an article, but provide a defamatory comment with the link, you may not qualify for the immunity.”
Twitter is dead to rights.
You really shouldn’t be arguing with someone over a topic that you don’t know squat about and are JUST learning about now.
I joined months ago but very few people were there, HOWEVER there was never anyone there I just popped over and Eric and Laura Trump have just joined, Katrina Pearson just joined, Epoc Times has news articles there, now we just need POTUS and his millions of followers to go there!! I just can’t figure out how to follow people of interest!! Maybe we could get Dan Bongino to hop on over to Parlor also!!
I would say they did not actually edit his post, just added an addendum. It was stupid, but they could ban or delete his posts totally legally.
It’s about time.
These giant “tech” players have obtained the status of “utilities”.
As such, they ARE required to follow all your natural rights and at least ATTEMPT to be fair, instead of their Thirty or Twenty-something attitudes.
Snopes can bite me!!!
They are THE PUBLIC forum whether they or you like it or not and they need to be ass wooped before it is too damned late. What in the hell is the point of a first amendment if you can’t speak out politically? No point. If one group of people can voice opinions to billions of people and you can only reach thousands or hundreds, then we don’t all have freedom of speech and our republic will die. Have fun with that. I won’t.
Got to start somewhere..
its quite a nice design I think.. would be funny if Trump joined they probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Correct.
This is war.
It would be amazing if Trump took them down for a while. Teach them a lesson or two.
@Jack is worried enough to make several posts about twitter ‘integrity’ LOL.
You don’t like my opinion? Report me Karen. Ask to see the manager.
They added a false addendum that completely changed the character of the post.
At that point they officially lost publisher status.
Twitter is done for. Lawsuit avalanche is coming in and they will not be able to handle it.
correction, officially lost “platform”, not publisher status
Take a look at Verizon Communications v. FCC (D.C. Cir. 2014) and Comcast Corp. v. FCC (D.C. Cir. 2010).
It’s a terrible idea. Which does not mean Trump won’t try it.
You can speak out politically all you want. You can do it right here in fact. No one will censor you! Unless Jimrob decides to. Do you have a problem with that?
