Wait, why is he giving speeches now ?

“The First Amendment is a check on the power of the state. It doesn’t apply to private companies like Facebook and Twitter,” he said, calling for more “value judgements” on content moderation and censorship on social media. “

In other words, the government won’t openly censor views it doesn’t like, but it can let social media do its dirty work.

He’s right about one thing as it applies to the main stream media: “[O]ver time we lose our capacity to distinguish between fact, opinion, and wholesale fiction.”

He met with the heads of social media a few years ago. I’m sure they didn’t discuss the color of the scroll bars.

If Twitter has in fact been operating on taxpayer funded government infrastructure then there will be lawsuits on top of lawsuits for deprivation of First Amendment Rights for everyone who has been banned or censored. There are also criminal charges for violating election law including illegal political contributions-in-kind.

Obama thinks he’s so clever. He’s a citizen but not American. Obama still hasn't shown a valid birth certificate, still hasn't explained a Connecticut Social Security number, and still hasn't explained attending college as a foreign student.

He is not a natural born citizen and he knows it.
He’s laughing at Americans for not knowing it.

A$$hole should be in jail right now not giving speeches about how free speech should be shut down more. This is a very conniving and dangerous politician.
