    Not at all. Consider the Statement: 'Nuclear Weapons are entirely Safe' - Is that a True or a False statement? In the sense that we haven't had a 'negligent discharge' of a Nuke and where Nuclear Armed Bombers have crashed, they haven't accidentally detonated - it's True. In the sense that a single ICBM can wipe out all the major population centres of a Country, it's false.

    Now, WHO gets to decide which perspective is correct? The answer is that it is up to the Individual to weigh the information and then make their own choice. Then when enough Individuals agree on something, we get a consensus. It is not up to Google, Twitter, Facebook etc. to dictate down to us.

    Or perhaps a more relevant example given the Political nature of the discussion:

    A Trans-Woman is a Male.

    Yeah... The fact you include 4Chan with Facebook and Twitter is grounds enough to dismiss what you are saying as ignorant.

    Facebook and Twitter have a long history of Censorship - Tommy Robinson, Alex Jones, Carl Benjamin, Candice Owens etc. Now - I know that you and I disagree on the validity of some of those people, However I'm going to focus on Tommy's banning because it's the most interesting. The Claim from Facebook initially was that he had actively called for the beheading of Muslims.

    Now on face value, that's a crime, and absolutely grounds for being kicked off of a platform. However, given Tommy's public profile, we all know that had his verified account said that, it would be within nano-seconds screenshotted, and sent around the usual outrage-rags (Guardian, NY Times, Washington Post, Buzzfeed etc.) as final vindication and proof that he's the horrible racist that they've claimed.

    No. Such. Thing. Happened.

    Then you've got admission by Facebook personel on a Nordic chat show "Well There isn't one particular post where we can say 'this is the post'" which is a teensy-weensy different from the original claim.

    See below for Source (9:55 in case the timestamp doesn't work):



    I'll now point to Alex Jones - I don't like him, I think he's a loon, whether you claim he's merely entertainment or he's serious in his conviction - I think he's a Fuckwit.

    But.

    He has a right to speak, that was removed in a clearly co-ordinated effort by those who simply did not like him.

    How about from the Man himself:

    "which I fully admit is left, is more left-leaning,"

    When asked about Bias in the application of the rules.

    That isn't, but shadow-banning conservatives, de-promoting their content etc. is. But more importantly - doing the above is an Editorial action - which negates their claim that they are 'just a service provider'.

    Not to mention the above could be considered interfering with an Election, if it was bad when supposedly 'it was the Russians!' doing it, how is it right when it's the Company who hosts the discussion is doing it?

    Annnd Twitter fights back - YES!
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americ...fying-violence
    I personally don't much see the glorification of violence in Trumps tweet, so absolutely definitely a "Fuck You" shot across the bow from Twitter lol
    Queue more wah wah wahhhh from "Just let me Lie FFS" Trump
    I saw a photo of the CEO of Twitter earlier, and thought to myself, this guy looks like he has a bit of fight in him.
    Trump could move top FB I guess, then he can be suckerbergs problem

    Well, we will see won't we. Taking the shot they did would suggest they are confidant. And you can bet the Twitter lawyers have deep dived into what powers Trump actually has. And Dorksey as you call him appears to be way richer than desperate to hide his tax returns Trump. (lets be honest here Austin, Due to Trumps massive ego, if his tax returns were worth boasting about he would be shouting their contents from the top of every hill he could find).
    I'm just enjoying watching crybaby Trump go nuclear over possibly losing his ability to barefaced lie to the public

    The tweet quoted in the article you posted is incomplete. Trump’s original tweet concludes with the words, “When the looting starts the shooting starts. Thank you.”

    Trump had already retweeted a supporters tweet today containing the words, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat”.

    If Trump actually manages to make content providers responsible for posts on their site both of those would be problematical, although that probably won’t have crossed his drug addled mind.

    You realize twitter was or still is part owned by the same saudi prince that shot up the mandalay bay hotel in vegas right?

    Trump knows who owns most of twitter and does not like that guy at all from day dot.

    This wont go how you think its going to go.


    Trumps been waiting for Twitter to goof like this.

    Who woke you up? Trump thinks he’s a king. Problem is he is a mad king.
