    Can you imagine being able to just vibe on Twitter again? Like it used to be, in the olden days, before him? Before you didn't scroll down every time with the needling tension of opening an sti test result?

    He will be fuming!!! Is there a rogue twitter that he has an account on!?

    Will he start a @REALrealDonaldTrump now?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭valoren


    He should start tweeting via his Public representative "John Barron" :)

    @Potus still up. He is probably seeking the official with the password for that account?

    FCC as well social media giants need to take huge chunk of responsibility.

    They through Fox News, Sinclair media, Newsmax, OAN, talk radio, Youtube, Reddit, twtter, Facebook have allowed this far right, conspiracy theory movement to grow pretty much unabated.

    Instead of clamping down early it's continued to grow to a point that now 50% of Trump voters and 25% of registered voters overall believe everything Trump says and think he has been sent by god to squash the Democrats paedophile sex ring.

    You can thank the patron saint of the alt right Reagan and his removal of the fair doctrine for that sh1tshow

    Has been muted? No he hasn't.

    He and his acolytes are just being driven onto yet more subversive echo-chamber platforms, ones that cannot and are not monitored to the same extent by those who try to keep him and them in check.

    Places where crazies get together and make plans to hurt, kill and destroy. That worries me more than any one gobshyte being banned off of Twitter.

    Trump has conceded and will leave office on Jan 20th.
    Impeaching him will not just relight a smouldering candle but ignite an inferno.
    There wouldn't be a return of violence to disrupt the inpeachment hearings and final vote?
    If they can't get through the ring of steel then Congressmen and Senators when they return to their home states will need double or triple their current protection.
    The MAGA crowd are mad as hell and they will make the next 4 years impossible for Biden et al.
    Biden is going to be foolhardy during the next 4 years if he visits red states and isn't prepared for serious civil disturbances. Impeaching Trump is a huge mistake. He has conceded and Biden is taking over. He's talking about getting special powers and the Democrats are baying for blood. He's talking about reparations for black slavery which white conservatives will refuse to pay. He's talking about taking away firearms.
    He never heard of "Come And Take It" then?
    If Trump is banned for life he will just switch from Twitter to Parler and take his followers with him. And if Biden goes too far red states like Texas may simply secede and take other red states with them and elect Trump as their President.
    Be careful what you wish for.
    If Trump were to go on trial it would lead to a firestorm.

    The ****ing sad part about it is that there *may* be more people that will speak out against him, now that he has been muted.

    Sure everybody was scared of the Trump totalitarian system.

    This is all very black mirror-ish isn't it. A large group of Tech Billionaires deciding what information the rest of us can see, to the extent that they exclude even the President of the US.


    The precedent set now is worrying, twitter will quite possibly get rid of Bernie Sanders, or some other "radical" leftist politician in the future.

    The first amendment is pretty weak, only stopping government censorship and not private censorship.

    Yeah but the qty of people who hear their message just shrunk by 99.99%.

    Absolutely they will pass notes around and set off smoke signals and flash lights from the side of one mountain to another but they will do it as part of a small group which will be (or certainly should be) easier to monitor than is the case on the likes of Twitter and FB.

    My god, are you sure you didn't mean to post this to Parler?

    When they suspended him for a few hours earlier this week he might as well have been on the dark side of the moon. Even if he does eventually figure out other channels, his reach is severely fragmented compared to his footprint on twitter.

    Pointless banning really. The damage is long done at this point, he has turned all those supporters fully feral by being allowed to do that shít for as long as he has.

    Agree with this. Far too late. The genie is out of the bottle and it's going go be very difficult to put back in.

    Freedom of speech my hole. Twitter did **** all regulation of their platform. Every Trump comment had thousands of bots replying and retweeting.

    The Twitter blogpost justifying the expulsion makes some good (and worrying) points e.g. his comment that he won't be attending the inauguration came just after a post potentially encouraging violence, and is almost an open invitation to his supporters to target it.

    Parler will probably be gone by Monday, at least from the Apple and Google stores.

    As for the second point in bold. Trump/the Republicans claimed to be the party of Law and Order. Are you saying that that is going to change?

    Here was me thinking the US stood against terrorism?

    I guess the colour of the skin and the passport they hold decides these things..

    "Defend the Constitution against foreign and domestic" seems these words mean nothing now

    They are merely addressing a nonsense theory advanced by Matt Gaetz no less, and others.

    Important to call BS on stuff like this.

    it doesn't.

    Text is

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievance

    It doesn't apply at all in this case, though. Private property.

    Private censorship is a bit of an oxymoron.

    If I want to go make a speech in your house, you don't have to let me. Trump still has plenty of ways to make himself heard, he has not been censored. Tech companies have no obligation to allow their platforms be used for inciting violence (or anything really).

    They believe that both law and order have been usurped by the Democrat steal. They do not recognize Biden as the legitimate President they do not recognise the Senate and Congress as representing the will of the people by endorsing Biden's electors. They believe the Supreme Court reneged on its duty to rule in favour of the challenge to the legitimacy of the election.
