All this "Big Tech" nonsense in this thread in the past 24 hours is absolutely cringeworthy. If people can't understand the difference between "freedom of speech" and inciting hatred/spewing lies, then I don't think anyone can help them at this point.

Trump has used his Twitter platform to spread downright lies and nonsense to over 80 million followers. That is incredibly damaging to the fabric of society. There should rightly be a debate on how social media platforms regulate and moderate that sort of thing in the future, but at the end of the day, tell lies and face the consequences. It's about time Trump faced them. Long overdue.

The problem is that some are allowed to fook around, others are not.

When a gigantic company can so easily shape public opinion to suit themselves through manipulation, it's a big problem, and one that needs fixing immediately.

Yes, like "insert example" here. It's rampant.

Precisely.

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I've read on here. Fair play.

It's funny but there's a real possibility that he could set up his own social media site and it'd be huge.
Let's be honest, there's hundreds of people on here who despise Trump but followed him on Twitter to report his comments and attack.them. They are going to sign up for his site,if he starts one, just to have access to his comments.
It's quite frightening to.think.this could happen but it really could.

Yes, yes, very good.

Any examples of things that go against your personal beliefs, or does your brain break at that point?

Everyone loves censorship when it suits, everyone hates it when it doesn't.

The glaring, blaring hypocrisy, it's funny

The guy who sat in Pelosis chair and put his feet on her desk has been arrested.

No but I’m sure someone with a brilliant brain like yours can come up with some examples for me.

Like I said, it is going to happen. He is not isolated, that is bull****. When was the last time you had 75 million people vote for you?

Nah, this only the beginning of Trump, a taste sample, a hors d'oeuvre.

To quote the master tweeter himself ; "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters,"

ohnonotgmail · 09-01-2021 5:38pm

so a few people were asking yesterday was it really worthwhile impeaching trump at this late stage. By impeachment I mean convicted in the senate. and it seems it is very worth while. apart from banning him from running for further public office it also has the following ramifications:

he loses his presidential pension
he loses the health insurance given to ex-presidents
He loses the office space and staff allocated to ex-presidents
he loses the protection of the secret service

the last is probably the biggest thing. he wont be able to give the Secret Service padded bills for staying in mar a lago and also have to pay for his own protection.

So you want the Government to regulate and determine what social media can be used for. Do we include the press and media in this?

Sounds an awful lot like communism to me.

Isn't this what Trump wants to do with social media looking to eliminate protections for what can be put on social media?

"No"

Well no point in going further then, is there? You've admitted in one word that you're implicitly biased.

It's people that "think" like you that need to be kept far away from influencing positions. The championing of unfairness, inequality, and common nonsense. Just once it suits, that's all that matters.

These platforms need to be spanked into reality, the sooner the better.

As a matter of interest, does he also get excluded from the security briefings?

He'll get at least five years for mail fraud.

Nowhere did I mention Trump, that's your brain dreaming. I simply stated the obvious, that different rules for different people is unfair and, considering the impact these companies have, downright dangerous.

Banning him from running in the future is probably the one that'll impact him most, as it'll turn off the tap of constant "fundraising" via dodgy PACs if he's prohibited from being a candidate.

No doubt they'll try and circumvent it by putting up Ivanka or Junior as the candidate instead and continue the grift in such a fashion

Yup.
And his pension, travel allowance, and security detail (it'll be tougher on rikers Island I guess without).

He essentially becomes Joe public, although I'm not sure if he loses the title of president once he's ejected

well they finish on the 20th anyway but i'm not sure if they will stop while the process of impeachment is ongoing. probably not. they will end as soon as the senate convicts him.

Lost in the noise, one of the escaped mental patients that Trump retains as legal council is getting her comeuppance.

What makes you think Trump doesn't have a platform now that Twitter blocked his account?

Please reconsider your thought about what constitutes different rules for different people. Take the time to mull over this.

different rules for different people is unfair, that is correct. for the last few years a completely different set of rules have been applied to Trumps twitter account. they only banned him when they started applying the same rules to him that they applied to everybody else. There was a guy who setup a twitter that posted the same text as trump, verbatim. he was banned 4 times in the first 6 months.

If you were in America, I reckon you'd have been on Capitol Hill the other day with the rest of the rednecks.

FYI- on CNN earlier today, an ex Republican Senator said "Trumpism is dead- it has no sustainable ideals, it's a cul de sac that the Republican party have now to back out of"

Even if a few million Americans think that Trump is god, at most, it will become a right wing facist minority wing of the party that will disintegrate over time.

No need to mull the obvious.

When the former prime minister of Malaysia declared that Muslims have a right to behead french people on Twitter...what happened?

When China congratulated itself on its genocide, what happened?

That's all okay in your book, is it?

Will you be be going across the social media landscape condemning these things today? Will you have as much fervour in celebrating the potential ban of such people?

I'll make the assumption that you don't give a flying shyte about hypocrisy.

Something for you to reconsider, boy.
