The real threat of Russian ads on Facebook and Twitter

Yes this is all being done under the guise of "The russians used social media to steal the election from Hillary".

But, the real risk is that you will see a coordinated effort to regulate Facebook and Twitter. They will be somehow be labeled as public utilities. The goal of all statist enterprises is to control the flow of information. For the longest time, leftists were able to do that with the NY Times, Washington Post, CBS, ABC and NBC.

But, over time, information became liberalized with talk radio (thank you Reagan), Fox News and now social media.

I am not hear to defend Twitter and Facebook per se as I don't use either, but I will defend the free flow of information, even wrong information.

You use the word "right". I am not defending any right. Just pointing out what is at stake. And I am sure that there are those and obviously you will fall for it, that will say "We must restrict your freedom to keep the russkies at bay"

The reality is that countries have interfered in each others elections forever. The United States does it. Russia aka Soviet Union has been doing it here for a 100 years

There is ZERO evidence that Trump colluded with Russia
There is ZERO evidence that Russia changed one vote in the US

It is all left wing conspiracy, but if you want to give up your rights that is up to you.
 
There is ZERO evidence that Trump colluded with Russia

Please tell us just how you know there is no evidence. Does the Mueller team confide in you with their investigation? What you offer up is your opinion with zero facts to back it up.

I guess I am just taking Diane Feinstein's word for it. And I am 1000% certain that if there was one single shred of proof, it would have been leaked by now. They leak every other thing that they think is damaging to Trump and you think they are hanging on to this?


 
Your proof rests with the fact that there are no leaks- impressive my dear.
Can you even begin to count the number of times you have posted this, and the number of ID's you have used?
To me it sounds like the investigation should be terminated, since without a leak there is no proof of anything.

You don't think Diane Feinstein has any credibility?
 
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call ... The Twilight Zone."
