Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election

[BartenderElite]

Once again, "censorship" is woefully misused.

[Earl]

The First Amendment only protects you from censorship by the government and there are only a few exceptions.

What a shock, right? They have no idea what real censorship and real oppression look like. They are the most thin skinned whiny babies on the internet.

JPP can ban you too for violating their arbitrary posting rules.

JPP bans for 12b.
Ideally they should not but I think it's because of financial culpability getting sued)

You can't sue Twitter or FB -plus the matter of scale makes them a public square while here we are just some dudes in the back alley who like to bicker

once again you fail to make a coherent point
They can pull down Tweets and FB posts as well -what else would you call that?

[Trumpet]

Would you object if Twitter banned FINGERS Biden, Trumper?

Of course you would.

Earl, if Biden starts to fib like Trump then he would deserves it.

Private ownership.

It's amazing how you can't seem to grasp that concept.

[BartenderElite]

You just knew Trump's loyal followers were going to be up in arms about someone FINALLY calling him out for posting endless conspiracy theories & falsehoods. Gotta protect that right to lie.

it also protects the press- but social media is much larger in scale then just a newspaper.
Again it's how Americans ( and people worldwide) use our free speech rights.
It should be unfettered just like the old "public square" -if you don't like what was said the recourse is to make a reply, not have some corp. dweeb interfere

POTUS has free speech rights like anyone else in the USA

They are not the public square. They are privately-own platforms. If you want to make the argument that the internet is a public utility, then perhaps you could make the argument that these types of platforms shouldn't be censored, but I seriously doubt that you believe the internet is a public utility (and thus, a public right) because that would mean the dissolution of all ISP's.

ziggy;

Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election

I've heard that Trump is trying to interfere in it as well.

[Earl]

Earl, if Biden starts to fib like Trump then he would deserves it.

If?

Fingers Biden woiuld never be banned no matter what he posts, Rumper. You know that as well as I do.

Twitter needs to register as a political action group...so do CNN and MSNBC snd most of the media.

Also, Trump isn't being censored at all...Twitter is adding to his tweets a link you can choose to click on or not.

The old "public square" was public. Twitter is private, and can control their content.

To suggest that a "reply" from a regular citizen to a President that has millions of followers & the bully pulpit is somehow equal - especially when trying to counter a blatant, damaging falsehood - is ludicrous.
