    The problem is the platforms have allowed Trump to lie for over 4 years. Trump's lies are so big and ugly that ignoring it was a problem. The people are tired of the liar in chief spreading fantastic stories. You will not get a reprieve from Trump. He has no values and no conscience. He says what he thinks will help him. He listens to nobody. We turn to those that give him a method to pass lies and hope they have consciences. They are like Trump. If it makes money they will do it until they are forced to stop. We are at a turning point. It smacks of censorship. But some people are bad enough that they create an army that rises against them.

    Yep. I think Twitter created a policy re. elections interference if I recall. They block a lot of Russian bots. trump crossed the line when he specifically lied about elections. That's the caveat.


    He's still free to lie about everything else, evidently.

His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    He can't control the news cycle w/out it......... He & his fans would need a new mass outlet while the courts go over it up through the election.

    Poor trump, he was going to win but for the virus, oh & the lying.

    Those entities are not people and cannot talk, Free speech for corporations is an absurdity. It was a horrible decision that should be changed. Money does not talk either.
