Trump Signs Executive Order on Big Tech Censorship

[Jerome]

Saying that there are only two genders does not promote violence. Stating the fact that mail in ballots lead to voter fraud does not promote violence. They were not banning calls for violence they were editorializing which they are banned from doing as a liability exempt neutral platform.

He alleged fraud over mail-in ballots that does not exist. If he gets the privilege on the twitter platform to break forum rules due to his tweets being "in the public interest", then he also is subject to special rules that will ensure that the public interest is served.

Regardless, none of this has anything to do with the First Amendment, or free speech, or editorializing, because they're referring people to outside experts on the issue, which is their prerogative.

I don't give a fuck about the "two genders" tweet, and I can't imagine anyone being so fragile that they would, either. Go take a valium, pussy.

He's not ruling by decree like Obama did with DACA he is exercising his authority as head of the Executive over the FCC.

The FCC is an independent agency not under the president's authority. The purpose of being independent is to keep it out of politics--Trump is demonstrating why that is necessary.

[Doc Dutch]

The Constitution isn't at issue. They are in clear violation of FCC regulations banning platforms from editorializing, they are going to lose their liability exemption status, that is not a violation of the Constitution in any way, shape, or form.

Americans know "FCC regulations" aren't in the Constitution. They can change.

Twitter should shut down for a month just to see Trump shit himself.

Trump finally got after freedom of speech. Trump has attacked every institution and slaughtered the separation of powers. He has attacked and taken over the FBI, the CIA and spy agencies. he has castigated the judiciary and put Barr in place to make it work for him. He has destroyed the power of the Republicunt party. They all took the knee and follow his orders. He has put industry leaders in charge of the regulating agencies that once regulated them. We know how that is working out. He is assuming powers in a way not seen since Nixon.
Now he wants power over the press, twitter and facebook. It is good to be that king and the repubs are adopting a feudal response to his power.

"Horse mierda, Snowflake." This is how an intellectual invalid replies to a post.

Earl is a sad, senile groaner.

Sorry sport but the 1st amendment isn't at issue their status as a liability exempt neutral platform is at issue if they want to be a publisher and add editorial content and disallow other content based on editorial opinion then they lose that status.

Let us know how that turns out for you and the lying Orangetweet, OK?

You've got that right

I gave you the article the tweet that got her banned was for saying that men weren't women.

And I pointed out that the reason for the ban was harassment.

It's quite simple.

Now here's something for you to ponder. Why isn't Steven Crowder banned?

[AProudLefty]

Twitter should shut down for a week for "maintenance" just to see what happens. LOL

Oh God please let that happen.

They are not exempt from liability, they are exempt from what their users post. Editorial content is not the issue, it is being able to be sued for defamation, libel, etc.

[Doc Dutch]

Oh God please let that happen.

Agreed. I think most Americans would support the idea and give accolades to Twitter for being a great sport. It's a free service; it's not like the moochers members are paying a single cent to Twitter for their accounts. A voluntary shut-down for "maintenance" would an interesting exercise in What's What.

...and a possible Stolen Valor scumbag. I think he served, but his contradictory comments about what he did, his rank and the terms of his discharge are very odd.

Executive orders are exactly that. He declares laws or rejects others on his own sayso.This is as Trump, only Trump as you can get.
