Telling the truth and refusing to indulge in the fantasies of the mentally ill will get you censored.

Telling lies and indulging in the fantasies of the mentally ill will get you celebrated.

Where does Gloria Steinhem stand on all this business of "men" taking over "feminism"? I'd think she would be pissed.

The Supreme Court needs to fix this. When a private company has the power and authority to silence an elected government official the republic is gone.

It is a private company.

If you own a company, should your company be forced to accept messages promoting messages with which you disagree?

For example, if you own a "conservative" website, should you be forced to post messages praising obiden?

How about messages promoting the murder of unborn children?

They use section 230 to say they are not responsible for content but at the same time they editorialize their platform by censoring certain views. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.


At very least they should not be allowed to censor elected officials.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

So, is it a private company, and perfectly entitled to espouse whatever views it deems fit? Or is it a public forum, and therefore forbidden to censor views it disagrees with?

Boys and Girls, you won't find out for sure until it starts censoring liberals that it thinks aren't sticking to the official playbook closely enough.

They write the playbook, so they can bend the rules anytime they want.

Love to see people publicly saying out loud what we're all thinking!

Getting banned by any of the social (disease) media sites now is a badge of honor for anyone with still functioning gray matter.

Except for those of us who don't participate on those sites. Hard to get banned when you don't have an account...

Fix what? Do you not believe in the First Amendment? Twitter doesn't have to host any speech they don't want to.

Just fnn stop with this BS. You have been told so many times that they are getting special treatment from 230 and the law reads they must allow discourse. Our political system will not enforce our laws.

Then take away their 230 protection.
