    It’s been said numerous times in this thread but I have to say it again. We all have our opinions and thoughts. But we never get “over the top” with the insults or whatever you want to call them.

    Props to everyone in the water cooler and Bowhunting.com.

    Its not hard to look up, people have been getting blocked, banned, or losing out on monetization for expressing opinions and views on those sites I mentioned. Guess it's just coincidence they're more often than not conservative leaning creators.



    What's amusing is we're talking about the POTUS "whining" about twitter, or whoever, censoring certain content. When that in itself is happening because the same POTUS was "whining" the news was fake earlier in his term and everyone said that was bs too. But now everything gets fact checked and criticized for being fake news.



    Maybe people just shouldn't believe everything they see on the internet.

    Their sandbox, their toys, their rules. You agreed to them, along with giving away your data when to set up and account and /or downloaded the app.

    You did read the EULA, didn't you?

    The daily show was on fake news long before trump started ranting.

    Perhaps instead of blaming the social media, let’s take a look at what those groups were posting and why they got banned. I am sure they are all innocent.

    Doubt saying something untrue goes agaisnt any guidelines or standards set in the agreement to join. If that was the case nobody would be on social media. And there again is the problem, these sites cant pick and choose what goes against their "rules." I'm all for the consequences of what you say or do and not hiding beind some imagined denial of rights. But I also expect these sites or anyone to be consistent and not cherry pick.



    Here's a interesting read on social media censorship

    And yea, I always scroll to the bottom and hit yes. Ha

    HAHA I told myself to add in that Trump didn't invent "fake news" but decided agaisnt it. Shoulda knew better. I'm guessing he's not the first to bring up Twitter either, just to get that out of the way

    What? Like having separate msm aligned to your views, so folks can stay in the echo chamber of their team?

    speaking of Fake News

    https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/video-does-not-appear-to-show-george-floyd-resisting-arrest/

    This headline and article are lies. Plain and simple gaslighting. It's like they hope you will stop watching before the final 3 seconds.

    Watch to the end of the video, and you can clearly see the decedent flop to the ground and resist being placed in the squad. Yes, he's cuffed, but yes, he does resist. Then another squad pulls up and blocks view of what happens next.

    That doesn't mean what the officer did with his knee on the guy's neck (the video we have all seen) was warranted. That video is bad and damning enough. Why does the Post (and others) feel the need to toss more fuel on the fire with a false narrative? It's sick. Demented even.

    correct; the news media initially led the charge. But then this social media-based economy came along and said "Cable News? That's cute. Hold my beer."

    BTW there are alternative social media platforms (forums excluded) e.g. Go Wild with a bias toward outdoors activities (including hunting)
