Your right OMG, Obama only spied on americans, weaponized the IRS ,race baited constantly, spent more time on the golf course than in the white house , weakened the US standing across the world, ect,ect,ect If any of you think that he hasn't been working on one of these companies to do exactly what Twitter did or even a deleting, you have been asleep for 4 years. The bias handling of opposing views, toward conservative posters. is well documented. Regular people have been complaining for years about these companies tactics. How they ever got the protections they have been hiding behind is mind boggling. For one thing these sites are not free never have been. Because in order to receive their service, people have to allow data mining on the accounts they make. This is clearly a transaction. A transaction that allows the company to obtain monetary gains in several ways.
I'm going to say it and I don't care. So many young and older blacks have died over the years that should not have. People with the possibility of bright futures or redemption. Yes some that perhaps the world is better off, though even with this, right is right and wrong is just wrong period. It is beyond unfair when one see the likes of those two rat bas-ards walking the earth for so many years.
Still clueless as ever. He doesn't have to "shut" them down. It's a process and he has started the process. He actually allowed THEM to open that door they've been hiding behind. He's just stuck his foot in ,no closing it now.
Nope, not a friend in the least. Can't claim to have voted for him either time. I used to be a pretty firm R but have found myself distancing from that in the last 3+ years. More of a middle-left person at this point.
Not a fan of the UI and there are glitches I've found in the app. Has a niche. Apart from that the self gratification and self promotion you'd expect of a social media site/app.
I know you're being sarcastic. My gut says he should NOT be intervening, but I'll have to read the order.
Executive Order. Governors Order. Go through the Legislature for Gods sake! Stop using this crisis to just blast off bs agenda based orders.
There, an intelligent stance...I just saw the press conference. Heads should be rolling at twitter. Got to give Zuckerberg credit but he has got to be pizzed with twitter sticking all social media in the ****e. You can bet there are some heated conversations going on. Then one needs to wonder. How far reaching will things go? Are these sites under protection now? If so will that remain?.
Oh watch the press conference they fully intend to do that. Like I said it's a process and notice how well organized in what they have done in a short time. They were poised for this and had their ducks in a roll long ago. He stated they have already prepared for an impending law suit. They are talking by partisan support. Love the posts, just make me laugh. He is a long range strategist period. P.S. He also never forgets ever, he shows a great deal of patience. Now it may not look like he does, but don't confuse response baiting with real patience.
You're not going to like that it was a typo. Meant, should >not< be... I don't believe the government should be constraining capitalism, unless there are warranted concerns, like: monopoly, demostrated negative impacts or concerns for interstate commerce, national security, sec or other market negative effects, etc
Quote from a friend : "I’m just happy to see most of the rioters in Minneapolis being safety conscious by wearing mask and social distancing while destroying their own city. #safetyfirst"
You need to go watch the press conference if you haven't already. If you have well, an understanding of the laws being referenced should be sought. Also consider the national security point you made. Because the suppression of one party over the other on a social media platform effects the nations election security.
Party politics <> national sercurity. It is part of our national disfunction. I have a disdain for politics. Press conferences are marketing events... For both parties. See above. OTOH, law (and in this case exec order) is black and white...
I'm just glad that during everything that is going on in today's world this is on his top 3 list of things to do. But yeah, the GOP has been crying/ranting about regulation put on industry for years, mostly oil and gas here in Oklahoma. Trump has been the deregulatory supreme since day 1 but now he is all butt hurt so regulations are the order of the day. Let alone government interference in a private business. It is ridiculously transparent that it's nothing more than political theater but I would expect no less from a reality tv star.
