Twitter Is The Enemy Of The American People

Thought this post was interesting! I don't do Twitter but I know many do..

Twitter is destroying American freedom to enrich itself.

Twitter can have a policy against its site being used to propagate misinformation for political purposes. I don't think anyone has a problem with that, do they? So then yes letting the Russian, Chinese, Iranian governments spout misinformation on their site, definitely they can be criticized for that. I disagree however with the argument put forth by the article, that because other dictatorships can spout misinformation on Twitter, politicians in the US should be allowed to do the same. All the criticism over Twitter bans of late skips over the why of it, what was done in the first place with the Twitter account that led to the ban. People ignore what posts led to the ban, skip over those entirely, so they can substitute the argument that the ban was for political reasons only. In my opinion, when anyone complains about someone getting banned from Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram, they should also discuss the actions that led to the ban in the first place.

The point is, if they let the others do, they should not band other for doing it! Either all or none and not band only a few. It's strictly playing political..

I agree and if that means they get kicked out of Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc., then so be it.

No one remembers the gay cake ruling?

Yikes. You can't trust Twitter? I hate gay cake. I hate anyone that would eat gay cake. I think they should be banned. Everyone I know thinks so too.

I don't know how Zuckerberg sleeps at night. I guess 90 billion buys some very nice pillows. Oh,wait, he's the other one.

What kind of ******* idiot would post anything on twitter? Stop me.

Rumors of a social media merger involving Instagram/Twitter/Facebook. Caters to 95% of current users.

Define "misinformation" ? I recall seeing a TV program years ago on defining journalism and trying to set some boundaries, I recall Phil Donahue answering someone who urged such standards by saying "I'm the news and you're not !"
