As a private company, I don’t believe this would be wrong, but if it was done at the behest of a government official, or the opposition candidate, then that’s a major deal.

Hell Twitter's as private as a National Park.
And it's being legally defined in the public square in real-time.

So now conservatives want the government to tell private businesses how to run themselves?

If it's not private, how was Elon able to buy it?

i think most of us would rather tell the government to stop fucking around in private businesses. I mean how many fbi/cia agents need to work at the largest tech companies actively suppressing political speech/scientific expression in regards to public policy, even in opposition to ownership as we just saw with Jim Baker, before we think there's a problem.

$500 bet section 230 finds its way to the executive branch with Elon now at the helm.

Unfortunately the gobernment has put its fingers in everything and we now work for them instead of the gobernment working for us as intended.
I just find it interesting that each "side" acts like the other "side" is wrong for doing exactly what they are doing.
Is Truth Social and other "conservative" sites not doing the same thing the other side is doing.
For the record I hate both parties but can't stand racism and anti gay/trans bs so apparently that now makes me a liberal instead if just a human.

you got any credible accusation of this actually happening, at the behest of the government? Because if you did I'd happily call that shit out as well.

Trump didn't use the government and social media to sway the voting and turn the election to his favor?

 

[Kingtony87]

are you accusing trump and his admin of demanding that a social media company censor a private individual or an opposing politician and they acquiesced???

maybe it's just me but i have seen absolutely zero evidence this happened.

But if you got something I don't know about, I'd be happy to look at it.

And if it's legit i'd be equally as pissed as the Biden campaign, admin, and unelected federal agents doing so.

The same way phone companies exist.

We can go round and round this but Trump himself said he sent government officials to Florida to interfere and make sure DeSantis won. He also called officials from the white house telling them to make sure he won the election. He tried to dissolve the post office so people couldn't vote by mail. He used docisl media to cause a insurrection....

But I guess that's the same as a President requesting twitter to not publish unauthorized pics of his sons dick to yall.

It isn't about dick picks brother

It is about a family completely compromised by multiple foreign governments

The whole thing runs on blackmail(both "sides") and Biden's giant pile of it was suppressed and ignored/excused at the most important time as voters were making decisions

The dick picks and inappropriate sexual behavior is also concerning and part of the blackmail, but to generalize it as simply dick picks is kinda silly in my perspective

FYI He wasn't president at the time, just a former VP and career puppet/politician.

So the Trump family isn't completely compromised by multiple foreign governments?
