What? A bunch of private online social media platforms removing a tyrant from their platforms for inciting violence and insurrection against the world's most powerful democracy?

/me runs off to get a tinfoil hat before @Scouse tells me that worldwide censorship from companies is inbound.

The fact that they are doing it openly and people calling it out are tin hatters says everything about the slow but sure conditioning the masses are being exposed to.

Of course the people calling them tin hatters are given all the media time while those concerned are vilified.
By the very fucking people with the power who are doing it.

Again. Not what I asked you to consider.

Leave Trump and the current situation out of it - I gave a theoretical scenario to consider so we can remove current emotions from the question.

Like I've said, this isn't about Trump. It's about structures and power and who should get to weild it.

It is within their rights and ToS to do this. Move along.

Sigh, @Job. You don't even know when to just shut the fuck up and watch, do you?

Sigh, don't use their service then. Broadcast from the official residence of your office.

Sorry @Deebs. If Facebook or Twitter were as big as Freddyshouse or Barrysworld in it's fully-laden pomp I'd give you this completely.

But they now preside over the majority of public discourse.

That gives private companies way too much power.

You and me both passionately agree on ID cards for obvious reasons. As an issue this shits all over ID cards from a towering height.

No it does not. Simply stop using them for official messaging and they become irrelevant.

 

[Yoni]

They should not be, nor should they ever have been used for official messaging full stop.

I completely agree with his bans...

So what's the solution to private companies that have become what they are from nothing? You're saying certain people should be immune from suspension/deletion, depending on who they are? Yes, they're powerful, of course they are, but they have legal responsibilities just like any other online community. Trump used their platforms to spread misinformation, whip up his rabid followers with lies and incite violence, no legal team in the land is going to allow that to continue on a platform that they represent.

 

[Scouse]

It's not about the office of president - it's about public discourse - you and me.

 

[Scouse]

No. See above.

The solution, by the way, is to amend the US's freedom of speech legislation to ensure it does what it was originally intended to do - protect speech as a fundamental and indivisible right.

As I've said multiple times - that means wherever public discourse actually happens.

Respect the CoC !!

He still has that right FFS. He can do a televised statement from the WH. Since when has social media become the official means for any Government to communicate with their population?

 

[Scouse]

Actually, that was my last post for a while on this. It's clear to me that people can't separate this question from the Trump issues.

 

[Scouse]

Amend the CoC !!

FTFY

@Scouse and RustyRockets theorising that Trumpism is caused by economic inequality. Which bit of that causes them to wear t shirts for camp Auschwitz or proclaiming 6 million wasn't enough?

We need a tinfoil hat rating.

I reckon it would quickly become the most used reaction

Should surely of been followed up with a reply from the boy stating he likes to keep a certain level of maturity on his twitter account.
