It appears that it's not only Facebook and Google, but also Twitter that ensures no politically inconvenient, offensive or excessively critical language is distributed to the ignorant among us...

It’s corporate suicide for company to do this kind of thing.

It’s too easy to create a substitute. People dont like being told what to do.

Furthermore, “re-Tweeting”, “liking” and whatever else Tweeters (is that the proper term) do might actually lead us to believe that there are many more like us than we’d previously thought.

No...it is NOT “too easy to create a substitute”.

First, you have to find a conservative with the initiative and resources.

Second, you’d have to find a customer base large enough to be offended by current practices.

What could possibly sound more GAY than TWEETING on TWTTER? That name is part of the effort to normalize perversion!

Picture a man walking into a cocktail party and catching the attention of a gaggle of effeminate homosexuals twittering in the corner...

ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times and Washington Post
have nothing on Google, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo.

The Communist Dictatorship is almost here.

I would like to think so, but Facebook and Google seem to be going strong.

The future will be anti conservative. When you search for Reagan, search engines will put up "Reagan spread AIDS", when you search for Jesus you will get Jesus is not real".

Your posts will be hidden. Your accounts will be banned...

I am certain they use programs like (that horrid f--king) "brassring.com" to search your facebook and free republic posts. You will be disqualified if you belong to certain websites, or show a "pattern". The employers themselves don't even have to realize it, this can be a "setting" offered to each company's individual, tailor-made employment section. they can tell your local grocery store or gas station "just select THIS box if you want us to cross reference each potential employee's name with "radical" or "hate" sites.

And wait until THEY program the ROBOTS and the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE programs out there. you will be denied promotions, even terminated, by programs written by a scumbag leftist punk.

You may even be called in by the authorities, because the "internet" thought you were "mentally ill" for visiting a Christian website!

Just shows how out of touch you are.

With Twitter you can communicate to millions of people in seconds. Its a very powerful tool being used against us.

Just start digging around as to what Peter Thiel and Palantir Technologies is doing and you’ll realize that what you are predicting is already here. BTW, a campaign is using this stuff to compile lists of voters to be targeted.

Twitter, Facebook, and Google have received significant ‘investments’ from the Federal Government.

Facebook is the 21st century AOL and it will likely wink out just as unexpectedly.

Fascist Dictatorship to be correct. Private businesses teamed with or directed by a government agency doing the government's bidding.

I don’t like all the ads either, but trust me, you’ll survive the experience.
