Or else.....

I do think that both FB and Twitter leave Mr. Trump alone because he does not take any and excuse my American English “crap” from them.

Dunno. Wouldn’t go within a mile of Twitter, but I like Facebook. I get to follow my favorite authors and subjects.

I see no reason why any God fearing man, or even a conservative type, would support any social media platform. By using them, you support them. I’ve dropped out of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr et all as I refuse to support them in any way.
Of lately, I’m very finicky about who I do business with. Where I bank, where I eat dinner and who I buy clothes from. Amazon is also on my sh-t list for the owners efforts to bring Trump down. We’re at war, folks. Start acting like it. Be as gentle as doves, yet wise as serpents.

Twitter, like must big corporations, is in league with the left and works to further leftist goals.

Growing up, we moved a lot. I appreciate Facebook for allowing me to find and reconnect with long ago friends. It has given me back my personal history. The other stuff I ignore. One friend invited me to join Twitter several years ago. I joined and then found out that people you don’t know could ‘follow’ you and know your personal info. I resigned Twitter and the message was ‘if you resign, you will never be able to open another Twitter account’. Fine with me. I use Facebook for keeping in touch with people I actually know. Nothing more.

I just heard that Milo Yiannopolis got permanently banned from twitter.

Double standards favoring the left. They’re everywhere these days.

This is rapidly becoming a totalitarian country.

Death threats against eeevil Republicans are not considered "problematic", I guess.

Twitter has a right to be as unfair as they choose; we have a right to ignore or to castigate them.

True but they should be honest about who they are--A liberal company. that way peope will know what they are about and can chjoose to reject them if they don't like double standards.

BTW someone should come with an alternative to twitter that believes in free speech for all not just liberals.

Not sure about that, Red.

I'm a big 1A guy, but Twitter, Facebook, and social media are exclusive monopolies of the Left. That's no accident.

As such, they are dangerous, inflammatory public weaponry of the 21st century, selectively wielded and exploited by subversives. Their primary goal is advancing Leftist propaganda through the personal destruction of conservatives.

Amen.

Problems:

1) Conservatives don't have all the free time that the unhinged and progs/liberal seem to have.

2) Conservatives don't entertain themselves by gossiping, rumor-mongering, and using social media as a means of advancing propaganda and bullying/destroying others.

3) Conservatives are mostly a demo that is capable of communicating freely, articulately, civilly, and honestly. We do not require medium that caters to misfits, the insane, and political operatives.

I positively agree with you Jim....Facebook,Twitter, and all others of their ilk are tools of the devil that I have no part of.
