Just like his idol, Teddy Roosevelt, it looks like Trump is going after the Big Media Trusts!!!
Trust Buster Trump! I like that...
Notice the DOJ goes to talk with Lawyers.
In 30 min I could give him the names of probably 100 engineers who have been silenced with threat of termination for even saying they voted for Trump.
Go back to sleep, Sessions.
You are WAY out of your league.
A baker can be required to bake for perverts, in violation of the baker’s religious beliefs and positive values. Logically, that means that a group of petty tyrants can also be required to provide a public accommodation for decent people in violation of their complete absence of religious beliefs and positive values.
There is a major difference between now and then.
Now, the Big Trust companies are crony companies conspiring with Big Government.
You should be able to type FIRE! in a crowded chatroom.
I think first they need to define and what point does social media become a public forum with an expectation of free speech and not a private service.
What’s the difference between facebook, twitter, and FreeRepublic?
Freerepublic states up front that it is a conservative discussion site. Specifically...”Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We’re here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We’re not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators.”
Facebook and twitter, don’t openly promote an agenda, but evidence is that they secretly promote an agenda.
It’s more than just the social media. It’s the MSM too. They’re no longer even pretending to be unbiased. Their licenses should be revoked and they need to be removed from the air. If they want to continue with a YouTube channel, no problem. Same with the university charters for academia. They’re also no longer even pretending to be unbiased. No more federal grant money or tuition money. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
Good. If freedom of speech is not forced to be applied to all private communications companies, it will not long survive in this nation.

I found it offensive when the head of Twitter gave a veiled warning to President Trump that no one was immune from being thrown off the platform. I hope conservatives get together and start a new type of Twitter. President Trump can tweet there and then the media would still have to report what he said that day.
It is one thing for a corporation to publicly announce they are ceasing to allow a point of view. It is bordering on anti-trust for several to get together and agree to censor a particular point of view.
