Hillary celebrates Twitter's decision to stop political advertising: 'What say you, Facebook?'
The Hill ^ | October 30, 2019 | John Bowden

Hillary Clinton doubled down on her earlier criticism of Facebook on Wednesday after rival social media giant Twitter announced that it would ban paid political advertising from its platform.

In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, Clinton appeared to dare Facebook executives to follow suit after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced the changes to Twitter's platform minutes earlier.

"This is the right thing to do for democracy in America and all over the world," she tweeted. "What say you, @Facebook?"

Of course.
Dems get billions in free advertising from the news media. This won’t affect them at all.

The ‘right thing for democracy’ is censorship?

Stifling speech and communication is good for “democracy”.

That’s how totalitarians think.

There's that word democracy again. I thought the Untied States was a Republic. Someone please tell our politicians.

When the GOP has ten times the cash, this makes sense.

It’s not an accident that they continually use that term

Likely a well hashed decision from one of the “retreats”

After all...who is supposed to be in charge of a “Democracy” if not Democrats?

Like I said on Twitter about this - the 1st Amendment means Americans have to learn how to hear any & everything and still be able to think for themselves. No Gov’t intermediaries or censorship.

Zuckerberg is a genius this way, which is why FB is up by $12 after hours while Twitter stock just tanked by 25% in the last three days.

And can I just say this - I wish a lot more Conservatives got onto TWITTER. That skanky place has nothing but liberal memes trending every day. We can FREEP a poll - how about doing it to Twitter (it is not that hard).

As I said in my first comment here, it's all coming together:

FBI chief says racist extremists fueling one another, making connections overseas

Yeah, ban ads, ban guns, ban free speech. Just the way the founders wanted.

The next step will be to brand Trump’s Twitter feed political advertising and poof he’s gone.

Facebook doesn’t give a tinker’s dam what HilLIARy says (I don’t care for Zukerberg but he can see that HilLIARy’s all washed up)
...
I wonder just how long the MSM will keep publishing her various missives and rants?

There’s a “homeless” bum down in front of the grocery with ten times the good sense than HilLIARy

This is election interference. All the liberal nonprofits that got IRS approval and have funding through groups like the Tides Foundation have a headstart and can continue to say “Hey, this is pro-choice education!”
