Fellow FReepers, This petition just went up on Whitehouse.gov. It only has 5K signatures out of min 100K needed. We MUST make this petition hit Way more than the Anti-Trump petitions that have 300K signatures. The First Ammendment is ours to lose.

I went to the site and I think I signed it. I entered my name and email address and clicked the button that said "sign now."

Is that it?

CNBC:

Trump: Facebook, Twitter, Google are ‘treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful’

Trump said in a tweet that Google’s search engine had “rigged” news story search results to show mostly “bad” stories about him and other conservatives.

He later criticized Facebook and Twitter.
He says Google is prioritizing left-leaning outlets and warns that the situation “will be addressed.”

The president’s comments come a week before Google, Facebook and Twitter testify before Congress.

Larry Kudlow, Trump’s economic advisor, says the White House is “looking into” whether Google suppresses positive articles about the president.

The last few petitions I’ve signed all have an identical problem. It sends an email back to me for confirmation, but the confirming link doesn’t work. Same is happening here.

Now what?

The President should request that Congress pass legislation prohibiting social media platforms from banning users for First Amendment-protected speech.

Should they then pass legislation prohibiting me from banning people from my home for First Amendment-protected speech? Eff all that.

This is not conservatism. Create and grow competition. If the big companies crush the competition, then there is anti-Trust litigation. But in the first instance, just take your personal data and opinions to a different forum.

Full disclosure: I hate! f$#@king Facebook! I can only stand so much social media or talkative, cheerful people in real life. I tried twittering, but got bored very fast. Peace and quiet and a good book are more interesting.

I went a step further, I sent to “Contact the White House” my idea of “Fake Searches” ...I told PDJT team to run with it; it is easy to understand, relate to, and insults and attacks Google, Twitter, etc.

“Fake Searches”.

If PDJT says this, I will walk on clouds for days.

The solution is pretty easy. If these monopolistic social media platforms engage in one-sided policing, their indemnity for content posted by users is removed.

Hit them in the wallet.
