OK This really crosses the line ...
Twitter are now directly censoring Trump's tweets!
Do you think he should give up on Twitter and signup to an alternative like Parler(.com)?
Many banned/shunned conservatives are on that site and it's a very similar platform to Twitter.
If Trump left Twitter and signed up to Parler(.com) he would take many of his 80 MILLION followers with him!
It could be HUGE...
Discuss!
Good for you!
I’m still learning it but the interface is nice. I think it could really take off.
You know, as I think more about this, there actually may be something here for the “Fairness Doctrine” the Democrats were pushing a while back. Adding a couple of new rules:
1. You are either publisher or platform, cannot be both.
2. If you are a publisher, you have to state what political side you are representing.
3. All opinion pages, radio, TV shows not considered “news” has to state what political side you are representing.
4. Media representatives representing “news” shows cannot participate in any political functions or offer opinions. If it isn’t hard news, it isn’t news.
5. Every media outlet must have the same number of shows which represents both sides of the political spectrum. This will be reviewed every year to analyze financial stakes for the networks.
Failure to do so will result in a first warning, a suspension and finally removal.
Don’t ditch Twitter...pick a couple more, post at the same time on a couple other platforms.
Exactly so. And should the Twits get in their minds to censor his tweets, they'll have to consider that everyone will go to their competitors to see what provoked them.
That's not a smart business plan.
It’s a Parler Trick to get conservatives off Twitter.
PT should do the same.
Ever think about how Twitter was set up and highly promoted by the media in it’s early beginning? It went from startup to started in a matter of months. It was two easy for them.
I see what you did there...
AI will be used to block them in mass so people will have to be crafty in order to find ways to redirect or defeat the system, or post something different that exposes twitter. If there is enough push back from enough people, things will change. Twitter will have a bigger problem than the one they thought to have to start with
He should stay on Twitter however. Never leave the field of battle when you have your enemies on the run.
Trump’s campaign manager (@parscale) made a lengthy post on Parler saying they would like to use it and made some constructive suggestions on how to improve the platform.
So it appears to be ‘OK but not yet..’
6 months until the election you have to wonder if Trump can tolerate censored posts and his followers or undecided voters being spoonfed CNN and MSNBC propaganda in their newsfeeds or timelines on Faceook & Twitter.
The stakes are high.
I think the way Trump could REALLY screw Twitter is to just post links on Twitter taking folks to his posts on Parler and Gab!
Give them the number of any random motel or gas station you stop at, they will confirm it in 5 minutes and you are done with that.
Who is PT?
President Trump.
Nice list. Very creative and well thought out
