That is if they are still a platform by Jan 21. Big talk from little screaming socialists. De-platform them... for good.

And enforce Sec. 230.... don’t break up the company so they can make more money from the stock splits.. Grind them down to nothing... devalue them. Same with g888888gle and farce book.

Who needs government censorship when private sector takes the initiative. What a country.

I have no idea why Trump has continued to stay on Twitter, allowing Dorsey’s band of angry children to censor him repeatedly. Dump Twitter - it’s a toxic hell-hole of woke idiots.

I don't understand why Trump doesn't move, with his millions of followers, to Parler. Why does he support Twitter with his presence? He could even stay on Twitter while phasing into Parler. I just don't understand the reluctance to support a true, free-speech alternative to Twitter. If he moves to Parler, Parler will overtake Twitter in a few years. Same thing with MeWe overtaking Facebook. Heck, Rumble could even rival Youtube in a few years if we work at it. We need to do more than complain about Twitter, Facebook, and the rest---we need to support the alternatives.

I say if this happens, Trump goes dark and disappears from twitter along with the great conservative minds with huge followings. Trump has 80 million followers, Biden 20 million.

Let the daily news cycle feed on Biden announcements!

May Trump be wise enough to already have set up an alternate platform able to handle 100 million users...to truly discuss issues
Parler and Gab are not user friendly enough for this

Trump moving to another platform, exclusively, would greatly hurt Twitter’s stock value. Next, the update to the law to hold Twitter responsible for what they allow to be posted would be the nail in its coffin.

Folks, I would make sure your investments do not include such companies in the not too distant future. Mutual funds and ETFs often have these in their portfolios.

So you only want to post one line from your Neener Neener blog even though you spam FR with it all day long and never donate? And even though the entire blog is cut and paste from other sources that you didn’t write?

*********

Social media giant Twitter has confirmed it is working on plans to crack down on President Donald Trump when he leaves office, with possible actions including banning him from the platform.

Jack Dorsey’s company revealed they will seek to crack down harder on Trump’s personal Twitter account after he leaves office.

When the president eventually becomes a private citizen, he will lose the protections that Twitter offers to world leaders.

The change will expose Trump to the possibility of being more strictly moderated by the platform and possibly even banned if he continues to disseminate “conspiracy theories,” according to The Independent.

Twitter states in its “principles & approach” to world leaders that, “if a Tweet from a world leader does violate the Twitter Rules but there is a clear public interest value to keeping the Tweet on the service, we may place it behind a notice that provides context about the violation and allows people to click through should they wish to see the content.”

On condition of anonymity, a Twitter spokesperson told Forbes last Thursday that, if Joe Biden is inaugurated as president, Trump will lose that stipulation at noon on January 20.

The anonymous spokesperson also said the company does not have “special rules” for dealing with Trump.

Despite Trump’s status as the president of the United States, Twitter has been cracking down on many of his tweets since Election Day.

The majority of the post being targeted have questioned the integrity of the election results.

Twitter has been either hiding them or flagging them and linking to articles that assert the election results are trustworthy.

In the two days following the election, Twitter labeled 50 percent of Trump’s tweets, according to Forbes.

As The Daily Wire reported:

A glance at the Twitter page of Donald Trump two days after the election presents a truly remarkable sight: the sitting president of the United States, as an historically tight Electoral College vote is still being tallied, is being repeatedly censored by one of the world’s most powerful platforms.

To the applause of many on the Left, Twitter slapped its first fact-check label over a Trump tweet in May.

The platform rationalized the move by pointing to its newly announced “misleading information” policy, rolled out amid the COVID lockdowns.

The new policy blocks out initial posts, replacing them with “labels and warning messages to provide additional explanations or clarifications” on tweets that might present some “risk” of “harm” to the public.

Only after clicking on the censoring label can a user read the tweet containing the supposedly “misleading” or “disputed” or “unverified” claim.

Twitter intends to give Democratic nominee Joe Biden the president’s official U.S. government Twitter account on Jan. 20, 2021, regardless of whether President Donald Trump concedes, as The Daily Wire noted.

President Trump is threatening to repeal the protections social media companies enjoy

Trump has recently been stressing the need for a repeal of Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which protects social media companies such as Twitter from being treated as publishers.

In early December, the president revealed that he will veto the National Defense Authorization Act unless Congress repeals Section 230.

A growing number of people are calling for Twitter and Facebook to lose their Section 230 protections due to their manipulation of the content that users are able to see.

Critics say that Section 230 unfairly shields social media platforms from liability over items posted on their platforms.

Opponents of Section 230 have been vocal that tech behemoths like Twitter and Facebook should no longer be shielded as a neutral platform when they operate more like a publisher by censoring and removing content.

Without such protections from the US Government, Big Tech companies would need to dramatically alter their practices, or face being sued into oblivion.
