🚨BREAKING🚨

I'm calling on the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, & Reddit to testify at an Oversight Committee hearing on October 8.

The hearing will examine the radicalization of online forum users, including instances of open incitement to commit politically motivated acts.

@RepJamesComer

The politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk claimed the life of a husband, father, and American patriot. In the wake of this tragedy, and amid other acts of politically motivated violence, Congress has a duty to oversee the online platforms that radicals have used to advance political violence. To prevent future radicalization and violence, the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit must appear and explain what actions they will take to ensure their platforms are not exploited for nefarious purpose.

OK this should be interesting Freepers, considering some of the discrepancies?

Particularly with Discord I think....

So glad I am not in that business.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.

I had to grapple with “free speech” versus “hate speech” and victimology decades ago.
Someone’s a victim and someone is being censored. In fact, everyone is a victim somehow.

It’s just not worth it.

It’s like they say in war games, the only way to win is not to play.

Sad times.

Forrest Comer wants to showboat on another issue the idiot has no intention of doing anything about...

Congress? Congress? They've either had their safety and security threatened by the deep state, or they've been paid off by the Mexican cartels, the Ukrainians (with U.S. taxpayers' dollars), the Israelis, the Saudis, and the Chinese.

The REAL United Nations headquarters isn't in Manhattan at One Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. It's at the Capitol Building in Washington, DC.

Discord, Steam, Twitch, & Reddit

Sounds like a California law firm.

I’m guessing they didn’t include Bluesky because they’d either ignore it or not care.
From what I’ve read, it’s a REAL cesspool.
