BREAKING: President Trump to sign Executive Order on Social Media Censorship

Developments to follow (if any) Developing story...
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
And in the USA there has been utility regulation for over 100 years.
Odd to see such blatant ignorance here.
Yeah, and we’ve had unions and all sorts of stuff for a long time. All kinds of regulations.
From the left.
Ah, so government regulation is ok if ‘we’ do it. Got it.

While you have a “point”, our very existence hangs in the balance.
Just ask the Jews in Germany who sat silently as Hitler strengthened his grip...
Time to rise and fight fire with fire.
I am not talking about unions.
I am talking about utility regulation to prevent the rise of oligarch fascism and the stifling of free speech and free thought.
but your mileage may vary
Well you lost to Godwin right away, oh well.

Some liken this to govt interference in private businesses.
NOTE These are not private businesses——these are publicly-held companies subject to SEC laws.
They raise money from the public and are traded on the stock exchange,
They “say” they are common carriers-—like planes, trains, cabs, buses........
Twitter is not a common carrier-——it is a publicly-held company subject to the laws of the SEC.

Exactly right. In 2016 google alone accounted for a 10% polling difference in favor of Hillary. Despite the best efforts of Google, Facebook, Twitter and the main stream media, Hillary still lost.
It is now 2020. Do you honestly think these American enemies will make the same mistake twice? They most certainly have learned what they need to do to steal this election. Fortunately for all of America they have pinned their hopes and dreams on a senile demented old fool.
...
That’s where mail in votes and harvesting come in...showing an overwhelming number of votes instead of electoral college and the MSM backs them causing chaos. That’s their plan. And using Twitter, Facebook, Google to accomplish it.
Your comment is absolutely senseless.
Thank you and you provide some sanity over this to some
Laura Trump just joined Parlor, Eric Trump just joined and Katrina Pearson did also, NOW we need POTUS to put outa tweet and get his followers there SCREW Twitter!!
...
What if he shuts them down for a few days until they improve their board, their censoring,etc., and at the same time, quite Twitter and Facebook encourages all to join Parlor and Gab?
The “free market” solution won’t work. Certain things get entrenched in the public’s mind - and that’s that. Why aren’t there 1,000 successful sites competing with Ebay? Or Paypal? Why do people always call it “Scotch tape”? Because people are creatures of habit and things get entrenched.
To pretend that some no-name social media platform is suddenly going to rise out of the earth to compete with Twitter is nonsense. Something’s got to be done with the systems that exist now.
Frequently. And you?
are people here really trying to label Twitter as some public utility? give me a break!
for anyone who supports this, what if Biden became president and forced FR to allow liberal post their anti-Trump crap? freedom of speech doesn’t apply to private companies. i can’t go into my employer spewing anti-semetic garbage and cry out free speech when i get canned.
best move POTUS can make here is to get off Twitter and tell his supporters to boycott the platform. the only time you can force change in these big companies is by damaging their stock price.
do you have a link to Parlor.. or it is just a phone ap. Im on my notebook now and when I did a search saw some interesting Parlors of bygone days.. I unfortunately let my phone discharge but can check later
He does. And the ads this fall for the Biden campaign will just write themselves. The President of the United States using the power of his office to punish private businesses solely because they made him mad? Good thinking. What could possibly go wrong?
It’s hopeless man. These people on this thread are damned and determined to allow Trump to be a dictator against private businesses and will fight you to the death about utilities and publishers and so on. Often contracting themselves and each other.
All I’ve seen is that the end justifies the means and it’s ok if our side does whatever it wants. Of course when a dem is prez again they’ll be singing the opposite tune.
You’re a fool. Big tech billionaires have cronies in the government and activist groups on the left they censor on behalf of these groups and politicians. THEY ARE GOVERNMENT CENSORING VIA PROXY.
The left and dems have been censoring and targeting us for a couple of decades but you keep hiding and playing a puritan of the 1st amendment.
Well it’s good to know the ends justify the means.
