San Francisco (AFP) – Snapchat on Wednesday stopped promoting posts by US President Donald Trump, saying they incite “racial violence.”

“We are not currently promoting the president’s content on Snapchat’s Discover platform,” Snapchat said in response to an AFP inquiry, referencing the youth-focused social network’s section for recommended content.

“We will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover.”

I have a good idea...boycott SnapChat, Facobook, Google, Instagram, Rwitter, and any other anti-social Democratic propaganda web sites that are trying like anything to affect the outcome of the 2020 race.

When did the President incite racial violence?

Trump does not incite interracial violence.

This is absurd.

Obama did it constantly. His support for rioting thugs was
so over the top he was practically a co-conspirator.

Good luck, Snapsnatch, when the commie Chinks lob a nuke at your headquarters in San Fransicko.

War is coming.

Exactly. The only reason I click on fake news, which isn’t often, is to see what is the basis of the story; ie what did PDT say that the fake news outlet is so enrageous. So I looked at this one, and unless I ran past something without noticing it, this is fake news because it is absolutely baseless.

What is snapchat?

A social media platform that my fellow Millennials were "over" by the time we graduated college. I'm surprised it's even still in business. But the fact that allows you to exchange images which it then deletes all record of makes it ideal for traffickers in child porn. So as long as there are sexual predators there will be SnapChat.

Absolutely. Get rid of them, period. What is their purpose for existing?

It occurs to me that one way FR members can help spread our President’s messages.”Officially” invite him to post his messages and thoughts here on Free Republic. Each member can pass them along to everyone we know, via FB or e-mail. That might reach as many or more than Twitter. Most of us old folks don’t do Twitter anyway and we would love to make a difference in some way. Buried as “responses” to other posts Twitter deleters couldn’t find the messages as quickly. It could be set up here on FR same as the fund raiser thread. What do you think.

No one uses Snapchat anymore. It is over as a thing with young people. This is a desperate attempt to get cool points and remain relevant.

It is time Americans use the “power of the purse” remove the vermin from your life, Facebook, snap chat, google, amazon, Netflix twitter the list grows longer everyday. Those who support the anarchy and chaos they call peaceful protests, those in films, music, entertainment that are donating money to bail these animals out, those politicians that went belly up on you, rat state politicians that will arrest you for not wearing a mask and reopening when they dictate not to and refuse to protect you and your family and business while celebrating the rioting and looting they refuse to arrest, Friends and relatives that are taking a knee and denouncing their whiteness. Im done how about you?

Trump has never incited racial violence. He is leading our country to a country back to law and order.

The despicable fake news is again pushing the false narrative by calling this violent takeover of our nation as the “George Floyd riots”. NONSENSE. Thee are not riots fighting for Floyd!!!! That is devilish!!!! Floyd’s family rebuked this violence. This is thuggery, criminal behavior and the amazing leader president Trump is the SANE voice who is standing against this HATE!!!
Not so with power seeker Biden, power seeker Hillary, power seeker Fake NEWS.

Thank you O GREAT God for not putting Hillary as president. I pray in the name of Jesus that Biden, who has shown himself to weaken under political correctness will never obtain the honorable title he is not worthy of ever holding.

There is so much more to say as well....WHY are all white people being targeted for a crime we did not commit? I have nothing to do with hurting black people. I try to help them actually. But I DO NOT tolerate thuggery behavior in the name of a black person. That means I am actually loving the black community MORE than any stupid newscaster, stupid or power grabbing leader that says differently.

THIS IS MY PLEA...We need a wonderful Black respectable leader, How about Ben Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, a wonderful Asian leader, How about Francis Chan, a highly respected pastor, or Donghui Zang, a rising community leader, who has spoken out against bad policies and made much progress...For a wonderful Hispanic leader...How about Jovita Carranza, who Trump nominated to be Administrator of the Small Business Administration, On August 1, 2019, and a respected white leader, how about Mike Pence...How about they all stand up together to talk about the issues of lawful order. How looting, rioting, and harming others is not the way to solve anything...but it monstrous, hateful behavior.

I don’t really know Jovita Carranza or Donghui Zang...I just quickly researched someone who could be respected by both political parties....

I could see President Trump inviting all of them to address our nation...

Anyone have a different idea? Because I am going to write President Trump a letter.

Also, last night 5 of my friends and I got together to pray about all of this.

God hears our prayers.

My friend and I prayed that a flag on loan from the military (which was stolen by looters) would be returned. The very next day that flag was anonymously returned after we prayed.

I do believe God heard!!!!

What exactly does “currently not promoting” mean? Did Snapchat shut down his account?
