Is Twitter a platform or publisher?

Wise up yourself; SM seek platform protections but act like publishers with there bias/editorial discretion while being immune to lawsuits (Unlike other publishers with editorial discretion which you are arguing for). You cannot have it both ways, especially being subsidize by tax payers' dollars (PSA, FEMA, NOAA, etc...)

They haven’t lost their minds. They’ve been ordered to do so by the Deep State.

Did you really think that Twitter, Google, Amazon, etc were companies made for profit, capitalism? No, they are non profit shell games manufactured for data harvesting and information control. Their stock prices have been artificially created by an elaborate trading system to create a monster machine.

It’s just a coincidence that all these companies are started/ boarded/ propped up by leftist organizations and people?

Possibly but, as I understand it, that could only lead to civil actions. They could not otherwise be compelled to stop their censorship practices the way government could.

The obvious (but by no means simple) answer to all of this is for conservatives to start our own social media platform.

Twitter knows they are anti-trust toast if Trump wins reelection and is doing everything in its power to keep that from happening.

Nope. They’re is a big Anti Trump story that the NYT’S is holding back for last minute. As a matter of fact I also heard reference to the fact that the Wall Street journal was doing the same. They will have to drop it soon.

The way to fix this is sue right NOW.

When they try to dismiss under Section 230, argue (and rightfully so), they’re misusing Section 230 as a publisher, and are therefore no longer under its protection.

Get Lin Wood to ask for several $$$ Billion in damages.

Simultaneously, get the FEC to charge them with election interference.

It is a known fact that Google has had NSA spooks in their data centers from day one.

The 1st Amendment forbids government from interfering with free speech (among other things). But that prohibition does not apply to private companies. Altough, companies that receive gov’t contracts or otherwise receive gov’t funding can lose said contracts or funding. I don’t think Twitter falls into either category, though, nor is it a part of the government.

Twitter receives government exemptions.

Add to that, at this point in time, they are a monopoly.

Add to that those government exemptions were big part of them becoming a monopoly.

Add to that there are (unconstitutional) election laws that we all are subject to.

Two things coming up I think.

1. Trump’s Twitter account will be suspended for awhile before the election.

2. GW Bush endorses Biden

They all know a second term he will be unleashed. Trump has written entire chapters on revenge and payback. No one in the history of forever has been treated the way he has. You think he’s going to just let it go? Even if he can’t get support from DOJ, they will be exposed in ways that cannot be denied.

“These people have lost their minds....”

No, they have not. The evil b@stards know exactly what they are doing, which is protecting the Biden campaign.

If it is determined that manipulating Tweets was done to illegally influence a Presidential campaign there will be serious consequences. I saw that in the Mueller report...

Isn’t that exactly what is happening to Biden? Even if he wins, he will not be able to get away from the stink. He has been compromised by foreign intelligence and everybody knows it.

Couldn’t some U.S. Marshals show up by now at Twitter HQ soon with arrest warrants for clear violations of their users’ First Amendment rights as American citizens??

The 1st Amendment has nothing to do with regulating censorship of a private organization, if they want to be akin to a newspaper or a radio station with edited programming. They can censor whomever they want, but also be responsible for ALL the libel and threats and fraud that happens on their journalistic platform.

If they do not want to be subject to such laws, they have to be mere purveyors, and let others worry about the content (being allowed to restrict things like kiddie porn etc. and harassment, just like the phone company is).

“It’s just a coincidence that all these companies are started/ boarded/ propped up by leftist organizations and people?“

Actually, there is an alternate explanation besides Vast Left Wing Conspiracy:

The Progressive Movement (Marxism, Collectivism, Socialism, Tyranny) depends on deception. Individuals must be tricked into giving up their freedom.

It is as simple as that.

All would-be tyrants have that in common: they naturally seek to control mass communication and media. It doesn’t have to be coordinated or even deliberate.

One tyrant is not necessarily allies with another - acquiring communication networks, dominating educational institutions, influencing cultural trends, creating fake news narratives... propagandizing is their default behavior.

Another thing would-be tyrants all have in common is their enemy - the truth.

President Trump is a truth-teller, and that is why there seems to be a coordinated attack on him. But just because you are being attacked from all sides doesn’t mean it is a coordinated attack.

It is like venturing out into the forest where there are lions, tigers and bears; Yes, they are all vicious. Yes, they are all hungry. Yes, they are all cunning and all out to kill you - but no, they not necessarily in league with each other.

After a million years of evolution and being outnumbered by wild animals, here we are at the top of the food chain - because the wild animals can’t coordinate their attack.

We saw that the other day as Nancy Pelosi lost her cool and attacked Wolf Blitzer of all people. We see that as the globalist open borders liberals conflict with the labor union liberals. We see that as the peacenik civil liberties liberals conflict with the big brother deep state liberals.

If President Trump gets another four years, he might know how to trick them into devouring each other.

Right you are. That’s why he was the choice. He’s blackmailable, by whom ever is running the show. If he would win, he would agree to shuffle around, pretend and do nothing. They never could have got Bernie to do that.

One of Twitter’s senior communications managers used to be Kamala Harris’ press secretary.

Is this all starting to make sense now?
