WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s top communications regulator said on Thursday he did not object to decisions by Facebook and Twitter to block the president from their social media platforms.
“Given the circumstances that we saw yesterday... I’m not going to second-guess those decisions,” Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai told C-SPAN on Thursday, according to a recording of the interview seen by Reuters.
Asked if Trump bore responsibility for the violent actions Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, Pai said “it was a terrible mistake to suggest that the results of the election, and particularly the process that culminated yesterday in the Senate and the House, could in any way be changed. That was a terrible mistake and one that I do not believe should have been indulged.”

What nonsense.
For months leftists did everything in the world illegal, yet NOBODY said a single word. Countless leftists were simply RELEASED.
A bunch of people who support Trump hold a big peaceful protest, in which ONE OF OURS was shot dead by “someone” and suddenly, it is TRUMPS fault?
What crap.
Sorry for the language.
Mod, feel free to delete, but I hope not.
>> that have blacklisted Trump
Yet we can financially destroy corporations overnight... but nevertheless do jack.
As we sink into the abyss of failure, I plan to beat the living shit out of the complacent asshole drowning alongside me.
Oh so everybody agrees to shun.
Terrorism is real.
There is the issue that these are private companies and they are hence are allowed a wide berth to choose their own rules. Do we really want BIG GOVERNMENT control over private companies. Don’t get me wrong, I HATE Facebook and tweeter but do we want to set the precident that a Biden admin can fine regulate FR or Palor?
Not only illegal but incited terrorists foreign and domestic with not a peep.
do we have no rule of law anymore?....every law is enforced or not at the whims of humans in charge....ridiculous....
Trump was the boy with the finger in the dike. His finger has been pulled away and now the dike is about to collapse. I can’t even begin to imagine what America will look like a year from now.
Whatever the Derp State says it is. Satan is running our nation now.
“Après moi, le déluge.”
Guess that why you will never win, you dont want to fight fire with fire, it is what it is.
Every backstabbing Swampman who Trump elevated to a high position can’t wait to denounce him and ingratiate themselves with the successor regime.
Trump pardoned Charles Kushner 2 weeks ago, and took some heat for doing it.
Now Charles Kushner is leaking to many newspapers that he is distanced from Trump has has no control over him.
Frankly 230 is not punitive enough. FB Goog and Twit should be nationalized and made part of the post office.
And censorship of content should be the same rules as applies to mail.
A full-blown mutiny of the opportunists
America is officially over, January 6th is the day the music died.
Amerika is born on January 6th.
The Revolution was televised.
Hail Hydra!
I like Trump a lot but he has done one crappy job of picking his aides, heads of agencies and cabinet members. It’s almost as though being disloyal was one of his selection criteria.
I trust more people see what you see but alas, most do not pay attention or are to scared to fight back.
JoMa
We must not ignore foreign sources that meddle in our internal affairs like Reuters or the Brit press.
They are just as much our enemy as the democrats and as such should receive the same response.
“I like Trump a lot but he has done one crappy job of picking his aides, heads of agencies and cabinet members. It’s almost as though being disloyal was one of his selection criteria.”
The republicans were the only pool available to him.
Had he chosen from outside that pool the GOP swine would have pulled their daggers sooner than they did.
Quit nitpicking it gets old fast.
