People on Twitter, including candidates for office, may not claim an election win before it is authoritatively called. To determine the results of an election in the US, we require either an announcement from state election officials, or a public projection from at least two authoritative, national news outlets that make independent election calls. Tweets which include premature claims will be labeled and direct people to our official US election page. Translation: Trump will not be permitted to say he won when all the dems are lying about how he lost.

Twitter, facebook, etc could care less about conservative sites and talk radio. Theyre not going to change conservative minds. They are going after the swing voters, the ones who get their news from social media.

Yea, the Presidency of the United States can’t just get on T.V and say that he won (if its not tweeted it didn’t happen). If they concern is people running with it let’s be clear. The moment the President claims victory everyone will have to deal with that. Period. He will be speaking on behalf of 60m people. That doesn’t just get swept under the rug.

My thought exactly. Their servers can stand only so much.

This whole election just seems like a conspiracy right out in the open. And we are somehow being shamed into not saying anything.

Sure, they are.

It does sound dumb to state a certain candidate won before they did. This sounds like common sense. Im know thats in short supply now a days.

I doubt any of them will be on the radio at 8 oclock election night. Rush especially since his show is 12-3 weekdays.

They will find themselves rendered irrelevant as people tune into sources that ARE reporting the news.

And this is why I come to FreeRepublic for my news. I trust my fellow FReepers will get the news out faster and uncensored unlike those criminal, leftist orgs called twitter and facebook.

I LOVE Parler I dont even understand how twitter works and the people there are SCUM!!
During the 2016 election, I was following Bill Mitchell on twitter and he had the best analysis of everything going on. So I was pretty confident that Trump would win. Frank Luntz, on the other hand, was lost at sea. I felt bad for everyone listening to him or anyone else in mainstream media.
You're right about the detractors. I had never seen such hatred. A bunch of miserable malcontents were mercilessly maligning Mitchell. Those tweets didn't age well.
and yes it's a much friendlier crowd on Parler.

You wonder how the human race managed without FB and twitter for so long, right?
Sheesh.....
Although I do have to say that as long as they remained uncensored, they did serve a very useful purpose. It was a source for info that the media did not control enough in 2016 for Trump to use it to his great advantage.

Easy work around, post just a picture of the President, no text of any kind, just a picture.
I suggest his official Presidential portrait.

Vijaya Gadde, whose title reads Legal, Policy and Trust & Safety Lead, and Kayvon Beykpour, a Product Lead for Twitter and co-founder or Periscope, announced the draconian changes on the official Twitter blog:
Why are filthy foreign H1Bs controlling access to our information?
Vijaya and Kayvon are not your typical American names.

We need to contact OANN, NewsMax, RSBN, and others pledging to stay live all night and making the calls. They need to start advertising that they will be live. They could contract with different election experts, Bill Mitchell, The People Pundit, our own LS, Ravi, bort, SpeedyinTexas, and others.
The media already dismisses right wing media, so there's no risk of losing reputation. But if they announce accurate results, they will be heroes to those on the right.
