Barack Obama warned tech firms they cannot keep their blanket protections that protect them from lawsuits in a sign Democrats could soon target companies like Facebook and Twitter.
In an interview with The Atlantic ahead of his memoir, 'A Promised Land,' being published on Tuesday, Obama charged social media companies with turbocharging the rise in misinformation that has led to greater division in the country.
The former president that disinformation is the 'single biggest threat' to democracy.
And he said President Donald Trump was a result of it.
'I think it is the single biggest threat to our democracy. I think Donald Trump is a creature of this, but he did not create it. He may be an accelerant of it, but it preceded him and will outlast him,' he told the news magazine.

That’s more than Bush did for Trump.
When it is all revealed
If you still believe that is going to happen, I've got a bridge to sell you. Wake-up!
He’s selling a book. He’ll be everywhere for a few weeks. Unfortunately.
If Biden gets sworn in, Obama will be back for the next four years. Through his former aides, who will compose Biden's staff, he will have his third term.
Why is Barack obama suddenly in every other headline?
Wait...Biden is really obama’s third term, right?
Facebook and Twitter: "Please don't throw us into that Section 230 Briar Patch!"
If Facebook and Twitter lose their Section 230 protections, they they will have the excuse to shut down ANY ACCOUNT they want, for any reason they want.
Ben Rhodes to Hillary Clinton, Sept. 11, 2012, who pushed the fraud: [Mostly peaceful] protesters in Benghazi, objected to a video.
The person who made the film, was jailed.
Of all people, CNN’s Jake Tapper is on record as opposing the Obama Administration’s fascism. Tapper said, effectively:
Clinton seemed to know from the beginning, that the attack was a terrorist assault against US personnel in Benghazi.
The bottom line is ANYTHING that Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, or any other big name Dem proposes, that might even SOUND fair and equitable at face value, is being proposed for anything but fairness.
The must be a political advantage in it somewhere...or they would suggest it.
like someone said..maybe to scare off Parler.
Or maybe it is a wink wink nudge nudge we are just trying to sound a certain way before GA election
Shakedown: Give us billions or you’re done.
Like the German Sturmabteilung (Brownshirts) the big tech companies have served their purpose.
Next comes the Night of the Long Knives.
So, I see Obama is back running things! What I got out of this, with its twisted words, is that the Republican/Conservative parties are not going to be allowed to publish at all because of its divisiveness thus leading to Donald Trump.
Trump has got to take this back, in the courts, in the congress, no matter what! After all, he did win, and won in a landslide. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised, if it were possible to get an honest vote, if he won all 50 states and with his powerful coattails, took the house and the senate.
That reads like a threat to toe the line...
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. “
That was disinformation (lies) generated by el Presidente rather than the media.
I agree with Obama on this particular opinion and would say it extends beyond the internet media.
My favorite solutions are competition among media organizations and an informed audience.
Let me guess: if the posting is anti-Democrat it will be taken down.
If it’s anti-Republican it will be left up.
Another double standard
So a lying gay loving swisher was POTUS for 8 years.
Calls his lover "Michael" on more than one occasion...Has a dude named Reggie Love on the side.
And had the choir director at the Gawd Damn America church he attended for years.. killed...At least the Grandma of the deceased was pretty sure it was Obama that killed him..or had him killed.
And nobody is the wiser...
This country is stupid.
of course they won’t be spared from the left—once the left realizes they are a waterfall of potential tax revenue money to be made, they will then come in their sights.
Hopefully it will end up costing $5 at the dollar store because no one wants to buy it.
I saw that with Hillary’s book a few years back.
I think this is aimed at Parlour and the new “racist” competition to Facebook and Twitter. The left won’t go after their social media, just ours.
“a lying gay loving swisher”
What part of
“internet companies cannot keep blanket protections from being sued, saying they ARE making ‘editorial decisions’”
Do you disagree with?
Anything that the Democrats would do to chasten Facebook, Google or Twitter would be a love-tap compared to what is in store for them should the president prevail in this election.
