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.

I think bammie is threatening them. Don’t think the obama’s and their ilk want don’t the social platforms to go further left. Do the left’s bidding or else.
Looks like the wolves are done with the ones thrown from the sled now they’re going for the rest.
You will save 2500.00 a year.

Heck he’s ok with twitter and facebook censoring conservatives. What he’s concerned with is that they don’t censor conservatives ENOUGH.
What part of my post do you disagree with?
Touché
It’ll be like getting a pay raise!
Things are going to start going downhill fast now.
The socialist/communist changes will be attributed to Biden, not obama, even though it is his wish list. He’ll keep his legacy “moderate” for the history books.
He’s been running the show.
“touche”
I don’t have a high regard for Obama the person or for his “accomplishments” as president. Scholarly books will be written about Trump’s accomplishments but there will be no such books about those of Obama.
However, I fear our giant media and internet companies more than I ever feared Obama, so Obama’s observation struck a chord.
Obama’s presidency was really the Obama+media presidency.
Wide awake. You stay smug, happy, and freaking wrong. No idea- at all in fact. It’s game of dominoes, and obi-won is the final one. This is beyond anything any President has done, including President Johnson (1865-70).
Nixon was nothing— and spilled because his chief of staff Dean’s wife was a longtime whore in DC and her photo was in the DNC’s whore catalog book picked up in the burglary. The Rinos of their day- derp stater losers and chicken shites—like Baker-— should have been ignored. Impeach away— he would not have been convicted.
The FISA court abuse alone— ALONE-coupled with the skip and hop surveill of literally 10s of thousands of Americans by the great obamaumao.... it has a price tag. And he IS going to pay it. Watch him run to Qatar and the house they gave him there. Corrupt administration greater that Grants or Hardings.
...proving once again what an imbecile he is.
0bama continuing his push of Censorship and global Communism
