Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and the FBI collude to silence
Conservatives and you don’t think here has been any violation
of Conservative’s rights.

You have heard of the FBI, right? You do understand it is
part of the federal Government, right?

If Black’s rights are protected by everyone including the
government and private businesses, why do I as a Conservative
have to endure a second class citizen’s status?

Comparing Twitter to a newspaper is a fallacious argument.

Newspapers cannot possibly publish every letter to the
editor.

Twitter can allow everyone’s posts to remain on the forum.

When information is blocked from being on the leading
forums, traffic wise, it affects public perceptions and
therefore elections.

“I don’t like what they are saying”, should not be a good
enough reason to silence people. If they are not lying
and what they are saying is true, it’s foundational to
our amendment rights. Why, because our Founders wanted
there to be open and free communication for this very
purpose.

It seems to me that at some threshold, these large
corporations need to be held to the same standards as a
utility. I’m not sure if that would protect Conservative’s
views or not.

This is too important an issue to simply allow these
massive companies to decide what will be heard and what
won’t.

I said no such thing.

I said Twitter has the right to monitor and censor it’s own site.

If the FBI gets involved, then there’s obviously an issue involving the First Amendment.

If PJDT is endorsing that the government get involved with deciding who is involved with moderating Twitter content, then I’m not on board with that either. To me, that would be the equivalent of burning down an entire house because there was a kitchen fire.
