if he can shut the president up/off, he can shut down any of us up...
TOS violations. Even his dumb kids still have active accounts along with many other right leaning folk. If you violate terms, incite violence like saying Pence should be the first for the firing squad, you could get banned. Not sure why the obvious keeps going over your head.
Maybe you should take me up on that Hooked on Phonics offer so you can learn to comprehend a TOSLimiting ability to reach new people, removing followers, shadow banning people because they have different opinions isn't a violation of TOS.
Maybe you should stop making excuses for tyranny and censorship.
Grump was booted off these private platforms for repeated violations of their TOS. It’s not a censorship issue.
De facto censorship is more like...Grump calling any piece of news he doesn’t like doesn’t support him “fake news” - and refusing press passes to reporters who print anything unfavorable about him.
It wasn't just Pres. Trump. It was hundreds of conservatives including journalist that have been censored.
This is pure fascism (and of course not a left wing thing)
OMG. Stop using the label fascism. Fascism != censorship. Study history to learn what true fascism is. In the last days of this administration, in fact, the last 4 years, we have been living in very heated times. Exacerbated by people in power. Hopefully things will settle down with the new administration. But as long as people in power and those who have a large following have the ability to spew their hate-inducing messages, we're in for a long haul.
Social media mediates posts by two ways. AI algorithms and human mediation. They have a huge number of users so they need AI. It is impossible to use human administrators for every single post. As such, there will be false positives and innocent posts can and have been removed. As I highlighted in the first video of the Domaining Show.
Frank, did Epik accept Parler? No?
Doesnt seem like a “safe haven” to me:
dislike and disagree without engaging away @karmaco
The latest victim by FakeBook... Ron PaulIt wasn't just Trump. It was dozens if not hundreds of conservatives, including journalist that had their account limited.
It is censorship; doesn't matter if gov or social media company. They are now deeply related with executives appointed to position in the Biden administration.
You should be worried because things like this don't stop at people you don't like.
Fascism= Abuse of power
Democracy= Opposite of fascism.
Everything allowed in a war.
as they say
but an election is not war and shouldn't become
Trump made it a war
Abuse of power can and has happened under democracy and keeps happening. If you know well how things work you can manipulate any system of governance. There is no panacea in government. You can only hope for honorable character in your leaders.
In democracies fascist minded people can come to power, but they won't be powerful enough.
Wrong!
Dictators and fascists are first elected by democratic elections and then abuse the power provided by democracy!
Are you happy about it? It's sort of like the Jews in Hitler's Germany, right?
