Ah,Ahh now. In fact 'hell' is used as a 'mild' expletive but was more shocking a couple of hundred years ago.

Best news I've heard all day.  All politicians should be banned from social media.  Too many lies being put up there.

[Paul Henry]

Sixty five time censored POTUS. Biden zero this only underscores the educated from the uneducated, the truth verses lies and misrepresentations and who is the better communicator. Definitely proves that one should not send tweets in the middle of the night and if they are under the influence of ????? (POTUS needs to learn how to use spell check)

5 more days. That is all there is left.  Then I hope it is Hurray, Happy days are here

again. Oh,  and bye bye Donny!

Thanks webfact for your post

 

 

There certainly is a bias! Trump and his ilk are documented at posting lies. Or are you trying to tell me that in order to be fair, I must equally accept bot facts and lies? Trump = we have beat Covid ... blatant lie with 227,000+ dead Americans and increasing. Biden? Denouncing the handing of Covid and stating that a national leadership is needed ...

That is one way to go. Then there is no Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the press. We are currently trying to find a balance. Right now the dividing line seems to be between stating something approximating fact and out and out lying. We have Covid beaten ... indeed, as today’s new cases reach a new high.

No doubt The Donald thinks he knows more than the “fact-checkers” and “spell- checkers” ...

Can you give the reasons WHY Trump was censored? Something to do with statements that fact checkers searched and were found to be fake perhaps. Maybe because Trump has told 2x,xxx lies over the last 4 years or so.

Freedom of the Internet doesn't mean that bosses of the Internet can impose their political views on posts they disagree with on political issues. 

Neither does it mean that Trump can post anything he wants, whether it is true, or more likely false.

Trump only has to stop lying, hate baiting and disseminating dangerous misinformation (ie comply with the terms of service) and his posts won’t be deleted.

Be reasonable!

[teatree]

It isn't about censoring the odd Trump tweet thay is the issue.  It is the manipulation of information so that information negative to Trump gets posted but anything negative to Biden (such as the NY post bombshell about the Biden laptop) get buried.

It is about the truth getting reported and fake news not spread.

The New York Post story was censored by Twitter because they claimed, without any evidence (Dorsey admitted to it), that the information was hacked and every story claiming, also without a scintilla of evidence, that this was all tied to Russia or it was Russian disinformation was allowed.

 

Facebook restricted the reach of the story until their fact checking policy was complete but more than 2 weeks have passed without any conclusion by their fact checkers.

 

I feel sorry for folks who can't sort out what's going on.

It was censored because it was fake and never proven. 

[TKDfella]

According to the YT video Officers claimed that Twitter censored a Law Enforcement post about the Mexican Border wall.

I'm not sure, but I think Twitter later claimed that they did so in error. Hmm

I don't think trump and being reasonable somehow fit into a sentence together.

Cruz should remember when during leadership race Trump labelled him as lying Ted Cruz ! How soon they forget eh.Hopefully Mr Cruz will be out of a job soon.

Anybody who gets their information from  social media will see and hear what they want to and are reduced to being 'followers'. 

 

All of these social media platforms are seemingly good ideas that have turned into cesspools of disinformation and wasted time that exist solely to monetize the personal data they suck out of their subscribers. 

 

Just delete them and move back into the real world where you have to gather information from a variety of sources and then use your own powers of perception to evaluate it. Take back control of your mind and return to being your own private 'influencer'.

You can stretch the definition as far as you want to make a weak point  but Thai visa is not in Washington today, hardly has billions of followers.

I never had Twitter or FaceBook. I did see the questioning of Jack Dorsey by Sen. Cruz and what a disgusting tool Dorsey appeared to be - beard and all. Mark Zuckerberg, I don't know and don't want to. He certainly looks weird.

You, and the three folks who gave your post a 'like,' are wrong.  Twitter did not censor the New York Post article for those reasons.  Their only reason was because their policy was that hacked material was not allowed.

 

New York Post - Twitter, Facebook censor Post over Hunter Biden exposé

 

The Post’s primary Twitter account was locked as of 2:20 p.m. Wednesday because its articles about the messages obtained from Biden’s laptop broke the social network’s rules against “distribution of hacked material,” according to an email The Post received from Twitter.

 

When facts as simple and easily verified as this get distorted by posters here by making up false reasons for the censorship and posting those as 'fact' then it reaffirms my statement that I feel sorry for folks who can't sort out what's going on.

The Post is owned by Murdoch.  Who owns Fox News.  Neither are credible media outlets.  Even Fox News didn't want to run with the story, the the talking bubble heads, like Hannity, latched on to it.  Their news desk passed on it.  As did all other credible media outlets.

 

You are aware the people who wrote the article refused to put their names on it because they didn't believe it.  Go figure.  It's a terrible conspiracy brought on by criminal Rudy G.  And perpetuated by dodgy websites.

 

This should be enough evidence that it's a conspiracy theory.  Even a GOP investigation couldn't find any wrong doing.  Go figure.

How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge

A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."

Saying the source for your info is dodgy isn't relevant?  Seriously?

 

Did you even read the articles I put up?  It's been proven to be a conspiracy theory.  A Russian misinformation campaign that Rudy fell for.  Or, is helping to propagate.  Sad some fall for this.

Again, your arguments are absolutely irrelevant to the false statement you made.  Sources or validity of content are not questions here.  One point and one point only . . . your statement as to why Twitter censored the New York Post article is false.  Let it go, Jeffr2.
