Tech platforms block Trump, with Facebook's Zuckerberg saying risk 'too great'

[crobe]

The right-wing and Qanon conspiracy theorists are now being relegated back to where they came from, the fringe of the internet, chat rooms and chans.

They were brought into the mainstream social media because of the President's profile on Facebook, Twitter etc. which did not want to be seen as being part of partisan politics, but last Wednesday has at least changed that attitude.

Donald Trump says that he will use his remaining time to fight against big tech, and take them to the supreme court, well good luck with that - after 20th January he is a private citizen and can no longer call on the services of the justice department to fight the cases for him (or for rape/defamation allegations), and so it will have to be his (and his dumb supporters) money that is to be used in the legal fights all the way through district, state and federal courts. 

He does not have the funds to take on the big tech companies on his own - unless he wants to bankrupt himself again.

 

The enablers are now also feeling the heat as donors flee the likes of Cruz, Hawley and Tuberville - large banks and other institutions and commercial donors are now suspending or cancelling their PAX contributions to their campaigns.

 

The mainstream TV media took the first steps last month by cutting away from a Trump press conference, and post inauguration, will afford him much less airtime than they had to as President. Even Fox news is now feeling the heat as billion dollar lawsuits from Dominion systems are in process, and the Murdochs will have to make a commercial decision as to whether they will lend Trump the credibility from now on, or whether they start to muzzle the commentaries from their opinion people, Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham.

Murdoch only backs winners, he does not like losers.

 

In the next few months we will see the right-wing and Qanon relegated to a much less relevant, but still highly vocal, fringe minority, and it will be seen whether this makes them lose support, or become even more radical.

It's great to see Trump and his enablers finally paying a price for their corruption and dishonesty.  There seems to be news out every day now about the latest people/org to abandon Trump.  For the golfers out there, here is one that's really going to hit Trump's pocketbook...

Wow!  That's HUGE!!!!!  Bigly!!!!

 

Love it.  I think he's going to be an outcast.  And his businesses are going to suffer.  Can't wait.

Corporate America is fighting back, not just the tech companies who are banning 45 and his minions.

 

-PGA refuses to hold any events at 45-owned courses

-Marriott will no longer donate to any pol who pushed the 'vote fraud' conspiracy

-Forbes says it will assume that what comes out of any company that hires any former 45 Press Person is a lie (includes spicer, sanders, mcenany)

-Amazon's AWS tossed off parler, and both Google and Apple Playstores stopped carrying the parler app

 

Elsewhere, Scottish Parliament members want 45 banned from entering the country, viewing him as every much the threat of a jihadi terrorist

But the UK PGA golf (Royal and Ancient) still plans to have its trainee sessions at Trumps Turnberry course in Scotland in March - probably due to COVID this will be cancelled though
