Twitter Permabans Trump -

[RandomTwitterGuy]

It's because they're also taking down the alternatives as well.

It's deplatforming if you cut down the competition for a banned user to go to.

Why should a private company give you free things? What right do you have to ask a private company to follow your will?

Yes it is deplatforming, and censorship and cutting down competition. So what? Do you not support a deregulated market?.
I am for regulation and strong rules against it. How ever i am a Democratic Socalist.

SO i want to see all you conservatives stand by your "Freemarket" and "Deregulation stance" and not turn shrinking violet because it hits you.
This is what this is about. It hits the things you like and that is why you don't like it.

It's kind of hard to stand for a free market when all your alternatives are getting destroyed by the corp with all the marketshare.

Hello fellow reddit user that wears his ideologies on his arm. Remember this, you support industries that have achieved such control that they are able to subvert your rights through underhanded bullshit. When the pendulum swings I almost guarantee you are going to be among the first people screaming that its unfair when you are shown the door.

Firstly - no, I don't support a deregulated market. I'm not sure exactly where you got this idea from? Not everyone who is right-wing is some sort of libertarian Thatcherite.

Secondly, you're making the mistake of confusing a deregulated market with a free market, they are not the same thing. In order for a market to be 'free', in this context meaning the ability for competition within the market to arise and for small businesses to thrive, the government sometimes has to intervene to prevent monopolies arising (a good example of this is Theodore Roosevelt's "trust-busting" policies). The only people who actually benefit from an "invisible hand" approach are people like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.

Trump intentionally incited a failed insurrection of the Capitol Building, and he did so largely through Twitter. He should have been banned a long time ago. Think of it this way:

Twitter is a Christian Bakery and Donald Trump is a gay wedding cake.

We're all gay wedding cakes. How are we going to get baked?

Don't laugh too hard. Biden is in office and Democrats hold majority in both houses of Congress. Null is about to learn why a Section 230 rework (and a Trump presidency) was the least bad of two possibilities. You are next.

View attachment 1839684

There's no chance of a significant Section 230 rework because Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc were key to getting those democrats into those seats and the last thing they want to do is to have any regulations on themselves. They basically pushed Biden from "one of the worst candidates of all time" to "candidate who received the most votes of all time" by pushing key stories, running interference/censorship on unfavorable stories and stirring up unrest.

The tech companies literally (currently) have the power to censor the sitting President of the United States of America. They also have appointed themselves (before banning the POTUS) the "fact checkers" of the POTUS and the whole world, essentially. They have all the power and they aren't going to let the kids they propped up in office change that in any way.

While I do believe social media is gay, it has transcended just being an Internet forum for normies.

The truth is that Twitter basically runs a monopoly on mainstream worldwide discussion, and in an age where internet isn’t seen as a luxury, rather a utility (e.g. fucking running water), Twitter more and more becomes a necessity to open a dialogue, especially when you’re the most powerful person on planet Earth.

This is almost the same as letting an electricity/water company shut off someone’s running water/power because the CEO didn’t like what someone said, and they have “the right” to cut someone’s access from it as a private company.

General incompetence and busybodies must bog down a lot of executive decisions.

You know, this is the one glimmer of hope in all this - the absolute incompetence of our elected officials. The Uk government can’t even empty the bins once a week. They couldn’t organise a pissup in a brewery. Maybe that will save us all? Of course big tech are a bit more organised...

So what is your demand of this private company? Why is this a special case.

Publically listed company. With a monopoly. My demand would be: by banning people due to political opinions, and by strongly curating what is available on their platform via things like algorithms/shadow bans they no longer have the protection of 230. 230 doesn’t need revoking, it needs to be used as it was intended. My other demand would be that they have a monopoly, and thus get broken up. Ditto Facebook, who do all the same bias-pushing as Twitter do and also buy up/break the competition.
You don’t need new laws - you’ve got antitrust laws/230. Use them as they were intended.

 

[Prester John]

Dems have held both houses before and have done fuck and all with their time in the spotlight. Never doubt the power of overwhelming bureaucracy.

They got Obamacare done. They know how to twist arms.

Why are you conservatives fuckwads so fucking pathetic and whiny. OH no i cant tweet, it is the same as not having water and power. Literally coming from people in a country where you do not have basic fucking healthcare that will not bankrupt you, basic fucking wages you can live on and affordable higher education.

BUT nooo the big scary thing is twitter banned the dipper faggot i voted for.

This is literally what we are talking about you fucking losers being fucking children after helping to erode the fucking laws that would have helped you in this case.
Guess what Trump supported the repeal of net neutrality.
You gave them the tools and now you bitch about them using it.

 

[X Prime]

Net neutrality had nothing to do with this.

Rather odd to call someone else children and then wrongly cite a policy of content delivery by ISPs and other such agents that has literally nothing to do with the issue at hand. Almost like one does not know what they're talking about and are wildly flailing at a keyboard.

You break them up, and then you have to keep watchdogs on them to stlp the coordinated collusion antics. All while preventing the companies from paying congressional whores to stop it.

It was about deregulating the market and then turning around and bitching when the now very free tools this big corps have come to punch you in the mouth.
The simple truth is you conservatives are children.

You want less oversight until the market gets to powerful and then you cry about it. You hade time, you had power, but you did shit all and now you bitch.
That is why you are fucking children.

Twitter has made you retarded.

 

[derpherp2]

Twitter has made you retarded.

More like Twitter festered the retardation that was already there.

Seriously, it's always hilarious how the twitter retards assume so much over so little, next thing you'll know he'll try and predict each and every one of our underwear colors and how it has valid correlation to our political leanings (because it always leads to politics, always).

Didn’t say it was the same as not having power/water, but then again I wasn’t expecting someone from Twitter to properly be able to make the distinction between a comparison and a metaphor.

Btw, if you’re going to post on KF, don’t show how mad you are behind the screen. You could end up on the ass-end of a dox. Not trying to be an asshole, just genuine advice.
