    twitter should go with a Scarlet A type system

    liars get a certain color code

    flagrant liars a different one

    public shaming as censorship

    I figured someone who supports free speech would be against it.

    You let me down again.

    Twitter could stamped one of their arbitrary fact checks on it... instead they went nuclear and even banned people who try to share it.

    Why would someone supporting free speech be against the alleged pee hooker story? Not following you there, amigo.

    The answer is quite obvious... the media and big tech are cheerleaders for the democratic party.

    Twitter gets to decide who uses their soap box why and how.
    You dont get that ?

    Bet if it was a baker denying a wedding cake to ...

    What is the difference ?

    Ok, do we need these things posted on twatter to read them? I dont ever see you complaining about media and companies cheer leading for Trump or Republicans. Fox News is the largest media company in the US and Trump literally said out loud their job was to get Republicans elected.



    Remind me again, which side got rid of the fairness doctrine requiring equal time for both sides.

    I recognize that Trump has completely broken your principles but if you're cool with one of the worlds largest media platforms not allowing users to share links with the nations oldest newspaper simply bc it reflects poorly on a democratic politician, then that is your right.

    Twitter has the right to do it. It is awful that they are doing it.

    In slippery slope news, they went from censoring Alex Jones to the Press Secretary, the GOP, and NY Post in a little over a year.

    The NY Post has forfeited any right to be considered a newspaper. It is a propaganda organ. Like Pravda in the old days. Think of twitter as suppressing Pravda. Oh the outrage.

    It is worth noting that the "reporter" the Post is using for this Biden bombshell has no prior bylines for them and most recently been employed by Hannity.

    Who cares?

    Why censor it?

    Why do you always find yourself on the side of defending censorship?

    I personally don't have a view one way or another on these decisions by twitter. But if they censor propaganda, then there is some sort of rough karmic justice. A sort of proof that there is a God lurking out there somewhere in the cosmos. That's how I see it.
