This is exactly why trump should remain banned from social media and should be prevented from ever running for any office again. He lies openly and has his minions with a voice spread his lies far and wide for him. Latest was this blatant lie about the AZ ballots. Unsurprisingly, a couple of trump lovers in this thread fell for it immediately. Trump is a cancer that was surgically removed but the GQP is doing everything the Dr tells you not to. They are feeding the remaining cancer cells.
So we should just ban everyone you disagree with? Only a "liberal" can think this way. Just like in China huh?
Just because Trump once tweeted that Twitter is stifling free speech it doesn’t make it so. Try to think for yourself. Now for a primer on this issue, so that you are finally more informed.
Twitter is a private company, not a government. In our country the USA there is something called the first amendment that prevents the government from blocking a person’s or private company’s free speech. If you don’t like the constitution this probably isn’t the right country for you.
Twitter, like other companies, has its own terms of service and can decide for itself what it wants to publish. We don’t live under authoritarian rule and anyone who doesn’t like the terms they agree to can move on to another platform that will accept them. It’s a free country and nothing is preventing trump from paying for a cheap website where he can blog nonsense all day. He can also yell out his nonsense into his TV or out into the streets, that’s his right.
The GQP is equally totally fkn wrong on the cancel culture issue. The government doesn’t have a right to decide the terms of service for companies and prevent them from executing accordingly. When some racist a$$hole goes too far a company has the right to disassociate itself from that person, via severing contractual relationships containing relevant clauses, by changing its rules and by making public statements. We live in a free market and if racist a$$holes are not in demand then they don’t get to have a voice or power. But sure, the GQP can cry about it all they want - free speech baby.
Lastly, if Trump or any chuds believe their rights are being trampled they can sue in court. That’s how things work in the USA. Some of you seem like you’d prefer to be in Chad or the DRC. Try not to hate the US so much.
