Randall | In total, $51 billion has been lost since banning President Trump. http://www.theepochtimes.com/twitter-facebook-51-billion-combined-market-value-erased-since-trump-ban_3656442.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-01 -14-2 |
MonteCristo | Wow! I wonder if they're regretting their decisions. |
Randall | Parler goes to trial against Amazon today. The judge is a liberal activist, but she ruled against the government in a flag burning case, and this judge said that violated free speech. |
Randall | The "Twatter" CEO said yesterday: "That said, having to ban an account has real and significant ramifications. While there are clear and obvious exceptions, I feel a ban is a failure of ours ultimately to promote healthy conversation. And a time for us to reflect on our operations and the environment around us." Translation: "There are a few billion reasons why we f*cked up." |

The CEO stated that? Seems like the obvious step would be for them to reverse their ban. I already deleted my account |
iQ | Joke from Twitter: Nazis: It was Antifa! FBI: We have your cell phone data. It was you. Nazis: No! Antifa. FBI: We have your selfies you posted. Nazis: Antifa. FBI: We have your video diary of you storming the Capitol. Nazis: Far left riots. FBI: Far left wears masks. Nazis: But...you can't arrest us, we are White! FBI: Ha Ha Ha.... |

To curb extremists on their platform? It’s a shame that people are even asking, or that they had to do it in the first place. It should have happened years ago. |

Did you see why they shut them down? How can you back up threats of violence? They weren’t doing anything about it. |

Something like 75 million ****** up in trying to re-elect twitler, too. We saw yet again, why he shouldn’t be re-elected, why he lost, and you still stand by him. |

Extremists? Hardly. Silencing people is a dangerous precedent. "I disapprove of you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it." - Voltaire Also, check out what Zuck posted a while back. http://www.facebook.com/johnburk1775/posts/2887945151533852 |
Randall | He also said: “Banning an account limits public conversation and the potential for clarification, redemption, and learning. And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous: the power an individual or corporation has over a part of the global public conversation.” |
jwhop | "I disapprove of (what) you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it." - Voltaire The number 1 'liberal' meme on free speech. Notice, that's not what democrats...who call themselves 'liberals' say today. Which proves my point that 'liberal' democrats are scarce as hen's teeth. |
shura | Classic liberalism is dead. Progressivism doesn't support free speech because it is an Eurocentric ideology which favors whites. You can't let Nazis talk bruh |

Did he really say that? If so, he is probably feeling the wrath of stockholders to whom he has to answer for the financial repercussions of this decision. |
Belage | The US mainstream is not telling people that the leaders of many countries are alarmed at Twitter's decision. For instance, just to name a few, Germany and France's heads of state have spoken out against it and voiced their conerns. Australia is currently looking at laws to limit the power of big tech media. |
