    trump was using Twitter to get around scrutiny from the media.

    He has 88 million cult followers.

    That is now OVER!  an_light

     

    Also banned from Instagram.

     

    And btw, when some effing dummy posts something about this suggesting "censorship"

    a lawyer just stated that because Twitter is a private company and by their  TOC

    they have a LEGAL RIGHT to do this.

    Twitter's reasoning - which they DON'T have to provide -

    is due to  "the risk of further incitement of violence"

    if i had to guess, i'd say "yes" and he didn't "murder" anyone. he may have caused her death. the united states "caused alot of deaths" in WW2, as did other countries. .. 

    of course, her family blames trump. but let's not let facts get in the way of some good rhetoric.

    Twitter bans Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell
    in QAnon account purge

     

    Twitter on Friday removed the accounts of Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell and
    other high-profile supporters of Trump who promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory.

    NOTE:  Twitter is a private company, and by their Terms-Of-Service, they reserve the right to do this at their discretion

    The PERMANENT BANS are among the highest profile that the company has instituted
    as part of its efforts to crack down on misinformation and calls for violence.

    Apple Warns Parler Of Imminent Ban

    FORBES, Jan 8
    Apple has warned alt-right social networking app Parler that
    unless it moderates and removes content that encourages illegal activity,
    it could be banned from the App Store.

    Interestingly, as Apple’s letter cites, Parler’s own terms of service
    explicitly condemn language like this, in section six about
    “Threats of Violence, Advocacy of Imminent Lawless Action,
    Threats to Dox, Bribery or Criminal Solicitation.”

    NBC
    Simon & Schuster cancels
    Sen. Josh Hawley's book
    following Capitol violence


    The publisher called the events "disturbing" and a "deadly insurrection."
    "As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices
    and viewpoints. At the same time we take seriously our larger public
    responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after
    his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom."

    Twitter shares are down 3% in after hours trading after Trump's account is suspended.

    Google is removing Parler from the Google Play Store.

    America is in the beginning stages of a failing Democracy. I say this with great humility as I have a daughter whose life will not be nearly as successful and enjoyable as mine. The political system in this country is polarized beyond repair. Social...television and print media no longer report truth on either side. They report ideology and seek to polarize people to make larger profits. Facts are meaningless in the media on both sides.  

    IMO what the left is doing now is very dangerous. They are punishing someone who currently believes the same thing as they believed 4 years ago...that the election was illigitimate. I may be old but didn't the Dems make a failed attempt to contest the election of Trump in 2016 and Bush in 2000 and now they are advocating throwing people out of Congress for doing the same thing??

    Now that they have almost unchecked power...they are attempting to cancel the 1st amendment. They somehow believe that they know what the truth is and any opposing view should be canceled and anyone who disagrees with them should have their lives destroyed. It feels good right now but in the long run it will destroy their movement and possibly the country through Civil War. Virtually all Democracies end in this type of fashion. Fortunately...I am old enough to have experienced much in life and am retiring from 30+ years of govt. service soon. 

    The current groundswell seeks to destroy the history of the greatest country in the world and replace it with a Utopian view of what they believe the world should be like. Very dangerous. Virtually every immigrant in the world wants to come to a country where half of it preaches it is a horrible...reprehensible place that must be fundamentally changed. I challenge anyone saying this to go spend 6 months in Afghanistan...Pakistan...Syria or Somalia and then tell us how bad of a place America is.

    But like I said at the beginning of this thread...Democracies fail from within not from outside and I believe unfortunately ours is beginning to fail. And the winners in this mess will be the biggest of companies...Amazon...Walmart...Facebook etc who will end up with monopolies in concert with a government run system.

    Good luck to all of us. We're going to need it.
