    i said this in another thread but

    twitter, as a private company, has every right to ban whoever they want

    however, they are also at a point where they are so large and important to our society, there should be some protections in place to keep this from happening

    twitter is how world leaders deliver news now.

    banning trump from twitter is like banning americans from receiving mail. what if a major decision is made before biden is in office?

    Well said. Sure, twitter is private + has its own terms and agreements, but it has essentially become a place to receive news and updates in real time, whether you like the person or not. Trumps going to reach his followers regardless. I don’t feel like this ban served any real purpose. If he wanted to do another Jan 6 event, he wouldn’t need twitter to do it

    Maybe.

    I know if Andrew Yang got banned from social media he would be out in full force.

    He can release a f***ing press release like Presidents used to do before Twitter existed. He could go on Fox News. I’m sure anyone there will listen to him ramble like he always does.

    He has plenty of other avenues to reach people. He is just being punished right now like everyone else can be for breaking twitter’s rules. He has more outlets to speech than the the average citizen.

    90% of the twitter user base gotta be mentally challenged or something. Everybody should be banned off that s*** anyway

    to everyone here that doesn't understand the modern dynamic between social media (big tech, in a broader sense) and freedom of speech, please read this:

    He means big tech has become too powerful and its time to break up these monopolies who can band together when needed just to further their own agendas.

    Banning Trump from Twitter is not like banning mail lmao what are you talking about.

    If he makes any big changes he can communicate that without Twitter you know there were presidents before social media right?

    yes but the world has changed since then

    there were presidents before tv but TV changed the way they delivered news

  • Jan 10, 2021

    But then again that is trumps personal account so he’s liable to get banned

    Wasn't there some statistic that a majority of the tweets everyday come from a small majority of super-users? Think I saw it from KTTT

    right but again, the world has changed since then.

    back in the 1800s they delivered with with telegrams lol

    we don’t do that now though

  • Jan 10, 2021

    Multinational giant tech corporations getting themselves involved in politics is never a good idea. Its only a matter of time before they start limiting voices who dont share other their interests. Doesnt change the fact Trump is an absolute s***head and should be held responsible for all the terrible decisions and not so subtle dog whistles he made.

  • Jan 10, 2021

    it's literally all about his person lmao
    if another horrible person did s*** like him and it happened i'd support it too

    Apples and oranges. AOC was sued because it is unlawful for an account of official purposes to exclude people in an online dialogue. Which, iirc, happened to Trump as well. It has nothing to do with "press media".

    That is law. Twitter's ToS is different. If you break Twitter's rules, they have grounds to remove you from that service. It doesn't matter who you are. Trump broke Twitter's ToS (among other sites'), he was banned. There is no law preventing that.

    I’m not trying to dispute their TOS, I just believe that they need to be held more accountable for what they publish in the same way that the press is.

    At the end of the day, it is on Trump, but this raises a good point about Twitter’s role in the media.

    Are we in the age past televisions? Are we in the age past YouTube? There is nothing stopping Trump from communicating to the American people
