Twitter has more power than POTUS.

They can ban him in an instant.

yes cause they are a privately owned company

they can do whatever the fuck they want

Ok lolbertardian.

ok

that was pretty clever i like that name

ngl

They’re a private company, they can do what they want! They can monopolize the entire internet, having so much power that they could essentially shadow ban the president from the information highway!

It’s their right! If you don’t follow the rules move to another platform!

Oh you did? Well time to use my unchecked power to remove you from there as well

Woops!!!

does anybody wonder if biden is actally trying to be nice how he claims but just mentally retarded so he goes about it the wrong way

Biden doesn't worry me, congress worries me

Biden is a weak man

It’s the party behind him

The "pRiVaTe cOmPaNy" argument is not valid. Twatter, Fakebook, and these other social media platforms are the new public square where most conversation goes on nowadays. These firms should have no ability to ban anyone at all (unless it is objevtively a genuine threat, legally recognized illicit material, or calls/recruitment for terrorism), given that they U.S. based and take state subsidies. To that end, they should be beholden to our laws/constitution. The tragic part is that 230 is there to stop these sites from acting the way they are, but because money is allowed to influence politicians, it is not being enforced

What? Section 230 is actually what allows them to blurr the lines between a publisher and public forum platform. Repeal section 230 and hold these big techs accountable or nationalize them entirely.

We need to burn these companies with pain and economic agony.

Yes, I understand the distinction 230 creates. It isn't the companies, it is the refusal of the government to enforce its own rules when companies claiming to be platforms are blatantly acting as publishers

We punish them by repealing section 230.

As private companies, they must act the same amount of duty minded as normal citizens.
Guarantee them 1st amendment rights. And accountability and transparency.

How would that punish them? Wouldn't that just obliterate smaller competition?

No.

Alt Tech is already a "smaller competition" and they are rising without them even caring about section 230.

These alt techs thrive by guaranteeing their users 1st amendment.

Twitter and FaceBook don't.

They disguise their tyrannical, Orwellian actions under "protection against hate speech" guidelines.

If you are advertising yourself as a social platform, you de facto must be consistent with that and play as public forum.

Period.

That's why Twitter is falling in sales.

I agree with you on the public forum statement. My understanding of 230 is that it prevents site owner accountability as long as what is on your site does not go through you directly. What these tech giants are doing is direct moderation of content; thereby defining them as publishers under 230, and thus should open them up to the consequences of being a publisher

its over cut ur peepees off now time to transition to a biden presidency

How to loose neurons and IQ: Be a libertarian in 2021.

I mean the Libertarians are right on this, Twitter did lose 5 billion in revenue

Same with the bank that closed an account of trump worth 5.3 million

These guys are idiots

But the left will probably find a way to fund them
