deadbeat don ain't got the money for it,and i doubt anyone wants to pony up the cash for the lying fake news network or babies hurt feels twatter
it would be nice to see him fade away
but the numbers of wealthy morons is not that small
another Hitler parallel, Hitler knew how to shake the money tree
yet another strong argument for limiting political contributions

Specifically Facebook and Twitter, break them up. Jack and Zuck shouldn't have this much power to influence our elections. As far as I'm concerned they have a monopoly because others can't compete without getting destroyed.

That still makes no sense.

Twitter is what got Trump elected, you didn't have a problem with it until now.

Anyone can make another social media app/ platform.

Trump's policies is what got Trump elected. Twitter and Facebook were not banning their political rivals at the time. Even then I was irritated at social media for banning me for nonsense reasons while allowing the left to say whatever they want. In fact if you really dig deep in my posts you will find I did talk about it here.

They have no obligation to provide a platform for people they deem to be unfit :biglaugh:

It seems you just want change because 'your guy' got kicked off. That's just too bad.

Logic not found.

Breaking up a company is not government control?

Anti-trust laws exist for good reasons, but are only selectively enforced. I don't think we have to pretend robber barons are the same as any other business. I think that if the media started saying that these companies have too much power and needed to be broken up, many here would get on board with that. The media just won't say that unless and until they are told to do so.

No I'm never for government control of anything, but I believe social media should be broken up as a monopoly. I'm not even going to entertain the Hitler nonsense, it's gotten old.

I’m not the one who brought up nazis in this conversation, nor did I post a meme mentioning nazis. I simply responded.

It’s not a monopoly. They have competition.

They’re just the flavor of the week. Mostly because of trump. Soon the newest and grooviest will come along and take the lead. Twitter is for old people.
Who is Twitter's and Facebook's competition?

Who is Google's competition?

Who is Amazon's competition?

there's competition, relatively small but there
ebay does ok in the amazon space
big companies look like they'll dominate forever
but they don't

My comment was only to point out the irony in Boogie's statement that he does not support ANY government control. Nothing more.
