I don't do conspiracy theories or as I call them "what if's"
Like what if you ever need personal rights to have a voice? Far out scenarios like that?

The way the armed protesters are piling up, it looks more like state National Guards at various capitols, vs. armed protesters.
Anything that happened in the US capitol on Day of, would be a total suicide mission, unless it was done via robot and/ or drone.
Incidents involving armed protesters will give Biden EXACTLY the news that he wants to introduce his pre-planned firearms legislation.

IMO the days of trying to "ban" guns(with the exception of auto's) for the DNC is a non starter. The advancement of 3D printers and any machinist shop can make a gun. I see the first thing to push would be a national firearm registration with the exception of certain rifles and several others being "grandfathered".
I think the Dems will go after clip capacity size, ammo, military gear sold to civilians, certain types of scopes, mostly put a slow down on tactical gear. This would be constitutional because it doesn't affect gun rights.
When they come to IC demanding that they stop banning members perhaps you’ll realize what nazism really is.
Trump is no longer president. He is a has been. I could care less where he finds his platform. Twitter doesn’t want him. He shouldn’t be forced on them.
You have to insult us all because you can’t grasp that concept. Let’s not go there.
I have personal rights and a voice. Twitter suspended me long ago.
That’s what Reagan did.
Absolutely 100% agree. And so did Elizabeth Warren several years ago when she tried to break them up and the GOP stopped her claiming "Private businesses can do what they want."
And now they are. Donald Trump isn't the victim of censorship. He's the victim of Capitalism.
indeed, the proverbial serpent's tooth
funny the ways justice sometime finds to even the scales
That's what's most amusing/frustrating about this situation is the complete and total misunderstanding of the 1st Amendment.
And I love the members here saying "You lefties supporting this are going to regret this one day!!"
No. No we won't. Because we understand how the 1st Amendment works.
And despite what Donald Trump says, repealing section 230 would just ensure people like him and his followers would just get banned faster. Not a company on the planet would open themselves up to litigation for allowing unmonitored hosting.

It might be a little more inter-personal than that.
People don't like Trump because he's a Perma-Dick.
As far as the censorship, he can have a Presidential Press Conference any time he wants.
Of course, with Twitter, he doesn't get asked questions to his face, on video.
I really don't think it is.
Amazon/Twitter/Google/Facebook/etc. were happy and fine with Trump and Parler being on their platform until they refused to do anything about the posts talking about violence on private and public individuals, potentially putting the company hosting the content into legal/civil jeopardy. Because Section 230 doesn't protect what can be considered "illegal content", which unprovoked violence upon specific people most certainly does.
Do you really think business people give a shit about what people post until it puts the company in legal jeopardy because of some ideology? Their only ideology is "More money because if a lot is good, more is better."
It was only up until after the riots that businesses finally said, "Whoa! That's the line! That's it! No More!" Up until then Trump could act however he wanted to whomever he wanted.
who insulted "you all"?
you guys don't seem to be able to understand the concept im discussing here. its not about Trump for me, its about the principle.
as i said, im happy they did this. as can be read in the worlds news, Twitter just shot themselves in the foot using a 12 gage pump action. this has served as a wake up call for all the world leaders etc.
truth is, if the big tech monopolies were not colluding to suppress any competition, we would already have an alternative.
but now they won't be able stop it, as the world's elite has seen the power that the social media monopolies hold in their sticky fists, jack will not be able to put Pandora back in her box.
no matter how convenient you think it was, the precedent it sets is awful.

have no idea how factual this account is, but it's a first hand account from someone who was there at the front. probably worth watching if all you saw was cnn/mbc coverage of events that day of January 6th, 2021.

Censorship?
who cares what you call it.
the fact remains, the sitting, elected,
president of the USA, was banned off twitter!

You don't seem to get it. Everyone sees what your saying for what it is.
Your principle end at your own "ban button"
How does someone handing out warnings and bans, just keep complaining about people getting banned?! smh
Rules for thee, not for me.
Yes. A giant turd impersonator was warned 1000 times to follow rules or be banned from a privately owned website.
Imagine if he had his own news room with anxious reporters to help him connect with the people. Wouldn't that be a concept.

better late than never, sa they say.
I just wish they had thought of that 5 years ago. It would have saved me from having to see his bullsh*t from being repeated and talked about it on TV.
