Now as I’m sure most of you know, I am not on any social media platforms including Twitter and Facebook because I think they’re for people who are desperate for attention. As I have said previously, if you’re not a close personal friend or family member, I don’t give a shit where you went to eat or on vacation and nobody else does either. If you’re a close personal friend I can enjoy what your kids or more likely grandkids are doing, otherwise I couldn’t care less.
Now I’m sure many of you are wondering where this is going and so am I. LOL!
Actually the purpose is to discuss what the new guy at Twitter did today. He announced that they were going to ban anything that contains images that the person presented did not approve. Does anyone really think this is anything other than a blatant power grab to block conservatives from posting memes or videos portraying the liberals/ leftists in a negative light running up to 2022 while allowing anything from the left. The guy who killed 6 people in Waukesha and injured dozens was allowed to post rants calling for all white people to be killed. And the Taliban can post all their let’s kill all Jews but a true story that doesn’t help their socialist perspective must be eliminated.
Now what made me decide to rant was I was watching the Five and when they were discussing this subject they all seemed to think that it was maybe wrong but okay because the First Amendment doesn’t apply to private companies and I agree but these aren’t really private companies in the original sense of that amendment. As I’m sure you know section 230 of some telecommunications act provides them with immunity from lawsuits for what’s posted on their sites because they were like a neutral town square where everyone could say what they want. They are not just neutral platforms. Section 230 needs to abolished and they need to be subjected to libel and slander and defamation claims. I guarantee you that their censorship of the right would change big time.
Finally if you have the need to be on social media go to some of the new sites that are actually open platforms and bring these leftist only platforms to their knees. If everyone leaves they will be powerless. Hopefully when the Trump platform opens up, Twitter and Facebook and all their ilk will implode.
