It’s a private company it’s no different when mods on the coli ban you for saying racist shyt towards everyone else’s except black folk.. here you can say racist shyt towards black folk and nothing happens

Are people plotting to kill people on The Coli? Is The Coli actively fostering users to get connected to groups that plan to do that??

Has The Coli bought competitors and engaged in monopolist practices?

Another thing that pisses me off is that there is no Mainstream Alternatives to twitter or facebook :francis: there should have been...

Isn’t this the actual problem?

You don’t like Wal Mart then shop at Target or Publix and get the same box of Frosted Flakes.

The reason Trump didn’t just jump to Parler for his personal account is everyone he wants is on Twitter. Spreading his venom pass his supporters to liberals and soft Republicans.

I mean true...:ld: But it seems like twitter has a monopoly on social media in it's form... I'm sure given time they'll be others that will pop up somewhere...

They won’t because Facebook, Google and to a lesser extent Twitter, buys up the competition. That’s monopolistic.

And Amazon is about to be the worst of them all.

Trump could have a press conference right now if he wanted to

I'm no Free Market Capitalist but Twitter is a private company and can do as it pleases with its platform :yeshrug:

Its not about Trump breh

Its about the business practices of these companies and why they should be held liable for those practices and how they're profiting off them... plus their power with how big they have gotten

good god yall are so fukking corny

people get banned off sites all the time

tell trump to call a press conference and stop bytching


Agreed. There's nothing wrong with a tech company being able to shutdown his account.

There is something wrong with the president not using the protocols already set in place for him to get his message out. He can go live any time he wants to and interrupt any show that he wants by going on air.


But that would mean he would have to take questions from the press. shyt, half the time he just walks away when they start asking him hard questions. Come to think of it, that's probably why he became dependent on twitter. He could shyt post all day long without having to address the dumb shyt that came off his dome

They should be able to do whatever when it comes to free speech with their own private businesses :yeshrug:. the problem is the government allowing them to consolidate and buy up competition which is a separate issue imo. If that didn't occur these social media apps wouldn't have so much mindshare over the online communication.
