The decision by Facebook to keep Donald Trump off its platform didn’t just limit the former president’s ability to amplify his message, it cut him off from one of the most effective political advertising and fundraising tools available.
A FEW RANDOM COMMENTS:
Speech intended to incite riots, violence or treasonous insurrection is not protected by the First Amendment to begin with.
It’s Facebook’s party. If they don’t want to support his lies and another violent insurrection that cost 6 lives you Trumpers will just have to try to understand it’s THEIR business and their right to decide. You also have to consider that if they did allow Trump back and anyone else got killed as a result of Trump’s inciting violence, they could be liable for wrongful death lawsuits worth millions of dollars. It’s well documented Trump made over 32 THOUSAND false or misleading statements in four years. Please explain why Facebook should believe Trump deserves another chance to repeat the past misdeeds all over again.
Trump can create his own social media platform with all that money he’s been fleecing from his supporters from lying to them about the election and there being voter fraud.The only voter fraud that’s been discovered was from a Republican who tried to cast a ballot in his dead mother’s name.
Some nonsense you say ? ! -His nonsense led to an insurrection and lies that struck at the foundation of our democracy -Still not stopping- his nonsense impacts millions of Americans - and sows seeds of distrust in our democratic institutions even when our election system had been thoroughly vetted and so many Americans of all political persuasions are proud of the work they accomplished - and yet there are many willing to believe the worst of our countrymen and our democratic institutions because of his “nonsense” - you greatly understate the impact of vicious lies spewing forth from an ex president and his need to cripple any American who stands in his way. If the truth does not hold because of his need to dominate , our country will have been changed in ways we cannot even imagine -
I'd argue that social media have "too much" power because the ppl continues to give them that power, be it willingly or ignorantly or equal parts both. They are this powerful because we want them that way and get really get upset over it out of pure laziness and ignorance on our part. MySpace didn't get this powerful because we didn't want them to. So how much power these social media giants have over us is purely in our control. And up to our own selfish needs.
Inciting a mob is hardly nonsense.
remember when in WWII we went and helped Europe END another big mouth bragging nationalist despot??? I think he's been treated with kid gloves and I kind of dislike the fact his fans will continue persevering on his reelection-it should be made clear to them he is an unacceptable criminal threat and this does hopefully foreshadow his upcoming convictions.
