    Yes. An alternate but fair platform would be a good idea although arguably Trump gets more mileage out of the blatant attempts at political censorship from Twitter, FB, etc.

    If anything, investors should be worried about any company that operates out of Democrat areas and hires Democrat to run them.

    Also... Democrats think it is okay for bosses to have affairs with interns on the clock, on company property, and give such behavior a total pass saying it's just sex. This can be very dangerous for companies and opens executives up to blackmail.

    Investors be weary... will your money be sacrificed by some Democrat to score a cheap political point?

    Twitter should be shut down for trying to stifle free speech.

    You are right, he gets mileage out of the controversy. Problem being that said platform would have to have some sort of rules, and if it does not and he can speak freely so can everyone else. He could go on Gab, but would he appreciate the other unfiltered ALT content there? Would he want them to regulate opposing views that also wont be filtered and would be ALT views.

    This website itself would be more ridiculous than it currently gets if the MODS did not set up the rules and police them. << I'm glad they do. There are forums that don't and they are pretty cringy content wise:|.

    Heck, they should be adding health warnings to that moron's tweets. The orange dotard is dumbing down America with every tweet he spews.

    Technically his message was transmitted unfiltered, so I don't see how they violated his free speech rights.

    Busted for being wrong.

    Refuses to admit it.

    This is a certainly a personality flaw. You should work on this.

    Remember the old days when Democrats were actual liberals who would say things like... I might disagree with what you say, but I will fight for your right to say it...

    Now they say... your speech has been deemed "bad" by the central nexus, report to officials for punishment, resistance is futile...

    LMAO...Yes, please shut it down. Your boy trump wouldn't have anywhere to spew his lies and garbage uncontested. The last thing trump will ever do is shut down twitter.

    They should just remove tweets that contain provable lies... It's already being done.

    You were Proven WRONG.

    That is the only thing that the post showed.

    You were WRONG.

    Trump DID say that
    Just accept your mistake and move on.

    You were wrong. Period.

    As far as the actual OP Topic:

    This is a good first step by Twitter, but it doesn't go nearly far enough.

    Twitter should be doing much more to regulate Trump's Conspiratorial B.S.

    Twitter needs to start deleting tweets, and even consider a temporary ban.

    So now any tweet they don't delete or label is deemed true...

    If twitter does this, they go from being a forum to being publishers. This will change their liabilities.

    Only by mouth breathers....

    ANYTHING coming from Trump is by default incorrect and must be proven true, IMHO...

    You obviously don't realize the ramifications of Twitter's actions on Twitter. If this is the new normal on twitter, they will be held liable for content they don't label or censor.

    @Josephwalker

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Your post seemed rather ambiguous.

    The "TDS leftist" comment was aimed at Twitter's Yoel Roth?

    Got it.:salute:

    "held liable" for what?

    They are a Private Company and they can do whatever they want.

    Trump is lucky to even be allowed to have a platform on Twitter.

    Trump should have been banned long ago.

    lol - just more liberal bias creeping into our lives. They won't be happy until they turn America into a Communist hellhole. Oddly, then the media will be silenced forever and the Communists will tell you what you can and cannot think.

    Seems odd to me that in an OP filled with hate, lies, name-calling, and exaggerations that you would celebrate "Fact-Check Warnings" to Trump Tweets.
