    Haha funny that. Remember when Obama classified the internet as a Title 2 carrier? And then the FTC under that dipshit Pait argued that it wasn't and had that overturned?

    Yeah, it's not a utility according to the Republican dominated FCC.

    Trump says social media should remain neutral, libs go nuts because they can no longer censor things they don't like. Priceless.

    Trump says the government should be able to enforce its view of "neutrality." Trumpists and other fake "conservatives" celebrate because they are the ones actually wanting to use government force to censor free speech and can't get enough of Trump's promises to do so. Priceless.

    Meanwhile, the same Trumpists think it is "going nuts" to support free speech and and private property rights. Equally priceless.

    I beg to differ. Fairness doctrines are for liberals. The word "fair" has a sort of liberal stench to it. And who bases their vote on social media "fact checking?"

    Trump's "tweeting" debases the dignity of the office. Trump should take a page from Abe Lincoln's book. Lincoln was the most reviled President in history. Yet he ignored the yapping of lesser men and just did his thing without being distracted.

    Trump eradicated Conservatism when they all sold their conservative values to vote for him.

    Whats even more priceless is that you came to this ridiculous conclusion - and the reason for it being that you know social media has been selectively editing content based on political motivations and you are sad that its going to be coming to an end (hopefully, but I doubt it).

    Since you didn't manage to actually address anything I said, I'll repeat:

    Trump says the government should be able to enforce its view of "neutrality." Trumpists and other fake "conservatives" celebrate because they are the ones actually wanting to use government force to censor free speech and can't get enough of Trump's promises to do so. Priceless.

    Meanwhile, the same Trumpists think it is "going nuts" to support free speech and and private property rights. Equally priceless.

    Let's say private companies have been selectively editing based on political motivations. And? That may be terrible, but it would still be within their 1st Amendment rights. Not liking the results of the 1st Amendment is no excuse for killing it, as you and Trump both propose we do.

    the key difference here is President Trump was a free market capitalist before entering politics, and obama is a certified communist along with democrats.

    government agencies like social media do not have freedom of speech, they can only be arbiters of truth.

    Gonna laugh my ass off when Trump gets banned from Twitter or FB!!!

    "we're sorry, but now that we no longer have liability protection, we had to ban Trump as his comments were dishonest and slanderous".

    Liberals have a problem with the Government telling Twitter what they can or can't say -- but yet liberals want the Government to tell bakers they must bake a cake that offends someone's religious views.

    I like the way you quote 1/2 of what I said so as to change the meaning. Do you want to address my actual comment concerning the hypocrisy of wanting the Government to tell bakers what sort of cakes they can bake while objecting to Twitter being censored by the Government?

    bakers have to bake a cake for gay people.

    they don''t have to write a gay message on the cake.

    Lol.

    First off - Ha! Yeah ok. You hold onto those beliefs for dear life

    Second - that literally avoided having to acknowledge or dispute anything I said with unrelated BS distractions.

    You made an opinionated statement based off what you've seen someone on the internet post. Dont confuse facts.

    the problem is Trump didn't lie

    A Paterson NAACP leader said the recent city council vote-by-mail election was allegedly so flawed that the results should be thrown out and a new election ordered.

    What needs to be done is make ones pollical ideology a protected class like we have done with religion

    and make it unlawful to discriminate based on that ideology

    then social media companies would have to explain why the vast majority of actions taken are against one political ideology and not the other

    same as a company would be required to explain the same if they treated a minority group the same as social media companies treats conservatives
