    Hypocrisy is paramount when it comes to the leftist agenda. Saying something is hate speech does not make it true, even though there is no such thing as hate speech. The left has invented things like hate speech so they can define what it is and use it against anyone who opposes them.

    Twitter, Facebook, etc...should lose their status and be open to being sued.

    You see, threatening Trump or Republicans with death and violence on Twitter has to be put through the Leftist filter first to really understand what they mean. KILL means love. Assassinate means hug.

    When Trump says March, it means riot and when he says peaceful it means hurt people.

    It’s so simple and objective. :)

    We are seeing the downfall of free speech n this country live. Kiss the 1st A as we know it, goodbye. Certain criticism of Biden has already been banned. But it’s only going to get worse. All criticism of Democrats or BLM or any of their pet groups will be censored soon. Just wait.

    Twitter should absolutely suffer the same fate as Parler if their behavior is the same. As should Facebook.

    I 100% agree!!

    Of course it will kill this site, but I can live without it.

    They have control over their servers.

    Keep waiting for one of you to actually know what the 1st Amendment says.

    I'm no expert but maybe he's talking about the Section 230 status those platforms enjoy, if I have the number correct.

    230 just needs to be enforced at some point. If we kill it, say goodbye to the current internet-era where we can basically say anything and not expose the forum to legal trouble.

    Twitter just needs to let people speak freely and become a platform. If they want to regulate content, then they need to declare themselves publisher where they will be held accountable under 230 for crazy posts. They want both things - both to be free of responsibility when they give platform to someone livestreaming a murder and yet also in complete control of what they allow to be published so they can censor "hatespeech". And Congress either can't or won't do anything to force a decision here, at least not currently from what I've seen.

    Still waiting for quotes where Trump openly supported violence or overthrow of the govt. All we hear is what Democrats THINK he meant. Well, we have far clearer quotes from Pelosi and company being way more obvious, but again the Leftist filter fixes all that confusion:) AND they’re very hard to find on YouTube now which is oh so fascinating. Seems lots of incriminating video of Democrat leaders is disappearing by the truck loads.

    Those anti-trump tweets look like some nobody ranting on the internet. Virtually no threat. Stop moaning about it.

    The left is hideously selective in what they get outraged over. Take a simple noose. We've seen the left loose it over thinking lamp cords and soldering irons look like nooses, they're emotionally damaged for life upon seeing one, and it's racist beyond belief.

    But in this thread a member posts a picture of a noose implying Trump should be lynched and she thinks it's OK. In fact, if you read the thread, it's my fault for even noticing the left's double standards and hypocrisy.

    Twitter only censors the right.

    The left can say and do whatever they want.

    The left can riot as much as they want, BLM has murdered and yet avoids being condemned, they hold up racist signs, and are still supported by dems.

    The right does it, and everyone loses their minds lol.

    People are slowly waking up to this nonsense and its only going to result in more violence. I wish it wouldn't, but thats how people are.

    Any Tweet claiming their is systemic racism is calling for violence since people are rioting and killing over that lie. Pelosi, Biden and the rest need to be canceled as well. That is if we’re applying equal and fair interpretation of what constitutes “incitement”?

    Are we? According to recent evidence there is no sign at all that the censorship is being applied equally.

    What I'm not seeing in this thread is any of the several left/far-left PF regulars I've been exchanging dozens of messages per day with on the subject of inciting violence. I have to say this isn't the first time I've noticed the trend of our left-leaning members outright ignoring threads that shatter their narratives. I don't usually see it the other way around except in COVID threads.

    Well, bless your heart ... you see roses growing out of the asses of conservatives.

    Truth is that that very few people fit into this little morality box you have constructed in your own mind.

    guess they have to do it for four years like Trump.... I mean you want equal right

    the reality is, someone needs to report it, then it will be taken down, Trump was an exception to this rule for a long time... about time he is treated like anyone else

    so you think twitter should be sued for Trump's words? that is ridiculous....

    should we also sue gun sellers for murders using their guns? Should we force gun sellers to sell to people that appear angry or insane

    If you want to see violence you should read black Twitter in South Africa, the killing of whites are openly discussed and Twitter does nothing about it
