I strongly believe that what affected Donald Trump's election was the negative things that he said.
Power they say is in the tongue and so therefore we should be careful with what we say always.
Trump makes careless comments and in some situations comments capable of inciting violence.

I stand with Trump and Biden on this. Banning Twitter is a very good decision.

I hope the Twitter CEO will learn his lessons from this ban and improve.

If it were to be in Nigeria, haters and wailers would have started insulting Buhari but here Americans are calm.

God bless Trump
God bless Biden

But it wasn't like that when the same Twitter and Facebook was used to incite the destruction of private and public properties in Nigeria. Police officers were killed, burnt and their flesh eaten in Ibadan and Twitter and Facebook saw nothing wrong in that..... Hypocrite of the highest order. Trump just exposed America double standards democrazy.

Ironically they were once like us. That development started when they started questioning things. We have not even started asking those critical questions sef amd those who do are villified. Sad

Here's part of the German Chancellor's reaction to all these:
"Angela Merkel, German chancellor, has sharply criticised Twitter’s decision to ban US president Donald Trump, calling it a “problematic” breach of the “fundamental right to free speech”.

But Ms Merkel said through her spokesman that the US government should follow Germany’s lead in adopting laws that restrict online incitement, rather than leaving it up to platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to make up their own rules."

How do they determine the 'risk' a tweet poses?
Are there any CLEAR policy positions for conduct of those who post?

Without clear guidelines the platforms will end up becoming the law, the jury and the judge in themselves.

Hypocrisy at its peak.

Why didn't they think this when their platform was being used to destroy other countries like Libya.

While I'm not in support of the EndSars riot, I can't blame this guy for supporting the movement. He probably didn't know it had a political undertone and most of those so-called protesters are actually protedlums (half protesters, half hoodlums); they're hoodlums when burning the country but peaceful protesters when the government charges them to court.

Since u no all their names, what are d names of those that attacked & killed protesters in Benin, Lagos, Abuja & osogbo? What are d names of those who provided logistics for them?

I feel the problem with anonymous, decentralized networks is that they're hotbeds for crime- imagine a social network with no moderation at all. Isis and Boko Haram would probably even use it to openly recruit. After all, nobody's there to stop them. At the same time, we also have concerns about balancing free speech with moderating violence. Trump had to be banned, he was too dangerous for a normal, sane society. But the people angry about free speech being suppressed have legitimate concerns. Should we really give one man (Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Seun Osewa, etc) the power to control discussion? Give them the right to be the ultimate judge? Yes, it's their platform, private property, but that kind of sole power makes them the judge and the jury, the ultimate arbiter of public discussion. This whole issue is a real head scratcher.
It's a definite head scratcher. I do appreciate the way Jack balanced the situation up. On one hand, it's almost as though he and Mark are playing God, but on the other hand, if such narratives aren't controlled and effectively shut down, where necessary, what happened on Capitol Hill could be the first of many, not only on American soil, but in many other majir cities of the world. We saw how Twitter helped #EndSARS get the much needed global attention, now imagine something much more negative getting that amount of traction yet can't be shut down since the Internet service is now anonymous and decentralised. Scary stuff.

I still prefer Jack to Mark though.
