All I want to know is why now and not earlier in history. One can't tell me these companies had nothing to gain from the action. Although the ban saved lives, why this moment when the situation on hand affected only the white majority? Minorities don't physically care that the orange man is destroying the economy or constitution. |

bluefilm: Foxnews again, I know online censorship is bad, it can be exploited for political gain. I don't think any media is trying to censor Trump, he is the attacker or bully in this case. Unlike what we have in China, banning Trump helps to stemmy impending political disaster in the USA. If things had happened in the other way with the way he is trying to instigate social unrest with his supporters, people would have blamed Twitter for not doing enough to curtail him. Same thing happened in 2016 when some false news stories were being circulated on Facebook against Hillary Clinton campaign, leading to all sorts of unfounded allegations being shared regarding the email controversy, nothing has been found yet up to this moment, but it helped right wing party like Republican to gain enormous supports from voters which eventually produced Donald Trump. This event led to privacy concern in the EU and more stringent control of user data, Facebook was on the spotlight with multiple lawsuits pilling up. So Donald Trump is using the social media space to unfurl dangerous precedents in the USA polity much more than the infringement on free speech. I think this banning is a right call, this is unlike China banning Facebook and Twitter. |

greenskittles:What Jack and co. is telling us that they have preference news or statement for the world. This is social media tyrant rising. Imagine in Nigeria were election are rigged, but you are not allowed to say much. I am part of those who believe many social media including, Tv, radio, magazines are brainwasher tools. You are brainwashed to the extent you find it hard to question the news source or heard the other voice. Is dangerous going forward? |

Golan007:they have set a precedence for lower nations that look up to the US as a democracy hub. With censorship of conservatives on social media, it's all gone for bad. |

Laurene: What does precedence have to do with civility and conservation of the human race? Words matter and they always precede conflict. Freedom of speech is a farce and ultimately has one outcome. It is an ideal that can never be reached and not conditioning it is what led to the insurgency, loss of lives and almost collapse of democracy that the US tries to espouse. |

Golan007:the democrats can't be preaching about civility when they are known to be hyperactive and intolerant to opposing opinions. They lauded the desolation of lives and properties by black lives matter arsonists and antifa miscreants. Democrat politicians were caught on camera cheering the destruction of businesses and incitement of violence but the media didn't talk about it. Everything stinks of hypocrisy! I like Trump but I don't subscribe to his every act. His personality isn't the fault at all. Democrats has always loathed conservatives since Bush vs Gore incident.Trump just gave them a reason to justify their hate. 1 Like |
