Basically if Jack Dorsey wakes up tommorow and is annoyed by any world leader, he can just delete their account.


If he disagrees with the opinion of anyone in opposition, poof they're gone.

The new world order might just be here already.

We both know this is not what happened with Trump. We all know this

Trump owes a huge chunk of his popularity he has to that app. He was allowed more than enough rope

pamcode:
I swear. This is new world order movie levels we are seeing. A whole POTUS dragged in the mud like a common criminal. The media and celebrities have always been gunning for him since the campaign days of his first term. I have never seen such media backed opposition against an individual in my life.

But you didn't have issues with him dragging professional athletes, politicians, journalists and Doctors in the mud for most of his administration. Lol una go soon talk as e dey do una

iamJ:
they attacked the capital of the united states

Na ment? Wetin dey do una, we are talking about white privilege, everybody knows that he deserves what he is getting instead of una to focus on why police suddenly became lenient and talk about reforms, you are fighting because a fool was blocked from causing more chaos

Na ment? Dem swear for black man, wetin na

Loool Nigerians are tiring. Always fighting for the wrong things. I no know whether na swear

Just see this one for example. If not MENT why will you even let this yarns leave your sitting room

sod09:
Simple
I mean I don't like this man one bit, but banning him everywhere is a solution or adding fuel to fire

You don't negotiate with cancer you uproot. if those lawmakers were killed. We will be having a very different conversation

afrodoc2:
What the left did in the post-election period is not the same thing as what Trump did, and I don’t think it is comparable.

Trump essentially instigated a populist coup. He invited his followers to the capital with the objective of subverting the democratic process and halting the handover of government extrajudicially.

He had also previously set the tone for the whole situation by being divisive and using social media as a propaganda tool to spread hate and misinformation.

What he did has more similarity to what the Nazis did in the period before Kristallnacht. There is a difference between merely having different political views or holding a different political position AND actively encouraging a mob to interfere with a democratic handover of power.

Now whether Twitter and Facebook should have such censorial power is a different debate. But let’s not minimise Trump’s actions by comparing it to anything the left or indeed the right did after the elections.

I find it disturbing that educated minds are conflating the two. Almost feel like I'm in a time machine to Weimar Germany 1933 where people were also reasoning with Hitler and seeing sense in some of his rhetoric.

This man went on a one man full on assault on the oldest democracy on the planet. What Trump attempted is what Babangida pulled off. Trump would have annulled that election if he could. But all I see is people playing devil's advocate.

Amoto94:
Same

Good. Jack does not see it that way.

MAGA and Trumpism will not suddenly vanish because of Trump's ban but he has done his part to cut off the head of the snake from his platform.

It's a free world and nothing stops Trump and his supporters from building their platform and spewing their divisive agenda there.

Amoto94:
No one is denying the fact that Trump is a dangerous man and from the stupidest of leaders the world has witnessed in modern era I ranked him in the same category with his counterparts in UK and Brazil but the question begging for answers is why the sudden change of tactics when it's no longer good for business? Why should tech giants arrogate powers to themselves when you know that they're partisan and can decide to do as they wish and pay lobbyists to clean up their mess?

Events of last week is enough for this drastic turn. It's not a one off or spur of the moment ban as they made clear. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

I would ask again. What would have been your response had several lawmakers and the VP gotten killed or injured. 5 people died in that incident. 5!

Amoto94:
China is laughing at Western countries and their allies like this and others are seeing the danger first-hand. Turkey is about switching to its own platform, India is warming up and the domino effect has set in already as the share price of Twitter has dropped since the last episode.

We shouldn't be selective in our pursuant of Justice in as much as I am against free speech granting tech companies right of arbitration is dangerous because they have biases and holding them accountable will be difficult as they can wriggle themselves out of any legal implication by lobbying and prolonging litigation

China and Turkey are not worthy examples. Twitter would not even be functional in those countries so I don't see why they are the bastions of Censorship.

My question is how much more wiggle room do you suggest these companies should have given Trump to continue his insurrection agenda. How many people have to die because a despotic leader has refused to accept defeat.

People are pretending like there is any leader in the world presently that has been as disruptive as Trump on any media space. Had GEJ pulled this off in 2019 using social media as a tool to heat up the polity over an election he soundly lost would you keep this energy?

President does not entitle you to immunity on social media

AmazonTopaz:
Pence own weak me a man asked his supporters to march to the capitol he and his enablers used violent rhetorics knowing fully well your wife and daughter were with you he put your lives in danger his supporters were saying"hang mike pence" but you still continue as VP or don't invoke the 25th.The tweets below says it all and this man wants to be president in 2024 he is the GOP's best bet but not many American's will forget this or his role in this administration he had the chance to do the right thing he refused.

Pence is a weakling same way Ted Cruz is a weakling. At some point in a man's life you should be able to have conviction and contentment to not stoop to certain levels. After kowtowing to Trump and still getting thrown under the bus does he think the MAGA base don't still see him as a traitor?

Pence is too weak and mid a candidate to beat anybody the Dems put forth. What is his personality and what would convince a swing voter to even vote for Pence? He should have gone out with his sword on Trump or gone full rogue and endorse this impeachment. Right now he is lukewarm tea that would be spat out

Amoto94:
Isn't this criminalization of free speech and tech giants being partisan in this regard because for years now some leaders have been making statements dangerous for peace but they didn't take decisive actions against them? The action taken by the tech giants are Orwellian in nature, it has set a dangerous precedent in the sense that countries with capacity but reluctant to build their platforms will now go ahead to build one and force citizens to sign up. Also, allowing tech giants to unilaterally decide what's right and what's wrong is dangerous for civil conversation because once they don't agree with you even if what you're saying is the truth they will remove your content and suspend your account.

So your grouse is not even that Trump has done wrong. It's whataboutism. Do you expect Jack to be as vested in other countries as he is in his own?

Do you know how many times you would be suspended if you tweeted the exact same things Trump tweeted? Even on this Nairaland aren't there rules governing what you can say and what you can't say.

Maybe if more people died in that attempted coup you would have a different opinion.

AmazonTopaz:
You are not smart at all.

Comparing apples to oranges I am sure you must have been one of those so called conservatives that supported a baker who refused to bake cake for a gay couple for their wedding his excuse was his beliefs don't support it conservatives quickly jumped into the bandwagon defended him and said it was his private job and he can do what he wants is it not you lots that are for free markets and private businesses are at liberty to decide what they want so why are you crying foul that Trump was banned if you or I were posting what Trump was posting we would have been banned years ago so keep quiet Trump broke their rules even in the freest of all societies there are rules you don't use public/private platforms to spread hate,fear and violence and don't expect repercussions.

Comparing what happened to Trump a ban by a private company to a government known for it's third world policies is beyond foolish.Ask yourself if Trump's twitter ban and what Uganda's government did are the same thing you are comparing private ban to government when it is government that can make or mar those companies you are not okay at all

You can always count on RepubliKKAns for their double standards and hypocrisy.

A sitting President told insurrectionists go home we love you, you're special, I know how you feel over an election even his fellow Republicans admitted he lost. But called NFL players sons of bitches simply for kneeling to bring attention to racial injustice. That is who these nutjobs and Uncle Tom's are here defending.

How much of a vajayjay is Mike Pence. So you lacked the balls to do Trump's bidding or attempt to even though he orchestrated an invasion that could have cost you your life. And now you're afraid to go full rogue and oversee his impeachment?

Does he think MAGATs have not cancelled him already?

Afromentalist:
Kyrie spotted celebrating his sister birthday.

At this point the nets will regret not trading him for James harden. Wtf is wrong with that brother

Even KD go dey regret like this. Hitching the rest of his prime to a head case that cannot be held accountable

birdman:
didnt he make all star in his last year with utah? apart from injuries, I always get the feeling there is a mental block that prevents him from being a superstar. some days the guy will amaze you. other days, its like he is not on the court. celtics were hoping he would be larry birdesque. It just never worked out.

You're right. Consistency is not his strong suit and he can be passive on offense but he's a well rounded player. He does a lot of good things on the court when healthy and engaged

LordReed:
Whoever killed Martin Luther Jr thought the Civil Rights movement would fizzle out, its a mistake to think that Trump out of the picture will kill this maga thing.

Surely you can't be comparing civil rights movement to neo Nazis and fascist movements. That's unless you're telling us to prepare for WWIII/Armageddon type extinction level event which will fit in perfectly with end time prophecy

Dapcity007:
We will fight abortion to avoid Infant genocide
We prevent LGBTQ+ to avoid confusion and chaos
We continue to carry gun and bear arms to prevent tyranny and criminals especially those fatherless ones from Democrats single mothers and anti family values states

You want to prevent Gays and lesbians that have been existing since the time of Jesus? Lol una dey MENT?

If God wanted everyone straight he would have made them straight. People's sexual orientation is not your business. So long as it's between two consenting adults. That's between them and their creator

Their reproductive health is not your business too Mr Mussolini. Say na we will fight abortion. Clown

I've said my piece. If you right wing nut jobs spent more time developing tech platforms instead of being in other people's business you wouldn't be in this mess

wirinet:
If fraudulent ballots were cast in Pennsylvania, how then do you think Trump and his supporters should seek redress. Start a civil war? Or break up the union so Trump can be president of only his support base?

If African leaders follow Trump's example, then the continent would be in a State of perpetual civil war.

Trump is just making me appreciate president Jonathan more who stated, and I quote
"my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian". And I was never a fan of President Jonathan.

Believe me, Trump can never win the violence he is trying to instigate.

Exactly. It's what I tell the Nigerian Trumpers. Replace Trump with Buhari and tell me how you would respond if Buhari lost in 2019 and was behaving in such a despotic manner

Just look at this ignorant Nigerian Trumpanzee for example.

sanpipita:
Conservatives haven't been planning for the future that's why, how will they create their platform when they are not progressive, left for them nobody will be using internet.

Even the parler they boast of is under threat by big tech, when liberals were investing in technology Conservatives were doing Bible and insha allah, for many years these people were preaching against technology now they are surprised they can't control it.

Next time let them learn JavaScript, PHP instead of worrying about abortion, people's sexual orientation and ability to carry guns. All which are of no use to them right now

AmazonTopaz:
With what the FBI is reporting about possible attack in all 50 states capitols.


It is obvious that Trumpism is not ending on January 20th it is going to outlive Trump.This problem came before Trump he only escalated it and it will outlive him whether or not people are abandoning him.Trumpism stays for now it is not ending anytime soon.

Obviously not. The question is would they have the numbers to be able to influence a Presidential election again. Will we ever see a scenario where independents and swing voters will see a polarizing candidate like Trump and pick a side rather than sitting on the fence

I don't think there is any doubt that there are enough Trumpies to cause unrest everywhere..

Dapcity007:
Only awoke leftist cut him off

We conservatives are strongly at his back

Although I'm a reformed moderate conservative

I'm still pro-MAGA and pro-Trump

I'm not a Trumpist but a conservative

Romney, Bush, Schwarzenegger, Deutsche Bank are also woke leftists?

The only function for you so called Trumpies is to heat up the polity and disrupt things. Trump will never be able to run for any office again and anybody associated to him to contest would be avoided like a plague.

The focus of all Trumpies right now should be how you can mobilize to continue funding the grifter.

BraniacX:
It seems I owe Raumdeuter an apology, I'm sorry bro, you were right on the money and I was wrong trump is a no no for everyone now

He's a fool and he overplayed his hand. Now he's radioactive and everyone that matters sees him as a loose end that must be cut.

edi287:
Ben Shapiro has been talking about the right having their own social media platform or whatever for years but they still cry over Twitter.
Milo Yiannopolus said Twitter was going to fail and was rejoicing yet cried like a baby when he got banned permanently.
The problem with most mainstream conservatives is they envy the publicity/numbers their Liberal counterparts get. That's why whenever a Liberal doesn't want to engage them, they start talking about "safe spaces" and what not.
Fox News is the biggest News corporation and leans to the right, yet its CNN that these psychos will call "fake news" and not being objective.

I find it shocking that the entire right wing could not build a veritable platform to continue to propagate their garbage.

You mean they spent 4 years spewing Big Tech, Big Data like zombies and couldn't make any contingency plans? Disgraceful.

So you can't create your own platforms? You can't abide by the rules of others. You just want freedom to continue spewing lie after lie and enabling a despot who is hell-bent on destroying the oldest democracy on the planet

salford1:
A decent man.

Bill Belichick of all people. I didn't see it coming. Raumdeuter to his credit was right. The rate at which everyone is abandoning Trump like a leprous witch is very funny

https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-trump-deutsche-bank/-deutsche-bank-will-not-do-future-business-with-trump-nyt-idUSL8N2JN16V

Deutsche Bank with another banger. Trumpanzees are wailing on social media instead of contributing to pay his gbese of almost $400m

etidy:
Where was this hayward on the Celtics?

People were acting like he was some bum. When his real issue was injuries on injuries. If he's healthy he's a fringe all star or at least a guy that can give you an efficient 18-5-4

chic2pimp:
Bill is not going to accept the Presidential Medal of honour Trump was due to give Him on Thursday. My respect for that man just went up a couple of notches.

I was shocked. The man is about to become a pariah nobody will touch with a 10 foot pole. All for what? All because he refused to accept a loss in an election he was soundly beaten in

People were really trolling the GOAT for giving Hayward that bag. What do you have to say for yourselves now?

Lamelo really showing he should have been #1 pick because that guy in Minnesota is already showing bust potential

— Arnold Schwarzenegger (@Schwarzenegger) January 10, 2021

Schwarzenegger just speaking out but what a speech. Expect more of this moving forward. Trump would be treated like a leprous witch even by Republicans. MAGATS will have to form another party entirely and be unable to hide under the shield of conservatism

LoyalHustler1:
Biden is going to jail.

Just watch out.

Stop listening to main stream media.

There are arrest going on now as we speak


MAGA!!!

The united States military are aware of the corruption and now they are ready to drain the swamp.

There are videos of national guards storming washington DC today, thousands of them.

Something big is coming and Many Dems will be arrested.

Listen and listen carefully, common sense should have told you all ignorant Dems supporters that there is a reason why they wanted to quickly impeach trump but it is too late already.

The swamp is getting drained already.

by the order of Ishawuru.

Lool e no go better for who do you this thing walahi

salford1:
I could not even be bothered to reply his last comment. He said they weren't trying to take over the government. I guess the insurrectionist just decided to break into the capitol to snap selfies with the V.President, the senators and the reps.

I shudder at the thought of what could have happened if those vagrants had laid hands on Pence, other RINO lawmakers or someone like Pelosi

Roland17:
Here we go again!! I am glad you can not deny the fact that this is most loaded/ healthy team in the NFL. The fact that they have AB and Gronk and are now in the playoffs is a testament of the quality of their depth chart.
Haha, dropped by a tanking Jags only means the Jags had no intention of winning entering this season and could not afford to keep him for a tanking season, that was easy for anyone to see. He was so bad that the Bucs prioritized getting him as their RB? If he was a scrub how come he found his way to a win now team and is showing it in the post season? Abeg find another talk!!

Guess who is winning the MVP this season? You know it!!!

Are you downplaying the importance of chemistry and rust. Isn't Rodgers playing better than he did last year?

They were not winning even with Fournette. Did you see his numbers last season? Even this season his numbers are still rubbish. He was a cheap pickup that was available because no other team wanted him

chic2pimp:
Heck even your defensive coordinator also needs to be looked at. Allowing almost half a century of points in a playoff game is a Big No no. Now if it was against an elite QB like Brady or Rodgers, I'd understand but not Baker freaking Mayfield.

Everybody gotta go tbh
