one man one vote is a scam because people in densely populated think the same. And that means that all the big cities will pick the president which is retardation

So you are against democratic elections?
Using the same logic would you be fine with the North deciding every election for Nigeria since most don't live in cities?

Abeg whatever community policing, regional security or whatever should come fast. After years this thing is still going on.

Imo State again?

Abeg what is happening lately?

SLAP44:
Afenifere is very correct to say that.

I've seen malnourished children but not something this bad, please who did Nigeria offend?

While this statement is true it is not much of an achievement. It's like claiming to be the tallest dwarf.

Nice .

Trump has been fighting Twitter since 2016. Get that into your head. TRUMP HAS ATTACKED them as tool of the leftist in the past. Maybe u need to read his posts in 2016 2017..

European Union is not autocratic or theocratic, yet they are boxing Twitter.

Twitter is not holy heaven. They have political alignment. One of their investor is a Democrat donor. So trump know who is fighting. You people don't know what is going on.

Twitter staff who is in charge of fact checking trump has twitted insult at Trump in 2018.

What is going on is political war. Don't take side. Stay out of it ofcourse except if u support Democrats.

But if u are a neutral, stay out of it so God will not punish you for ignorance

Trump only started attacking them when he was breaking terms of service and posting lies.

The EU laws are about consumer data protection and invasion of already existing privacy laws not about speech.

Trump has also insulted American citizens, law makers and soldiers I don't see you complaining about that.

Trump continues to break twitter rules yet his comments are not removed or moderated due to the nature of his office. He has been given more than enough concessions but he isn't satisfied.

How can this be political? Trump is purposefully manipulating the laws to prevent others from criticising him.

Your bias and ignorance is overwhelming.

kokaneprodigy:
Obviously you don’t understand this bill.

Where did you read he wants to silence them.

Trump is accusing them of selective censorship, since there’s a disclaimer already stating this platforms are not liable to posts on their platform why censor and at worst censor selectively. How’s this censorship.

He just wants to make them liable now so that when people post things you don’t like on their platform and they fail to delete it in a stipulated time you can sue them. Not the selective deletion they do and I support it cos Nairaland is equally quilts of this.

The bill is stupid because then Twitter is being punished for what the users said. If you have a problem take it up with the user.

Would you sue a paper company for the words of a book writing slander against you?

How will this work when a large number of users are bots or troll accounts?

kokaneprodigy:
Before I answer you, I will like you to explain what Trump is proposing.

I want to know if you understand what the bill is about?

You can also read provision 2 of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

(2)Civil liability No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—

(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected

See how it contradicts with this?

When an interactive computer service provider removes or restricts access to content and its actions do not meet the criteria of subparagraph (c)(2)(A), it is engaged in editorial conduct. It is the policy of the United States that such a provider should properly lose the limited liability shield of subparagraph (c)(2)(A) and be exposed to liability like any traditional editor and publisher that is not an online provider.

Meaning that all websites not just Twitter and Facebook are liable for what people say on their website because removing comments that infringe on the site rules are 'editorialising'.

He views private companies like Facebook and Twitter as government entities

It is the policy of the United States that large online platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, as the critical means of promoting the free flow of speech and ideas today, should not restrict protected speech. The Supreme Court has noted that social media sites, as the modern public square, “can provide perhaps the most powerful mechanisms available to a private citizen to make his or her voice heard.”

But the first ammendment specifically says that free speech laws apply to the government not private entities.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

When Trump signed up for Twitter he agreed to their rules. Trump can say whatever but Twitter also has the right to moderate their websites.


So now tell me, if Buhari wanted to pass a law making nairaland liable for the comments of it's users because it enforces it's rules and thus could be prosecuted for such would you support it?

Because that was what the defeated social media bill was proposing.

See why comprehensive sex education and access to contraception is massively needed.

hotwax:
Twitter rule is not above the law of free speech of a country. China and some Arab countries have banned Twitter in the past because its operations conflicts with their government interest. Europian union was attacking this same Twitter before Trump Wade in and fought for Twitter.

You people supporting left should read books.

China is pretty much a dictatorship and most Arabian countries are either theocracies or dictatorships that want to keep their people docile and misinformed. These are the same countries Trump has insulted time without number for oppressing their people yet here you are using them to defend Trump's actions.

You are massive contradicting yourself, Trump supported Twitter until he broke the rules now he wants to silence them for enforcing their own rules.

You still haven't answered my question, would you support this action if Buhari was doing it for nairaland?

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
A great news, but they still have a long way to go, before y’all scream racism, the police officer and late George were coworkers

Don’t let the media deceive you cause we are in an election year, the police officer had been reported 12 times and nothing was done under the governors and mayors, Amy klobucher, a prospective vp nominee of the Democratic Party had the chance to bring this man to book but she didn’t, but now screams racism than the bereaved George family, turning the 2 races towards each other, is their goal, their objective has been achieved, which is a police state in Minneapolis, people targeting cops and burning 3 police stations, but couldn’t stop the cop when he choked the late George to death, never knew people will rather get cheap likes and views than save a fellow human, looting of target and Walmart store, and what? And not achieving our aim to stop racism and police brutality, cause this has been hijacked by scrupulous elements, I pray he gets served and sentenced according to law, if the media calls this police brutality, It’s still acceptable but referring to this as racism is utter rubbish, cause one of the 4 police officers that held him down was an Asian

Funny how black celebrities encourage violence against police and private individuals, but won’t get involve in it...

Look beyond the lines, be factual instead of being emotional, an igbo man was killed in India 2 days ago, I didn’t see any outrage from any nigerians but will masturbate over Americans issue

I smell hypocrisy or only black American lives matters

If you mention my moniker by calling me unfounded names, I’ll curse you vigorously in my dialect, I mean it, you’re warned!

What a stupid comment, people tried to intervene but were stopped. In America when you go against cops they can kill you and nothing will be done about it.

akinjojo1234:
The truth is most of these WHITES actually value their pets like cats and dogs more than BLACKS. It's the sad reality of living in the US. The racism there is out of this world and it's not going to end today

I heard that if black people wanted to go to the dentist in the 60s they would use the same tools used to treat the teeth of dogs.

Remember that some people who were in their 20s during this period are still alive today.

kokaneprodigy:
My point exactly, Twitter and co including Nairaland are becoming politically aligned.

Plus they have a disclaimer which states “you are responsible for what you post and the site is not liable” yet they go about censoring posts that they don’t feel comfortable with. Make them stand for one place.

And to those comparing it with what Buhari wanted to do I’m not surprised, comprehension has never been APShit supporters forte.

Nairaland has rules, if you break the rules they will remove your post. Twitter also has rules, if you want to be a violent racist then go to Stormfront where they allow that.

Trump is acting like a baby and you guys keep defending this crap.

Tell me honestly if Buhari made such a bill for nairaland would you support it?

I wonder what Trump fans are going to say to defend this nonsense.


If it was Buhari now they would go gaga....

These monkeys were clearly hired by China to steal the cure from India.

Audio house. Even davido himself said he is not a billionaire. The house was bought or rented by his father

Haba you think Davido can't afford a house like that?

Vanity upon vanity.

That guy didn't say they don't have more Muslims, he only said that Indians are not muslims

But India has a sizeable are Muslims population, or is there something I'm missing?

Queenyprinxex:
That serves him right.
They should learn the hardest way.

Ok let me slap my girlfriend because she cheated on me before...

Though the man is a dishonest cheat the woman is abusive and he should just leave her.

Ishaquine:
172 million muslims, 14.2% of their population of 1.353 billion people

So like I said there are more Muslims in India than in Nigeria...

tungamaje:
I don't believe it was ordinary soft drink his brother consumed. I have observed that more young men nowadays sip these soft drinks especially Fanta and Smoov more frequently. I shared my observation with someone and he told me these boys take TMD with these drinks. They dissolve it in the bottle. Maybe his brother consuming his stuff infuriated him

Maybe he was just a special combination of stupid and hungry.

yomislim:
and who told you Indian are Muslims??

.
Very few of them are alayee

There are more Muslims in India than in Nigeria.

CeeJay9ja:
Muslim women look like...?

To him they look like curtain and bed sheets.

Jeromejnr:
Last time I checked the leftists let the media do the thinking for them.

So in which division of the left are you, gay, confused fluid gender neutral, tran, satanist, feminist? You guys always come up with new groups so I would have missed out on mentioning more groups.

In your case it's Fox News, propaganda and pastors after your wallet making adults babble nonsense and telling Jewish tales by the moonlight doing your own thinking for you.

Timi141:
Nigerian Trump supporters annoy the fvck out of me.

How can you call CNN fake news and legitimize Breitbart, Fox news and the rest of the Facebook conspiracy theorists.?

CNN is a reputable organization built on top notch journalism. Their opinion segments may be biased to a left of center perspective but at least they don't manipulate or alter facts.

I really don't know what it is about Trump that makes sane people turn to asslicking idiots.

Trump appeals to the self centred and hateful segment of Christians with a severe persecution complex and desire to eliminate anything that doesn't comform to the societal standards of the 1950s.

Because in their eyes Trump is 'fighting the good fight' against their 'enemies' they will bend over backwards to support him. They don't know that Trump also considers them to be enemies.

Jeromejnr:
When your minds are liberated and can think and research for yourselves.

The Christian Trump supporter is telling me to think and research for myself, isn't that the definition of irony?

For all the talk about being independent thinkers all you Trump supporters sound the same.

Jeromejnr:
CNN is fake news so...

With their Liberal agenda.

Oh no their evil agenda of reporting the news, however can we survive such oppression.
