I don't know the details, but I don't think these companies made it so certain content couldn't be viewed, they just prioritized the content that people see when they search or look at a timeline or feed. If they didn't organize content like this, their services wouldn't be very useful at all.

Apparently you don't.

I mean, outside of a couple of cases like that Milo guy. There are always a few people that are going to cross the line wherever it is. So, NBD.

And the biggest thing that a large number of people bitched about, by far, was actually facebook's news feed. Almost no one cares about a handful of cases like Milo.

So I guess censorship is okay in your eyes?

Like facebook's ban on nudity? Sure. It's fine.

i didn't know that instapundit account was removed. i follow it and saw tweets from it this morning.

disirregardlessly, yes, that is censorship.

Again, I don't think anyone is claiming this stuff is illegal. However, it is problematic in the same way many people have issues with the Citizens' United opinion (or even the taking of campaign contributions from foreign governments). It unquestionably can have an impact on the political process.

I just don't want to live in a country where I can't get my pics of mulatto penises and unbiased political commentary in the same place.

You will be able to get all of that and more on the MAGA Network.

i agree with everything you said. ideally, social networks would not engage in bias or censorship.

I have been banned from shaggy twice because they don't accept anyone left of W or people that call out racism. Racists really really hate being called out on being racist.

People are upset about twitter and fb censoring crap? Who gives a eff.

I got banned from texags for doing a fighting you thread. also that shitty isu board.

I got banned from phog long, long ago for multiple accounts. In addition to my regular scout ID, I was also FieroHawk. Had a profile pic of a Fiero and posted a bunch of really dumb stuff like suggesting super lame new verses for the fight song. I was pretty proud of it.

I got banned from a Boise State board because I got on there and told them they would kick the crap out of La Salle.

WILL NOT BE WELCOME AT TRUMP TV!

steve dave · « **Reply #5170 on:** October 20, 2016, 02:04:15 PM »

already positioning his network as the extreme right alternative to slightly less extreme right fox news is pretty smart. stunz may be onto something with his 4d stuff.

No way Hannity would have leaked the debate questions to Hillary.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #5172 on:** October 20, 2016, 02:06:17 PM »

Apparently they did a streaming version of what future Trump TV would look like last night after the debate and they got 200,000 viewers.

chum1 · « **Reply #5173 on:** October 20, 2016, 02:28:55 PM »

I think that Trump himself ran out of content a while ago.

It's a 3d chess move, people take the bait when he's technically not wrong, he could easily be referencing the debate with Bernie, bringing attention the cheating there and leaks. Hook line and sinker as the white people say.
