The President is prevented from 'shutting down' Twitter or Farcebook or any other discussion forum BY the 1st Amendment(Government cannot limit or stop freedom of expression). Unfortunately that Amendment only applies to Government limitations and does NOT prohibit those same forums from limiting or stopping Conservative speech and freedom of expression. And therein lies the great inequity...........and the fake news both outright and by omission.

The threat came after Twitter added fact-check links to his tweets for the first time.
Well it's about bloody time, but they should've done that ages ago, as he's the greatest source of fake news around.

Ah so you argue private property is unfair? After all those forums are private property!

Plenty of places for the alt-right to post. 99.9% of which can't be linked because of the rules at the left.

What the issue is, only a tiny fraction of the world thinks the same as the alt-right, so none of these dozens of sites has any viral action. They fail. Never mind no one wants to advertise on them because of their message and tiny viewership.

What ever King Donald comes up with will also blast these out of the water.

Mark my words, he will issue some kind of executive claptrap than will violate the constitution, if for no other reason than to make twitter spend money on lawyers! Yes, King Donald is petty.

PS, News is news, opinion is like an a-hole, everyone has one and it spews ____

Like most of Trump's threats this one is a non event. He is living in an alternate universe.

In the USA. Private, non Governmental organizations, have this right. Unless one wishes for Government Authority to make these decisions for private enterprises.

Does anyone really want a Bozo Biden type or a Disgusting Donald type having this authority?

Yes, this applies to both sides.

I have NO problem with these forums being placed in the same category as the lame stream media. Remove the liability exemption and make them accountable for what they allow to be published on their sites. Fact checking IS a two way street...........

If you remove the liability exemption add a minimum billion dollar insurance requirement to operate a web site, because after all hate speech can cause a lot of damage in a very short time.

Trump's move against Twitter factchecking could backfire.

But the regulation could backfire, at least in terms of creating the internet Trump desires. By barring social media companies from using the nuanced forms of moderation they currently employ, the executive order could force them to resort to heavy-handed actions: deleting posts, or blocking users, rather than simply factchecking or reducing the reach of the worst material.
Yep blocking that lying clown v2.0 from posting would cure a lot of ills.

This has opened up a fetid trawl of Trump's tweets:


Twitter hides Trump tweet for 'glorifying violence'



How many more people are to be harmed, hurt, or get killed until that mess is tidied up?

Quite an unholy mess...

Here's hoping good sense prevails against deadly politics and jingoism, 'misinformation', and senseless violence. There is no glory there.


Only in the USA?

Soooo........under their 'community standards' banner shouldn't twitter be obliged to also hide comments calling for the destruction of Israel by Iranian leaders?........

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-iran-leaders-trade-twitter-blows/ar-BB14nLQJ

.....or just admit to the fact that 'community standards' really means 'community double standards'...........

I see that v2.0 has been blubbering his head off all night (my time) trying to throw more fake blame at others to try and distract the public away from his continuing and never ending failures.

Yet more Trumped political theatre:


Trump issues toothless exec order to show donors, fans he's doing something about those Twitter twerps
wrote:
... "This executive order is egregiously excessive with clearly malevolent intent to suppress free speech," said US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), via Twitter. "It is a blatant attempt to use the full power of the United States government to force private companies to lie for the President."

Twitter itself branded the order "reactionary and politicized," in a tweet...

... The Electronic Frontier Foundation in a blog post said the order won't survive judicial scrutiny.

EFF staff attorney Aaron Mackey, in a phone interview with The Register, said the executive order is legally nothing in the sense that Trump can't rewrite the law. But, he said, that doesn't mean it will be inconsequential. "This is a clear effort to retaliate and attack online platforms and intimidate them...



Grab the headlines!... So what are we being distracted from?...

Only in the USA?
