Anyone heard Trump wants to shut down twitter for fact checking hin?

Yeah, I was thinking about the "platform vs publisher" angle, and whether they're opening themselves up to a duty they can't possibly meet.

Put another way, were they in danger of being held liable for Trumps tweets? If the answer is "No", then if your butt is already covered by doing nothing, the last thing you want to do is take an action that upsets the apple cart.

That's the correct approach. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

They need to keep their section 230 immunity. Multiple cases exist, now, related to the YouTube censorship...so this mess was only a matter of time.

Well now it's clear twitter isn't being consistent with how they apply their fact checking, etc.

They had a chance to be consistent and failed. Oh well, whatever happens is on them now *shrug*

Like many issues in the US this also is split more or less along party lines. Democrats tend to believe there was a conspiracy, and especially that there was one that was designed to interfere with the investigation, while Republicans tend to believe it was all made up and Trump and his team were completely exonerated.

There just isn't very much of a shared political reality in the United States at this point, almost everything has turned partisan.

What do independents think?

Democrats don't just believe Russia tried to interfere or even that the Trump campaign was aware of what was going on and didn't care. The narrative they pushed was that Trump was actively colluding with Putin and this turned out to be false.

So to see so many people in the media clutching pearls over a conspiracy being pushed(and I honestly give two shits about this f*cking intern) is funny to me.

Nobody acted like a Karen and called the manager over Russian conspiracies. Why?

Double trigger warning here, one warning cuz it's a Tim Pool video and another because it obliterates a left wing narrative:

Twitter Admits Its Bias, REFUSES To Fact Check Democrats Who Lied
