The point is if they had more power they'd have made policy changes. You know it, I know it.

What policy changes would they make?

Besides being concerned about the possibility of a foreign power employing propaganda on social media to influence an election is not the same thing as the president of the US targeting a company with an executive action because they published an opinion he didn’t like.

Hell even if Trump was utilizing congress to do this would be not that concerning because that’s how policy is supposed to be made. He’s trying to bypass that through executive order. Of course it will get shot down in court if he even ever actually signs any kind of executive order.

On the other hand: folk who pushed a russian conspiracy for years should probably not be whining about this shit.

Correct, you do eSign a EULA when you sign up for Twitter (I've never used it, but I know they have one), so you're agreeing to abide by their rules.

But I still think it's important to point out that Twitter did not censor Trump, his tweets can still be read as he wrote them. Trumpers are showing their true colors here once again.

They'd wanna prevent shit like those ads.

And it's a private company, that is the defense used when Trump goes after them.

So the "private company" argument applies to both or neither.

Out of curiosity, who here feels they will be consistent with this?

More cheerleading.

This is why comparing theoretical possibilities to something that is actually happening is worthless. We know what Trump is now attempting. We have no way of knowing what policy, if any, the Democrats would put in place.

I just say don't gas light me and pretend the democrats are any different here.

Well yeah, the only difference is power not how they feel about the 1st amendment. Surely you know this. Come on now.

By your definition of cheerleading it applies to him.

You gonna change the definition or just lie? Either one will be allowed, especially the lie 🙂

What are the specifics of what Trump is trying to impose on them?

Surt stop being unbearable. You're being like one of those Star Wars Forum teenagers that wants to start an argument constantly but doesn't actually want to debate or learn but rather just win. Stop taking people out of context then engaging in ad-hominem attacks. The next stage when you are like this is you then pretend you won. It's funny stuff!

This is what you do every time you can't openly defend a shitty thing from Trump, you defend it from the sidelines and when that fails you try and equalize it. Maybe just call a turd a turd, regardless that you're a Trumper.

ps Democrats > you

Dude, the hypocrisy of this post is off the charts.

I love that someone will be dumb enough to agree with you too 🙂

I wish you would use the same colored glasses with Bashar, he's unbearable at this point. Maybe you could give him some lessons on life.

It’s impossible to know because it hasn’t happened yet. If and when they get into power and begin targeting the first amendment rights of publications they disagree with then you can say they’re the same in that respect. Otherwise is to just deal with your feelings vs what is actually occurring.
