It should be obliterated.

It's just strange to me that when conservatives complain about social media the response is "muh private company" and then the same side saying that turns around and cries Facebook doesn't censor enough people and ads and floats vague notions about how the government needs to do something about it if Facebook won't.

But we do have more evidence of bias:

It's over a month old. Not removed. Not censored in any way.

Someone come say twitter ain't bias 🙂

Both sides seem to want regulation in some form, but one seems to want more speech allowed and one wants less speech allowed.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. 😄

Unless it's the hands that are broken that is.

Whirly, you're really giving me "Evangelical parents who think D&D is Satanism" vibes these days. Except now it's "WhatsApp is Nazism", which is just as funny and just as silly.

Hillary Clinton of all people standing up for Israel. Well, now I've seen it all lol.

Hillary is a populist. In 2008, showing solidarity with Israel was important to appeal to voters based on the current political landscape.

Hillary? A populist? Sorry, I call BS on that, DDD. Trump is a populist. Hillary is a part of the establishment elite.

Perhaps you could argue she used to be but that was a long time ago. Honestly though, I don't see how anyone could ever see her as being a populist.

It's what she tried to do in 2016, as well. It is also why she failed:

Yes, imo it should, but the devil's in the details.

I think people should also be better educated, and frequently reminded, about the dangers of social media.

Maybe social media sites should come with warning labels.

I say just ban illegal speech(inciting violence, etc.) and allow all other speech. And obviously let people block/mute/whatever whoever they want.
