I'm leaning towards agreeing with QO on this. I'm very rarely on FB so I cannot talk or reference much about it. Never been on TikTok (lol). But I'm on Twitter daily and see the political shenanigans that have played out.
I just saw somebody there link to the fact that Trump has been censored by Twitter 65 times. Just read Likethat's post about Khomenei. How many times has he been censored? Has Twitter ever censored the Steel Dossier stuff? Have they censored Biden's stuff?
The NYP was not only censored, but banned. Still banned because they refuse to delete the tweet or alter how it was presented. Think about that. Jack Dorsey actually lied about this to the committee today by saying that the NYP wasn't censored.
There is an argument that all of that is some sort of interference. To what degree is going to be opinion, but it's pretty undeniable at this point. What's worse, Jack Dorsey is now asking the public on what Twitter can do better because they recognize the unrest and dissatisfaction. He wouldn't be asking that if he thought Twitter was truly impartial.
Here Jack is playing word magic in a thread, pretending that he *now* wants to take a "good faith" approach and is asking people what that is and how it can be achieved.
Thank you members of the Commerce Committee for the opportunity to speak with the American people about Twitter and §230. My remarks will be brief to get to questions. §230 is the most important law protecting internet speech. Removing §230 will remove speech from the internet.

Specifically this tweet
That concept of “good faith” is what’s being challenged by many of you today. Some of you don’t trust we’re acting in good faith. That’s the problem I want to focus on solving. How do services like Twitter earn your trust? How do we ensure more choice in the market if we don’t?

posted by ptown_trojans_1I still think it is funny during both debates and his various interviews over the last few weeks this board was silent on it, and then that clip was shown and bam, it came back.
Don't think it's too funny. I said what I said once already. I'm not going to keep holding everyone's hand through it. If you're skin melts off because of it, or you pretend it is, that's on you. Miss me with the repetitive stuff.
Also, don't get too cocky when I've asked you the same question twice over a handful of days. You're on no high horse. Chief.
I'm *not* trying to be stupid here, but - how exactly is this a smoking gun?
It's 5:30am and maybe my brain isn't working on all cylinders yet, but I'm not seeing anything definitive.
BREAKING: New audio of Hunter Biden talking about his partner “the f**king spy chief of China”

All cops are bastards and should be willing to be pincushions for the nutbags. DUH!
posted by justincredibleWhat could possibly go wrong...
I really think that they should be checking the water in Seattle. It's the only reason that I can think of that would make so many people want to live in a shithole and call it progress.
So, I'm wondering about those states that allow early voters to change their votes. How exactly, can that happen? And how long of a process will it be to change?
It really makes me glad that I'm waiting until the day of. What if some expose of both Trump and Biden comes out before then that makes more people want to write in somebody or vote third party? What a hassle that would be!
posted by gutBoth campaigns having events in Nebraska and Maine....so the election COULD really be that close.
The politards threatening civil unrest really deserve a 269-269 deadlock!
I'll be disappointed with any conclusion that doesn't involve those two idiot codgers having a duel, 1700s style, to solve the "who won?" issue!

Interesting viewpoint!
If the polls aren't tightening since the debate—and with 62 million people having voted—we're sort of getting to the point where the only way Trump can win is with a major polling error, bigger than in 2016 (or if the election is stolen somehow).

posted by friendfromlowryIf Biden wins I wonder if we’ll continue to get updates about things being built and jobs created across the country. Or if those were only unique to Trump.
hmm... I'm going to guess that they will, but nobody will notice amidst all the federally mandated mask wearing and other restrictions.
Oh hey Ptown, since you're around again, perhaps you missed a prior question that I had asked specifically for you?
It was along the lines of, why do you think that the media/democrat approach was different between the Steel Dossier and the Hunter Biden laptop?
Long post incoming. Several things I want to say that's all over the place, but I'll try to keep them categorized.
1.) "muh Trump's racism!" Citations please. What was actually said or done as far as policy that was racist.
***Off the top of my head, it IS arguable that the misnomered "muslim ban" is racist.***
Other than that, I'm not sure what he said or EO'd into policy that was racist.
If you're going to try to critical theorize the false definition of racism, shut the fuck up in advance.
One more time for those in the back - If you're going to use the critical theory version of the definition of racism, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
2.) What Joe Biden has said and done (policy) is exponentially more racist than whatever Trump has said or done (policy). Citations are all throughout this thread, all over youtube, twitter, facebook, MSNBC/CBS/NBC/CNN/FOX/Slate/Vox/Buzzfeed/Breitbart/etc.
If you're going to accuse Trump of racism and using that as an excuse to vote for Biden shut the fuck up. One more time for those in the back, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
3.) Same as number two, only replace racism with misogyny.
4.) Same as number two and three, only replace racism and misogyny with assault (pick any type of assault).
5.) It feels good to be the asshole, sometimes. Raise your hand if you claim to have never been an asshole on this site and then shut the fuck up.
6.) Be honest and just admit that whoever you vote for (if you haven't already) is basically going to be you holding your nose and pulling the lever for whoever you feel is the most likeable of two evils, the same way it's been for 30+ years. Unless you write in somebody not from the twin powers of republican/democrat. We've reached the point where whatever type of "charisma" is more tolerable to you edges out not only policy but reality.
7.) Proof of number 6 is that for those who will not vote 3rd party, you're choices are Trump and JoMala.
8.) Thanks for reading the most unfriendly Ted Talk!
9.) For your viewing pleasure, I present to you Jimmy Dore:
At the end of today, I'm still wondering if JoMala will beat Bush in this senate race!
posted by jmogLargely true. Having one of the worst human beings on the planet as an opponent didn't hurt.The left calling people racist, homophobic, etc to anyone that doesn’t think just like them is EXACTLY why this asshole got elected and they don’t see that they are doing it again.
