Web Censorship and Political Bias

Twitter suspends Gateway Pundit … bans Hunter smoking crack and foot sex videos … Twitter and Facebook suspend anyone who reposts…

FB, Twitter, and Instacrap are about to lose their section 320 protections. And they deserve to lose it.

Yeah
But these companies are part of "the resistance."

Yeah okay

The Same Pathetic Fake News Media That Ran Evidence-Free “Trump-Russia Collusion” Hoax for Years Won’t Cover Biden Crime Family Corruption Story With Abundance of Evidence, Including a Credible Witness

Of course they won't cover it. The reason is simple: Joe Biden has a "D" beside his name, and not an "R".

Big Tech giants summoned to Senate after 'Social Dilemma' backlash

 

[volinbham]

Watching a bit of the Social Media hearings - pretty crazy how Jack Dorsey (Twitter) decides what speech has potential to "cause harm offline". The examples cited so far are nuts.

Like him or not, Cruz is tearing a new azzhole into the twitter’s Dorsey. About time

He wrecked him. This Brian Shaltz guy is a clown though. Glad we get to hear his gaslighting.

Democrats keep accusing Republicans for being partisan while solely being partisan and not asking relevant questions. It's pathetic.

The Twitter response to the NY Post story: We were wrong - it can be posted or shared now.
Cruz: Is the NYPost account still blocked?
Twitter: Yes but if they log in, delete the original post and repost it all is fine.

WTH? Why make them delete the original post then repost the same thing if the post is now okay? What Byzantine hell is this?

It's not even a question that big tech is censoring information that is harmful to the Democratic Party. It isn't even up for debate that they are doing this and more. The audacity of tech companies censoring tweets from the President of the United States is something to behold. And yet they have the same audacity to stand there and lie through their teeth that they aren't doing it.

What's worse, is that we are so divided in our government that the Reps and the Dems can't even agree on this. In fact, the dems want them to continue censoring information while at the same time denying that it is happening. I wonder how they would feel if big tech had censored Obama's tweets or if they were censoring liberal commentators and viewpoints. It is shameful how divided that we are. Censorship like this is very dangerous for the future of America. Their liability protections should absolutely be lifted.

I wish we could just vote all of these losers out and start over with people who actually care about America and not just about votes.

They just wanted it on record that they said it is OK.

So what if they are?

 

[Velo Vol]

It's really something.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Anyone denying that this is happening is willfully ignorant:

"Now up is Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn. Says Twitter has "censored" Biden zero times and Trump 65 times." If you're okay with this, you're a problem. That is a major red flag for the future of this country. This is nothing short of election interference and you wouldn't be fine with it if it were your candidate on the opposite end.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So what if they are?

election interference is illegal. This is a dangerous precedent. And again, if you're fine with this, I bet you wouldn't be if it were the other side being censored.

The problem we have in politics is that short term policies overrule long term effects. This is working for the democrats now but some aren't thinking about the issue of setting the precedents. What if the people get fed up with Twitter and go to parler and a conservative led big tech company is bigger than we've ever seen. Their new arguments on censorship and section 230 are then rendered irrelevant based on precendent. These issues on rights should be viewed through the scope of "what if the tables were turned" as well as the present. That isn't the case because we elect idiots.

 

[RikidyBones]

So what if they are?

As a private company that is fine but they are then a publisher. That's all. They aren't shut down or split up but they don't get the benefits of a platform.
