So, to be clear, when a bunch of gay-hating bakers refuse to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, we have to listen to years of support for them because "the 1st Amendment" and "corporations can do whatever they want?!"

But when a corporation bans some stupid and probably bigoted right-wing message, suddenly the far-right hates corporate freedom!

Hypocrites. The 1st Amendment does NOT guarantee you an audience, it does NOT shield you from consequences of your actions (other than being put in prison for saying stupid and bigoted things), and it does NOT mean anyone, anywhere, has to support, promote, or even allow what you're saying on their media platform. If you don't like it, start your own right-wing media platform; there's already no shortage of fact-free, right-wing drivel sources out there, so it shouldn't be too hard to find an audience for that crud.

We have tried.
They will not allow your APP to be availavle thru the App stores.
There was a twitter competitor gaining steam and all the APP stores, pulled the APP.
They all said, because they didn't censor hate speech.

GAB. GAB was growing a good base and bam... Removed.

Trump would be Censored if he were not the President of the United States.
Project Veritas has already exposed that fact, with their undercover journalism.

But not everyone is Donald Trump, the President.

Even they can't ban the President of the United States.

I'm more concerned with 2020 and the sources that are spreading propaganda and fake news is our very own mass media that is in the pockets of the Dems. They have been trashing Trump since the day he announced he was running and they have not let up since and won't until he is destroyed.

We don't need Russia to influence our elections when we have the machine that is the mass media, Hollywood and the Dems that pull the strings of their own agenda.

There is no doubt that as we get closer to 2020 that the mass media will pile on Trump even more and ignore anything positive that comes out of his term.
They want to demonize him while casting his supporters as stupid idiots.

What they are doing is so wrong.
A “few ads”?

They have one. Fox News. If you read the comments section in their news stories, you will see there is, to be kind about it, a Conservative bias.

Of course they can ban the President. They are a private company.

^^^ Yep. They control it all, the WH, Senate, House, and they still complain that everyone is against them. You would think they would be living in glory days right now, instead of finding fault with everyone and everything.


Very odd.
