President Trump Planning Major Action Against Tech Monopoly Censorship: IT'S HAPPENING

Looks to me like the president is upset that all of the fake sites which support him (including multiple Russian sites) are being shut down.

How will the RWNJ's find material to post on C D ? Too bad, so sad.

Too damn dangerous to be heard, by ignorant people that cannot think for themselves.

They have the blinders on so tight, they don't realize they just described Obama's 8 years.

What the hell? I'm not saying there couldn't have been one or two left leaning loonies doing this, but it being a trend from "the left"? Absolutely not! The only widespread protests at fallen military member funerals was from right wing nuts- that church group from Kansas (Westboro Baptist Church) who protested because their hatred for gay people made them angry at the military, for defending a country that does not discriminate against them.
I used to live back there, many people I worked with were bikers who would go out in groups called the patriot guard to block these nuts from protesting anywhere near those funerals- they would travel around the country to do this following that church group.

Absolutely disgusting.
Youtube doesn't seem to have a problem with people like Maxine Waters, Linda Sarsour, Cenk Uygur, Don Lemon and other Leftist nut cases.

Did you happen to see post #25?

Or is it only censorship if content that you approve of is deemed inappropriate?

What you and other Leftists don't wish to acknowledge is that platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have become the means by which ideas are shared and communicated ...much like a news paper. When the owners of these platforms censor certain ideas, it isn't any different than if a major newspaper did it. A "free press" should apply to all forms of communication. But, I realize that Leftists in general support censorship. They are afraid of other ideas.
Um, the government cannot require newspapers to carry certain content either.

A "free press" means the opposite of what you appear to think it does. It means that the press is free from government interference, not that that it is heavily regulated by the government such that it is obliged to carry whatever content the Joe Citizen wants it to print.

Congratulations on proving the converse of what you argued.

What does it matter?

The fact remains that their terms of service are no different than that of FB, Twitter, etc.

They are within their rights to decide what violates those terms and delete content as they see fit.
