I love how the President that essentially censored his entire administration from testifying about the Ukraine scandal is crying about censorship on twitter.
So you are demanding Biden and the Dems freely testify in open sessions regarding their role in the Ukraine scandal? Good for you!
The concern is about censorship, when you crowbar a discrepancy between demography and the representation of ideas.
My understanding is Trump's EO will be about "usership" wrapped in a non-existent censorship package. Remember, he's framing this as being unfair, which implies a comparison to others (usership), not concept of being ideas being compromised (censorship). As has been pointed out repeatedly in this thread, Trump has not been censored. Disclaimered, perhaps, but not censored. He has been able to represent his ideas unfettered. I don't ever recall he himself saying he's been censored, that's on his supporters.
He's been railing about this for years. There have been some pretty spicy dust-up's between him and the NYC tabloids, so this is nothing new. It's amusing that in those cases his complaint was that they could print what ever they wanted. But now his argument is of an opinion that he alone should have that uncontested right (which he already has). The logic (if you want to call it that) is quite convoluted.
No matter. Nobody is shutting down any websites over this.
Let Twitter become a publisher by editing and censoring. Then people can sue them and get rich and start their own platform which allows free speech.
This is nothing new they are no different than a newspaper that won't print your letter to the editor, good luck with the Trump lawsuit for censorship. He may have other means of getting out his message, I think it's what is known as a press conference. He likes Twitter because he doesn't have to defend his comments like rampant voter fraud or Joe Scarborough killing an intern, this is why he hates press conferences where reporters ask him very mean questions.

Does President Trump really lie when he believes the BS he puts out is nothing but the truth? What Trump believes is the truth but really isn't so is one reason why I'm not voting for him in Nov. Should the reason why he ever pushes the red button, will it be based on the truth or what he thinks is the truth but isn't?
Your guess is as good as mine!
Does his close advisers and family believe his drivel?
I think so.
So by that logic, anything negative about Trump here on City Data (such as your post) should be deleted or so-called-fact-checked and then you are free to post on City Data or not. Problem solved? I volunteer to be the official fact checker of anything you post and then you are free to post on City Data or not. Sound fair, unbiased and free of agenda?
We fact check each other constantly. Our posts are often deleted or parts deleted by the mods. I don't blow a gasket about it like trump does.
Twitter, Google, Facebook and others are virtual Monopolies, acting like Utilities and abusing their power.
Why are you here on this forum? According to your logic, this forum abuses their power. I assume you are done here as a result. Take care..
