I think Twitter is correct in that we should all be able to see the emperor without his clothes. It's really just a shame that some people aren't smart enough to figure out his lies.

Twitter doesn't have the bandwidth to police everyone with the fact check warning, but they can do it when their attention is called to the the tweets by others and then decide if it needs a fact check.

The situation with Trump and Twitter is indeed ambiguous. The majority of us would like to see the social-media identify and restrict or remove false or hateful commentary. But we don't want Trump to be removed, because his bogus and absurd comments are furthering his own demise. He's hanging himself with his tweets and his opponents certainly don't want to get in the way of him doing that.

As a writer and photographer...all those sites steal my writing and photographs and post on the internet. From there others take the photographs and my writings and post without payment or even crediting me as the author. In a few cases, they said THEY were the author.

As Publishers ALL those sites will have to abide by copyright laws. Instead of dealing with thousands of people stealing my intellectual property, I only have to deal with Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and a few others.

So I am with Trump on this one. I will FINALLY get paid for my “intellectual” property!!

Try copying a Microsoft or Google software program without paying for it!!! Yet, the same companies steal my products without even thinking twice about it.

Go Trump....I want to get paid for my work!!!! Time to stop stealing other peoples property just because you are rich and powerful.

Is is possible there is one person who isn't aware of Trump's lies? At the end of 2019 Trump was documented with over 20,000 lies. Trump even lies about the lies he previously lied about.
How can you tell Trump is lying? His lips are moving.
What do you think about Biden wanting to go much further than Trump on sec 230?

What you asking is impossible. What you just posted here... is it unique or did you copy and paste it from some other site? If CD is liable for copyright infringement this site ceases to exist.


If you are concerned about Google or whatever don't publish on platforms you have no control over. Get your own domain and use robots.txt file which give you 100% control over what Google indexes.

No way should Twitter ban Trump. I get too much enjoyment out of him proving himself a clueless moron on it most every day.

But Trump supporters best know Trump for being anti-illegal immigrant and that is, by far, the no. 1 reason why they still quite strongly support Trump.

Thank you! I've voted absentee a few times. Yes, ballots are returned to the Official Election Office by USPS first class mail after being sent out by first class mail a week or 2 before the election.

But is Trump really deliberately lying? Maybe he actually believes all the BS he twitters and utters during new conferences is nothing but the truth. What an ignorant, gullible fool can believe as true can surely be downright worrisome and frightening.
