If they only ask for an email address, you could open hundreds of accounts.
Sounds to me they mean what they say on their home page - they want real people, not bots, not fake accuonts.
So people are supposed to stay on FaceBook and Twitter, to have their opinions and even hard news censored??? Facebook and Twitter are turning into left-wing thought police sites, where only their warped version of reality is allowed to be voiced.
I've only ever heard of Parlor here. Don't plan on joining.
But CNN can take a hike.
Coming off like they are surprised and aghast.
This One sided argument is what turns me off . Like the Left can do no wrong. It's always on the other side to 'get better'.
I'd expect that from a normal poster,..but a "news Network" ??
Exactly. I learned decades ago that with the left, it is their way of the highway. There are no "mavericks" on the left the way they always used to say John McCain was a "maverick" of the republican party.
Guess why.
Does Twitter ban all opposing viewpoints or do they ban unsubstantiated/false news from account holders that have a huge platform contained within the Twitter platform? There's a difference.
Someone upthread already mentioned that The Lincoln Project was blocked for running something unverified/incorrect. That's not an opposing view--that's false information.
Someone also upthread just mentioned that people would not have voted for Joe Biden if they knew all about Hunter Biden. Again, I'm not sure that I personally want to see an unsubstantiated claim about a person being broadcast on the news. When it's proven and verified that it's not a "deep fake", then sure, let it fly. But people only really latch onto the first thing broadcast, true or not, and I do think the media outlets and the purveyors of information need to be careful not to let their platforms be overtaken but unsubstantiated claims and conspiracies. I'm not saying that this information shouldn't be verified--it most certainly should--but it's really wrong to put some of these things out there until we know the truth. The damage is done when it's found later to not be true. No one cares about the correction.
Who decides what is "correct"? Any censorship is bad unless they are encouraging violence. People are smart enough to filter through what they want. Of course, we know liberals don't trust the public and think they need to be told what to think.
Toughen up right wingers. No one cares what social media you use.
True, the snowflakes on the left have been playing the victim card for years. They are now the victims because real Americans want their rights to freedom of speech & expression, something the liberals cannot tolerate if it goes against their far-left agenda.
As for not caring what social media people use, obviously you do and it infuriates you because you can't control it. If you didn't care you wouldn't make such a stink about it.
Facebook and Twitter are an echo chamber for the left, and are censoring the right. What is happening with conservative platforms was the next natural step. The left being opposed to it is just another form of their censorship and totalitarian view.

it is false. I have FB friends on both sides, and while the majority are 'normies',...I get some really toxic nasty memes from both ends showing up.
Really mean and childish. It's embarrassing.
