Today's news includes a former US Congressman from my area - a staunch supporter of President Trump.

His twitter account was suspended.

Funny thing is - he has not posted anything lately.
Only explanation is Guilt by Association.

Show Me Your Papers!!!!

This nonsense is getting out of hand.

I never did Twitter, Never Will.
Jack Dorsey is a weasel.

Today in the news: the public learns a much needed lesson in relying on centralized technologies.

This trend, somewhat paradoxically, needs to accelerate so that the folly in allowing the consolidation of so much power can only be made plain for all to see.

If the censoring, banning and de-platforming continues, it will hopefully anger enough of the right people and spur them into action. The govt should not be looked to for a solution.

I didn't know Twitter was the US government.

Does that mean Jack Dorsey is really the POTUS?

No twitter isnt the govt but the fact they can silence a sitting president says something about the power they wield.
