No loss really. We've got enough sources of misinformation already.

I don't have any social media accounts anymore. The only place I post is here, as it is the only place left where people from all sides can voice their opinions without being silenced because those opinions are not sanctioned by the government.

Just because it's their platform doesn't mean they're right.

No law was broken here by banning this lunatic, hot lunatic (for her age), but lunatic nonetheless.


They have grown so large that they are defacto public domains.

They can either start acting accordingly, or they will eventually be broken up and subject to the same regulation as an actual public domain.

Their choice.

I don't see may folks saying they're right, just that they have the right to police their own social media platform.

So when Fauci lied about wearing masks......

Was that "verified information"?

No use debating Fauci with you. Let's stick to topic here on Twitter banning MGT

But they are arguing they were discriminated against





A false accusation.


Had the gay couple ordered cupcakes off the shelf, the Baker would have sold them to them.

If they ordered a custom made birthday cake, the Baker would have made it for them.

The Baker didn't refuse to do business with them because they were gay.

He refused to make them a cake for a specific purpose........a gay wedding.

I take it that's a no.


If you're going to use "verified information" as your standard ......

At least be consistent with how you define it....

....and enforce it.
