A Twitter spokeswoman has defended the company’s decision to block and restrict tweets from President Trump but not those of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei which call for genocide of the Israeli people. The reason? Because the Iranian dictator’s tweets pass as “commentary on political issues of the day” while Trump’s could “inspire harm,” Twitter claims.

Twitter is a classic example of what happens when immature minds make adult decisions. Everyone can see their bias, and that in turn threatens their credibility. I think the legal protection that the law provides them should be stricken. They can choose to be either a 'platform' (no censoring of content), or choose to be a 'publisher' (censor input at their discretion, but be legally liable when they make mistakes,)

These people are nothing less than EVIL. Do they really think that, given the chance, Khamenei wouldn’t behead every one of them?

Yep that good ole standby, the Double Standard, Free speech for ME but NOT for Thee!
I propose a New Universal Internet Rule. IF you have a public site, it must provide a full venue for all opinions and ideas, PERIOD, No Censorship Permitted for ANY REASON...let the chips fall where they will.
Any site/company found guilty of ANY Censorship will have their site totally turned off from Internet Access for 1 Month, second offense, 6 months, third offense, Off Forever! Censorship does NOT include differing opinions, PERIOD. Search Engines MAY NOT filter search results at all, and must produce totally Random results, No Key Word filtering, shadow banning or any form of repression of search information is permitted. We can modify the rules as needed, you get the idea!

This is precisely why I never use twitter. And don't use facebook. And don't use google. These platforms abet and give comfort to the enemy. The word that describes this behavior starts with a "T".

Why does President Trump have to use twitter? Can't he use Michelle Malkin's Twitchy or another blog site.

I get sick of arguing with stupid leftists who GANG up on me when I fight back against lies. I still have the truth on my side, but after a while, I have to give up because there are anywhere from 3 to 10 of them at once throwing stuff at me. And they are almost all indoctrinated socialists. I can counter them but it is too exhausting after a while.

I was sorry that I turned on Glenn Beck's program too late today to hear Dr. Simone Gold's interview with Glenn. Dr. Gold is the founder of America's Front LIne Doctors whose cure for covid does not follow the party line and therefore was erased from Twitter. Glenn said that one of the most significant points he took away from his interview with her was that she fears our country will become one where no one is allowed any opposing opinions from that of the powers-that-be (not verbatim, but I understood his drift).
The whole idea of an America where you are allowed to have independent thought is racist or something.
It is not a very American concept, nor very free. I think it comes from the Hate America contingent.
