And you're ok with this?

Me explaining why it's not a legal issue =/= me being ago with it. 

 

Just fact check the lies he posts since he is a public official and put fact checks disclaimers on it. 

 

He should only be banned if he breaks the rules over and over.

The thing is who gets to decide if the fact check is honest? And why does only one side seem to be fact checked when multiple times major stories about Doofus Trump turned out to be false yet social m

What I said wasn't overly complex and you did not need to argue it. There is nothing wrong with anything I said unless you truly do not believe in freedom of the press, free speech, and full transpare

It's clear you don't understand what freedom of the press or Freedom of speech is. 

 

It has nothing to do with being free to false stories. 

 

It's about a free press that wouldn't get jailed or killed for criticism of the government. 

 

Lmfao Cooke lmfao. 

So what was false about the Hunter Biden story? It was blocked and now its not.. so what happened?

You mean the guy who said he had emails about Biden bringing his Dad into a business deal?

 

And then everybody, including Fox News, making a follow up story saying that they READ THOSE EMAILS, and found no such evidence of that happening?

 

You're gonna have to be more clear about what "the Hunter Biden story" is.............because it appears you're just trying to conflate ALL of these Hunter Biden claims that have been thrown around lately, and trying to treat it as one "story."

What? have you been living under a rock? lol

 

The emails were reviewed by Fox and all the media outlets and they concluded that there was no incriminating evidence. 

 

The Senate republican intelligence committee investigates this for months and came to the conclusion that Joe Biden did nothing wrong. 

 

And just last night after claiming for weeks that they had hard evidence.... Tucker Carlson had to go in national TV and claim the evidence was lost 🤣

Are you fucking serious, right now?

 

YES.

 

Can Twitter arrest you and put you in their OWN JAIL CELL that they own?

 

Because if such a jail exists, and twitter operates it, then that's the only scenario in which we'd want 1st amendment protection to carry over.

 

Are you really this ignorant about BASIC CONCEPTS of America??????????????????????????

Here's an analogy, you can write and publish your own story about whatever you like. You can submit that story if you want to the NY Times or Washington Post. If they don't publish it, is that then in violation of freedom of speech and freedom of the press? :drake:

You read a different question I guess.

 

 

What about the story was false and why was it blocked and then allowed back on Twitter?

Twitter isn't a publisher with editors and writers.  They are a free social media platform. They have a TOS that they themselves do not follow.

No, they can deny people or content that they do not deem fit.

 

since its not a platform that YOU own, its a platform they THEY OWN and operate.

no, its a publicly TRADED stock.

 

its not publicly OWNED.

 

those who HAVE THE STOCK are PRIVATE PEOPLE/ENTITIES.

 

you seem to have trouble understanding what that means................or you just intentionally attempted to use misleading language, right now.

 

you have the right to BUY stock in that company...........assuming somebody is willing to sell.

 

So no.............its PRIVATE, you just tried to misconstrue how the stock can be traded.

What about the story was True? 

 

Where is the verified proof?  

 

Again did you miss when Fox themselves reviewed the info and determined it was nothing?

watch as he will purposely avoid clarifying or narrowing down which specific claim he is talking about.

 

he is just going to say "the hunter biden story" as a broad, vague term.........like as if its actually a thing.

 

when it isn't.

 

what it boils down to is: "look at these photos of hunter biden..........and imagine he's doing something illegal."

They either have to fact check every single claim people make or don't do it at all. When they do it half assed their political biases reveal themselves.  

 

I think everything should be fair game as long as it's not inciting violence, war, or hate. Let the people decide and do their own due diligence.  There's nothing stopping other media outlets from countering claims, but to block it outright shouldn't be allowed. Especially private DM's, that's actual censorship. 

Cuuke defending Trump. He truly reached his final form.
