Sen. Rubio: Twitter Now a Publisher and Should No Longer By Shielded from Liability

True, but saying that vote by mail & ballot harvesting can cause voter fraud is an opinion with facts to back it up.

Biden said Trump was xenophobic after the Jan 31st travel ban. Then on April 3, he agreed it was a good idea.

They were both opinions, and that’s all
Twitter should be..... a place for opinions.

 

and who gets to decide who is the arborator of truth? Bias liberal fact checkers and the Trump hate media?

 

If Trump is tweeting, Twitter's ToS rules, not Trump.

 

I seriously doubt any Trump supporter would accept his tweets being deleted. In addition, I never remember Twitter being an approved communication service, since any time he does communicate from his executive position, that is a legal statement that must be recorded and preserved in accordance with the 1950 Records Act.

 

I would LOVE to see Trump kicked off Twitter and moved to Minds. That would be BILLIONS of views moved to a competitor of Twitter. I hope and pray that Twitter is dumb enough to do it. Get woke and go broke Twitter, I double dog dare you. BAN TRUMP.... act on your supposed morals.

It will of course never happen. In general, the elite only make moves that are in their own financial best interest. My God though, banning Trump from Twitter would be one of the best things to happen for conservatives in a while and it would most definitely be a resounding win for our side.

 

okay, I'll accept that. Is there a Dem equivalent of Trump on Twitter? One that has a history of lies?

 

I see 'facts' as, well, 'facts'. I don't believe in alternate facts.

 

Youre right, I could respond to a fact check. The moderators provide no appeal.

 

What happened to Rubio? Where is the man who was incensed by Trump's lies?

 

Whoever wrote, "... banning Trump from Twitter would be one of the best things to happen for conservatives in a while and it would most definitely be a resounding win for our side" must live in that strange trumpverse 24 7 365, out of touch with reality.

 

Sure is. Government school education at it's finest.

 

Democrats in this thread say it's not okay to say 1+1=3. Speech control advocates.

 

They realize that producing functioning idiots will keep them in power.

 

I'm not proposing "regulating free speech of private entities", I'm suggesting the danger of said private entities acting on behalf of the government or on some political trust or agency to "debunk" or "fact check" any such individual. That, we typically believed would be up to the voter/person in question.

Let's take taxation as an area that's atypically dubious. Conservatives believe a lower tax rate is more effective, whereas Liberals(say) they just want to tax the rich, but ultimately really want higher taxes across the board. Which approach is right? No one knows completely(as an economist, I have my own theories but I'll save it, this is not the point), the point is that it's dubious, selective and anyone can choose what they believe.

Politics, by its nature is 80% dubious, and so the idea of an authoritative truth doesn't exist in the political realm.

 

This doesn't make them a publisher.

 

Not necessarily.

 

I'd love to see this too.

But Trump would sue - and win - if he were kicked off.

 

"Facts": Often not facts

Desire to "fact check" one's supposed oppostion: Partisan game

 

Biden, Democrats falsely claim they called for lockdowns one week before Trump
Biden claims Trump has “no comprehensive plan” for the virus or the economy
Biden claims he wants “any records” of Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against him to be released, even though he’s blocking the release of his Senate records

 

Trump can be kicked off Tweeter and sue and will lose.

 

Developing: Big News! President Trump to Sign Executive Order on “Social Media” Thursday Morning

On Tuesday night Twitter censored The President Of The United State's opinion on mail-in voting.

Twitter has been silencing conservative voices and conservative publishers since President Trump won the election in 2016.

Democrats put together a plan to silence conservative voices.

Today conservatives are regularly blocked, banned and censored by the far left elites at Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube and others.

Last night Twitter censored President Trump’s tweet.

Twitter’s Head of Site Integrity is a hateful leftist who said the Trump team put nazis in the White House.

President Trump responded to the assault on Wednesday.

 

I would LOVE to see them do it.

Free speech lawsuit of the century with wide-ranging repercussions.

Trump would, of course, win.

 

There are few, if any, far left elites at Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, etc.

The left is censored/blocked/banned at least as much as the right - if not more so - and Pepsi conservatives (liberals) are the ones silencing dissenting views on the right AND left.

Twitter's Yoel Roth: Ridiculous Pepsi conservative, not remotely a leftist

And while Twitter is INCREDIBLY sleazy, Trump wasn't censored in any way, and he'd best not create an unconstitutional Executive Order, or the courts will destroy it and him.

 

Why are you posting a FAKE Narrative?

They DIDN'T "Censor" Anything.

They Didn't Remove ANY of Trump's Content.

And so, what (exactly) did they "censor"?

Adding a "fact-check" is NOT "censorship".

The entire (Twitter censored Trump) "narrative" is Total B/s.

 

So Sen Rubio is concerned over a free speech issue that isn't protected by the 1st Amendment, and his 'solution' is to step in and use the government to force speech regulation on a private company thus effectively making it a 1st Amendment issue. Brilliant.
