    Because it is Twitter's business, so we have no right to tell them how to run it.

    If you do not agree with how they do so, do not use it.

    This is not complicated.

    Do you have any theories on why this is such a hard concept for some people? I would bet the farm that not one person saying that nonsense would be okay with somebody else coming inside their home or business and disrespecting their rules. That's too preposterous to even consider as a remote possibility.

    When someone's entire world is views through the lenses of politics, this sort of view is expected.

    Yet neither you or Twitter can provide one of those tweets. You just do as your told.

    Which means what? If you're not a member that behavior is just fine with you?
    If someone makes a false claim against you on PF you're Johnny on the spot.
    But all of a sudden you're ok with social media giants making their own rules because it doesn't effect you?

    Yet I never run to the mods or the owner of PF or any other authority to fix the problem. I call them out and then move on

    you should give it a try.

    So what?

    PF has Rules and so does Twitter.

    Anybody who doesn't like Twitter's policies is free not use Twitter, or to invent their own.
    ^Problem solved.

    When you can comprehend the argument, you are free to try again. Twitters policies have nothing to do with them being allowed to make false accusations. Or are you saying that is part of their policies?

    I call them out personally and then it is over.

    I do not try and get Congress to change the rules because my feelings were hurt

    That is what we have people like you for

    Yeah, because people of PF always contact Congress when they get their feelings hurt. That is your argument?

    The part where Social media giants determining who has free speech and who doesn't goes right over your head? You have no clue as to why Congress is involved?
    Not surprising.

    Who cares?

    They can do whatever they want.

    Get back to me when they actually break any laws (and you can cite the exact statute which was violated).

    Until then?:bored:

    Excuse me? Are you denying that Twitter has endlessly flagged the tweets of Donald? How dishonest
    But here you are with some sources.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/05/technology/donald-trump-twitter.html
    Twitter Has Labeled 38% of Trump’s Tweets Since Tuesday

    Mr Trump tweeted, without providing evidence? Oh My God, Call out the National Guard.
    The world is coming to an end.

    The laws broken are the anti competitive practice - and Monopoly-Oligopoly law. While this is a free speech issue - it is 100% meddling in our electoral process in a negative way - as opposed to "Russiagate" which was medling in a positive way.

    So much for you claiming it was about 2 tweets, when twitter has it right that it's all part of the context of the pattern of behavior

    Totally and completely impossible.

    The Social media giants have no means of determining what I say. At best they can keep me from saying it on their sites. None of them are stopping me from posting on here. None of them stopped a guy from another forum from making his own forum where White supremacy and conspiracy theories are not only allowed but are required to avoid being attacked by the members.

    I can go outside in my front yard or down on the corner of main street and the Social media giants have no power over what I say.

    Prove me wrong then.

    Tell me how the Social media giants stop me from going down to main street and saying what I want.

    Tell me how the Social media giants stop me from saying what I want at my American legion site.

    Give me just one example of how the Social media giants stop me from saying whatever I want.

    Hmmm...doubt we're close. I guess the vast majority favor a constitutional democratic republic.
