    You must love that Sleepy Brandon gave SA a pass.... Do you suppose Brandon was taking notes while he was there?

    There is no such thing as hate speech in US law.

    Why not just have government create public version of Twitter? That way it's free of foriegn influence and our government can propogate their propoganda unempeeded?

    Naturally, you could back up this allegation (implying the argument you are making), with examples of these ANTIFA tweets, advocating violence?

    You are right, that I was not aware of the thing you maintain, in your post. You were wrong, however, if you'd assumed that your mere saying this, would be all the proof required, for such an unlikely seeming contention. (The tweet you posted, proved nothing). Where did you get your information?


    If the best you can do, is to describe tweets that you have, personally, seen-- without offering any reliable third-party verification of this-- then please, spare no detail (in conformance with PF standards, of course).

    Great...
    And, Andy Ngo has probably already hired some False Flag Actors (straight out of Central Casting) to start a 45-Second Fire and Start a "Riot" just so he can post some idiotic video on Twitter claiming that Antifa is burning down the entire Pacific Coast from Seattle to San Diego...
    Andy Ngo = Pathetic Social-Media-Whoring Moron...
    Andy Ngo = False Flag King!
    Andy Ngo? :roflol::bored:

    The Kingdom, with a #2 financial interest in a PRIVATE social media corp with large information worldwide reach? What could possibly go wrong? Word is that China also has a financial interest in it as well....WTF.

    This is someone's grand allegation, of years of behavior, throughout an organization, hung on only one individual's, current tweet. That falls far short, of the threshold of "proof." By that standard, any Right wing nut, going on a shooting spree, after posting a manifesto about Race War, or Jew Replacement, could be claimed to epitomize the entire Right wing, pro-Second Amendment crowd. Would you see that as fair?

    Funny how you make claims about things you can't prove and ignore the other link I provided.

    Others, who are tuned in to Twitter?

    Or others, to whom it is also "known," that Biden stole the election from Trump, and that the Hunter Biden case, holds the evidence to throw Joe Biden in prison?

    I'd initially missed that one. However, as much of that NY Post article as I could tolerate, was only proof that it is an impossible job, to have Twitter, at all times, scrubbed of any type of objectionable content. The Post cites the example of a person who goes by the name #Kill Trump, for example. Not to condone this-- nevertheless, I cannot see anyone being motivated to violence, from merely reading that. I would imagine this kind of brainwashing would take, at a minimum, numerous paragraphs.


    Also, the Post's bias-- to the extreme, of meriting the description "propaganda"-- is hard to miss. Here is a tiny <Snip>:

    And while Trump’s alleged calls for violence, in fact he explicitly called for peaceful protest, got him banned, the Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted this in November, “. . . Palestine will be free, while the fake Zionist regime will perish. There’s no doubt about this.” So encouraging a completely legal challenge to election results gets our President banned, but the leader of Iran’s brutal state threatening to wipe out Israel is no problem at all.
    <End>

    When one hits the link, supplied with the words "peaceful protest," it brings one to Trump's message to the January Sixth protestors, to (finally) disperse, reiterating that the election had been stolen, but telling them that for now, they should go in peace, and that Trump loves them--
    depicting this as Trump's "encouraging a completely legal challenge to election results," is no example of journalistic integrity.


    While I feel that Khamenei's tweet should have been deleted (or that last part edited out-- but I'm guessing that Twitter doesn't do that [either]), I could at least see a potential defense of it, in that the words read only that the "Zionist regime"-- which is a government, not a people-- "will perish." Again, the prima facie reading of the tweet, is not what The NY Post clearly suggests (more strongly than does the Ayatollah): "to wipe out <the people of> Israel."

    Where was Yellin's big concern when Biden tried to get just enough oil out of Saudi Arabia to influence and win the midterm election for his party members?

    If only there was a device you could use to educate yourself on the topic.

    So, I would assume, then, those "others" who were aware of this, were Twitter users. Since I am not one, I am at a loss as to understand the point of your comment, "Others have known for quite sometime," in response to my reply to you:
    DEFinning said: ↑
    That is shocking, to hear! I also find it rather surprising, that I've never heard mention of this, in the news (though I'll note thatTwitter, itself-- until recently, anyway-- has not generally been covered, at all).


    Could you connect the dots, for me?

    Everyone is able to monitor Twitter, Yellen included. What Twitter allows to be posted or disallows is none of the government's business.

    Well, Saudi has the same interest they had before Elon bought twitter. Revealing none of the lefties were concerned with the same saudi ownership before Elon. He had $1.9 billion in twitter before Elon and has $1.9 billion in after. He probably now has LESS influence over Twitter than he did when he owned $1.9 billion in voting stock.
