Donald Trump Threatens Regulation or Shutdown of Social Media Companies
President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned social media companies to stop silencing conservatives on their platforms or face a stiff penalty.

“Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices,” he wrote. “We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen.”

Stop threats and regulate them.

Re: Donald Trump Threatens Regulation or Shutdown of Social Media Companies
I’m waiting for the day I see those companies taken to task for their biases. Unfortunately, however, they ARE private entities and have the ability and right to censor who never they wish. They also hide behind this platform/publisher bullshit argument.

That being said, however, said “rights” should be questioned and examined further when it is found that their censorship impacts such things as elections, actions and local issues with government. That’s when it becomes dangerous and not having all sides of an argument shown simply because they think one way and one way only with wanton disregard for everyone’s voices being heard can endanger the lives and welfare of millions.

Blah blah blah tweet whining, again.

Been going on for years to millions of average conservatives, and now it's only a issue because the commies scolded his elitist tweet whining.

whatever

STFU and do something constructive and helpful with all the bloated bureaucracy's of power.

Listen carefully -

ALL the big 5 tech companies have AI currently in place and will shortly be implementing it to extinguish these 'social' media feuds.

The AI principles are - HUMAN, SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL 'Wellness'

These are liberal concepts without the need of anyone voting for it. It won't matter if you're the President or if your facts or viewpoints are true. These concepts are being programmed into AI including green initiatives, racial, inclusive and 'facts' based on pre-programmed MSM content (scraping) algorithms. It will monitor ALL comments, posts and content and interpret it according to the AI principles above.

Your views, opinions and religious beliefs will no longer be shared across platforms unless it abides to the above AI principles. This includes YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and search engines.

Eric Schmidt (Google) has already stated it's big techs responsibility to sort it out and not society and accept 'moral responsibility".

You have been warned of things to come shorty.

Re: Donald Trump Threatens Regulation or Shutdown of Social Media Companies
What's gonna be real interesting is when the developing cold war with communist China goes hot - and make no mistake, it will...

Will these social media platforms, which are clearly pro-CHICOM and anti Free World, i.e. heavily left-biased, be considered to be giving aid an comfort to the enemy in time of war? Yes they will.

It'll be the first time a global war has been fought partially in cyberspace, so there will be a lot of anti-America folks out there are exploiting the First Amendment who will suddenly find themselves classified as "enemy combatants" and subject to arrest and a military tribunal will decide their ultimate fate.

Ride with outlaws and you'll hang with 'em...

Trump is smart though. He won't go after the company itself. He'll go after the people in the company itself in unique and direct ways.

Congress would need to act. Trump could do it by EO, but it would be unconstitutional. Barry got away with doing illegal EO's like DACA.
If you are waiting for anything in D.C. to happen quickly you are delusional.
The best and fastest way to take down these scoundrels is to stop using them.
No customers, no business.
Instead of waiting for Trump why don't you start a movement?
