President Trump Says It is 'Very Dangerous' When Companies Like Twitter Regulate Own Content (reuters.com)

In an interview with Reuters on Monday, the U.S. President Donald Trump said that it is "very dangerous" for social media companies like Twitter and Facebook to regulate the content on their own platforms. Trump's remarks come on the backdrop of technology giants Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, and YouTube ridding select kind of content of their platforms in the recent weeks. On Saturday, Trump argued that social media companies are "closing down the opinions" of conservatives. He tweeted, "They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won't let that happen."

    Actually; Hillary blew any chance of a democrat being in the white house this term. Here is how... The DNC was broke, Hillary bailed them out with her foundation. That in itself was not so bad, if you believe we have a two party system. But......... Hillary put herself in charge and made al the new rules. Anybody here remember Super delegates?? Hillary justified upseting a number of primaries in order to put Sanders out of the running. I and many of the rest of us in the Rational Middle would have voted for Sanders. Hillary also did not have an agenda, all she did was attack Trump. Trump on the other hand HAD an AGENDA "Make America Great Again" Then Hillary called Trump's supporters Deplorables, They OWNED IT Hillary LOST because of her stupidity. The only people who voted for her were airheads who thought having a vagina was a requirement for the white house. The reason Hillary lost should be obvious to anybody with five or six brain cells or more.... She insulted a huge fraction of the American Population, including a third of the Black population. The right mobilized and except for the large coastal cities and a few large blue cities in the Midwest; the rest voted for the populist candidate with an agenda to fix the economy. Wikileaks and Seth Rich Should be given the congressional Medal of Freedom for their work in getting the Pedista emails in the light of day. Disgusting things in those emalis. The Economy woke up and got in gear the day after the election My Birthday. Nice birth present to wake up to someone who was ligiti8mately voted in by the American people Hillary couldn't have done a better job of sinking her own campaign. Funny as Hell... The Angry Cat

    Man?? You have a name? I am female, I think you should stop assuming things. I was born with a vagina, were you born with man parts?? I don't think so since you are harassing a woman.
