Honest question: is twitter a publisher or a medium. It makes a huge difference.
If twitter is a publisher, then they may have the right to reject some tweets. But, that also means they are responsible for *everything* that is tweeted.
If twitter is a medium, then they do not have the right to delete tweets that have the wrong political opinion.
It seems to me that twitter - and facebook and google - want to have it both ways.
> Guess you missed the part where they say it's likely just a conspiracy theory.
Guess you missed the part where the companies involved in the conspiracy were successfully sued. The courts found it was more than a conspiracy "theory"
Motorized folding bicycles, and skateboards, and what have you, could conceivably help public transportation because they help solve the last two miles problem.
The transports are getting better, and cheaper, all the time. Fun to watch them on youtube.
The US used to have the best mass transit in the world.
Then cam the streetcar conspiracy:
>> Between 1938 and 1950, National City Lines and its subsidiaries, American City Lines and Pacific City Lines—with investment from GM, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California through a subsidiary, Federal Engineering, Phillips Petroleum, and Mack Trucks—gained control of additional transit systems in about 25 cities.
The companies were sued for their conspiracy, but mass transit never recovered.
In the Kavanaugh supreme court confirmation hearings, leftist thugs would not come to order. Shouting out of turn, ignoring the chairman, not letting others have their say.
In Berkeley, violent antifa mob constantly rioting, smashing windows, attacking innocent people, have caused Berkeley to censor conservative speakers.
Facebook, twitter, and youtube, have all censored even moderate conservatives. Shadow banning, demonetizing, etc.
But he had a point when he treated that. Dotcom was spied on, raided, had all of his property confiscated. Dotcom had millions of dollars taken from him.
All because he was distributing copyright material.
Why do google/youtube execs enjoy a different standard?

I can hardly wait.
Gotta love the slashvertisement!
I cannot find anything really wrong with it. It's like using real Debian, instead of systemd crap. Great package management.
Not sure why Devuan is not more popular.
Systemd is just as bad as Microsoft. It's sad.
Same bloat?
Asking for a friend.
I'm already ahead of the curve.
You do this in a classroom - where it's safe - to learn to deal with fears. That way, when you are prepared when you have to function in real life.
I thought that was the whole idea?

Probably not. But I find it interesting.

The "loadstar" usage was just a red herring.
Michael Wolff is trying to give credibility to his new book "Fire and Fury"
> The first amendment applies to the government, not to private entities
Are you sure about that? I can cite several examples were government has regulated private industry.
One example is the tweet you responded to. The government - not twitter - decided that Trump could not block trolls.
This video cites several examples of government over-ruling such rights of private industry:

Leftists are an absolute disgrace.
If Trump got kicked off twitter, he would move to gab.ai, and millions, maybe tens of millions, of people would follow him there.
Twitter would not have stopped Trump. Twitter would have just shot themselves in the foot.
Twitter has kicked off a lot of moderate conservatives, while allowing racist hate, and threats, and offers to murder, from leftists.
I am not a great fan of Kim Dotcom.
But he had a point when he treated that. Dotcom was spied on, raided, had all of his property confiscated. Dotcom had millions of dollars taken from him.

Why should the media be above criticism?
CNN does lie. They lie all the time. They have been caught red-handed.
I am using it right now. Works great.
I used to love Gnome, Ubuntu, and CentOS, now they all suck.
I have been taking a look at Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. I am not seeing where it would disallow Infowars content.
Alex Jones may be personally responsible for his false statements. But I cannot see where the carrier is required to censor such content.
I wish the Senator was more specific.
Twitter seems to think so.
How about Sarah Jeong's brazen racist hate speech? Not only is that is okay with social media, it got her a job at the NY Times.
Alex Jones is not the only conservative censored from social media. Far from it. Numerous more moderate conservatives have also been censored.
I think it's fair to say there is a brazen double standard here.
DNC servers have never been inspected any US intelligence agency.
We are just supposed to take their words for it, because they are so honest.
And this comes from CNN - the most laughable fake name in news.
Usually when they talk about executive "pay" they mean total compensation. Much of that compensation comes from stock options.
Since the market is way up, so is total executive earnings.
Maybe they should give some stock options to the rank and file?
