Yeah, if Brian was banned just because he's a vocal MAGA/Q fella, that's one thing. But I have a feeling he crossed a line.

Don't people get banned on Twitter frequently? The same way people get banned on AW?

 

I got suspended once for using the ‘R’ word. It doesn’t take much

Do you think BLM rioters used social media to organize and plan? Did these companies evaluate themselves after that? I think this is what pisses people off is they pick and choose based on their own political ideologies 

I am in favor of Free Speech.

For everyone.

Having some guy that works for a tech company deciding what everyone should be able to read is wrong.

Ehh, sort of. But public figures have platforms to speak beyond Twitter. You act like Trump has to go live in a cave for the rest of his life because he can't tweet.

It isn’t just Trump though is it?

I'm old enough to remember Trump trying to ban the entire platform TikTok because a punch of kids reserved seats to his rally.

Or maybe because tik tok is being used the Chinese government to spy on the US and it’s citizens

There is a big difference between aw and Twitter/Facebook et al.  The main one being they have become the biggest source of news and information.

Sure, but he literally described Angelswin. Doesn't Chuck work for a tech company?

But "Free speech for everyone" is kind of a blanket statement.

Agreed, but the problem arises when entities with political opinions use those opinions  when they regulate their sites

Limbaugh is the only other one I've seen. Don Jr. and friends still have their accounts.

As stick pointed out, Limbaugh deleted his. It wasn’t suspended.

Limbaugh shut down his account. He wasn't banned.

Good to know. A dude I know posted on Instagram that he too deleted his Twitter and will be joining Parler. I'm guessing this is the case for a lot of MAGAs.

Correct. If Twitter goes all Animal Farm to stamp out even moderate conservative voices, I'll agree that this Trump thing was a dangerous precedent.

The ones on both sides who knowingly spread misinformation should be demoted to email newsletters.

If you post proven lies or obviously incendiary info then the bans should be automatic and permanent. And to expect a for profit company to willfully broadcast your plans to overthrow the government is just fucking stupid
