If Twitter banned him, he would go to Gab

I wish he would..

Twitter is a business; they might do some dumb shit but I hope they aren't dumb enough to cut their own throats.

Maybe they are though, you never can tell nowadays.

Yanno, if Obama had signed an executive order like this, you conservatives would be screaming bloody murder.

Obama WOULD sing an EO like this. Hes from the left

Bullshit. Obama never signed something like this, nor did he ever bring it up, so no, you don't know if he would.

And for all you idiots who think that Twitter is censoring Trump, it helps to know what the word "censor" means.

SEE SYNONYMS FOR censor ON THESAURUS.COM
noun
1. an official who examines books, plays, news reports, motion pictures, radio and television programs, letters, cablegrams, etc., for the purpose of suppressing parts deemed objectionable on moral, political, military, or other grounds.
2. any person who supervises the manners or morality of others.
an adverse critic; faultfinder.
3. (in the ancient Roman republic) either of two officials who kept the register or census of the citizens, awarded public contracts, and supervised manners and morals.

verb (used with object)
4. to examine and act upon as a censor.
5. to delete (a word or passage of text) in one's capacity as a censor.


As you can clearly see from the definition, in order for someone to be censored, it requires their speech to be edited, deleted, or modified in some way. Twitter has not modified Trump's tweets in any way, all they did was place a tag on it calling it questionable information. Sorry, but no, Trump is not being censored.

The problem YOU have is that what Twitter did was unacceptable as a Social Platform set up, which they were supposed to be fully neutral in, the flagging is what a publisher would do, which Twitter is not.

Amazed leftists can't distinguish the difference between Social Platform and Publishing.

They have every right to place context. It is their platform and Trump brazenly uses it to lie.

Try again. Zero chance of Obamaa signing an executive order like this.

Do Trumpers know that this opens up their cult leader and many others to multiple lawsuits??

There is a reason the FCC/FTC pushed back on this the first time Trump tried this bullshit...and yes....he has tried it already....

They have every right to place context. It is their platform and Trump brazenly uses it to lie.

Twitter agreed to run their platform in a certain way in exchange for protection from lawsuits and other
problems a regular business would face. Can't have things both way, despite what stupid people think.

Your opinion of Trump's comments are immaterial and typically and reflexively negative.

this isnt about censorship its about the special protections they get for being a platform instead of a publisher,,,

once they started altering/editing peoples comments they became a publisher and lose all those protections,,,

They didn't alter anything. They lose no protections. Only Congress can do that.

thats O for 3,,,
