HUGE! Trump White House Implements Executive Order on Online Censorship: Prevents Tech Giants from Altering Users’ Free Speech

[Uncensored2008]

For example .... guessing at someone's password until you get in -- that's hacking. Sending someone phishing email that looks legit but really baits them into entering their password -- that's hacking.

That's what Russians did.

Really?

And you have evidence that such a thing happened? Dmitri Alperovitch tell you that, shit fer brains?

Over in your homeland of Iran, you heavily censor the internet, so Fascistbook is right down your ally...

You know, you never see Iranian hackers - is that because you people are stupid?

Yes.

https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

Nice quote Farouk.

Of course the report you linked that you didn't read provides NO evidence of Russia hacking anything. The only interference is with them buying ads on facebook - which everyone including you Iranians do.

Hey, I get it - you're a "baffle em with bullshit" kind of troll.

LOLOL

You poor, demented Fruitcake. The report proves what I said. Your limited single-digit IQ is no match for reality.

Is that why you quoted the pertinent parts, Farouk?

You thought you could bullshit your way past, as always...

Bologna. This Farouk the ultimate head above Ayatollah of IRAN..... LOL.
It’s sad when people are face with facts and reality. Truth hurts eh buddy. Instead of giving me your usual blabbering nonsense. Why don’t you give me your rebuttal If you have any. Where in my post above that I mentioned Russia?
ALL my post I mean ALL my post are straight facts and reality. If you or anyone think it’s false. PROVE IT.


And your Farouk hogwash. Just because I exposed Iran military might capabilities and strategies in this site. Is that makes me an Iranian? Where in my previous post that I supported Iran? You should be thankful that you have a member in this site that has these knowledge and experience giving you these information about Iran. You are one of the top 10 dumbest i encountered in this site.

What "facts" have you Iranians EVER provided?

Allah sucks Muhammads cock in hell - FYI.

 

[charwin95]

Censorship is fascist. Right, ANTIFA??

And it's exactly what tRump is trying to do.

/—-/ Trump is censoring companies that censor people? That’s you twisted fu***d up position?

That’s funny. Trump Sr and Trump Jr promoting a lunatic doctor that you can get cyst if you have sex with demon, you can get pregnant by watching movie. GOD DEEENG. That’s Trump.

When I was 19 yo I got hit with a golf ball in my right rib case. I went to the hospital of course they can’t do anything except pain killers. It took me 2 weeks to recover. 30 years later a cyst showed up. I thought it was a cancer but it’s just a cyst so I have them take it off. But I don’t remember having sex with demon according to Trump. So Trump lied. AAAGAAAAIN. Trump is a clown.

 

[charwin95]

Trump went even further than I expected.

IOW, Baby Donald got his diaper in a twist over being humiliated when he re-tweeted those batshyte crazy nitwits promoting hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID. Not to mention that Jr got his wrist slapped pretty hard since he too re-tweeted the nonsense. So.........President Petulance took it personally. He thinks he and all the other right wing crazies should have the freedom to post lies, misinformed, and recklessly dangerous things for people's health.

The question is, how many from the left brought up the subject of HCQ not working or being dangerous when that isn't the truth either?

HCQ is experimental and has mixed opinions on it's effectiveness from doctors and disease experts. Some have claimed it doesn't work while others are making claim it saved the lives of some of their patients.

You are poorly misinformed. PAY ATTENTION. Yes HCQ are administered in hospitals in a strictly supervised environment. it works sometimes it doesn’t depending on the stage of infections. But it’s NOT the cure to fight Covid-19.
Let me repeat it again OVER and OVER. The difference what your moron he is promoting. Wants you to take it as PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. That is why he took it. That’s the difference.

Yes. it’s very dangerous especially to people that has a have heart problems like you. Just imagine if you just willy nilly take it. What do you think will happen to you? How many times people suddenly died of heat attack not knowing they have a heart problems? How do you even know that in the near future you will develop a hear problem? Are you going to take that risk just because this ignorant idiot wants you to take it? Since when that is acceptable?

Study after study clinical trials after clinical trials of HCQ it has negative results. FDA, CDC NIH is the rule of law about medications in this country followed by numerous countries around the world as the standard. Not from a lying ignorant president who does not have the credibility or medical experience to force people to take any medications.
So if Trump continues to promote unproven drugs like HCQ as a preventative maintenance against FDA, CDC, NIH. Is that acceptable? If I own FB, Twitter etc etc. I will ban him and slap him in the face for spreading misinformation that is dangerous to Americans.

On top of that he is promoting, praising and adoring a lunatic doctor in Houston that is spewing just garbage misinformation about HCQ. Plus alien DNA, sex with demon can get you cyst or watching movies. That’s the president of US. Just because he likes what he is saying.

No one said it was a "cure," moron. However, if it relieves the symptoms and eliminates fatalities, then it's as good as a cure. That's precisely why you hate it. HCQ is far safer then the symptoms of COVID in people over 70.

51 studies have shown positive results.

You're spouting DNC talking points to keep the shutdown going as long as possible.

You're a fucking douchebag.

Iran wants as many Americans as possible to die. If the disinformation from Charwin results in even one American death, Allah will smile.

Another hogwash. Keep trying. Where in my post I want Americans to die? Read my post don’t stare at it.

 

[Faun]

Aww, he got a sad, because they wouldn't let him hock snake oil on the internet. What a pathetic snowflake.

17 medical doctors, or leftist journalists who would rather millions die that Trump get credit for something - who to believe....

{

The Virology Journal – the official publication of Dr. Fauci’s National Institutes of Health – published what is now a blockbuster article on August 22, 2005, under the heading – get ready for this – “Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread.” (Emphasis mine throughout.) Write the researchers, “We report…that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage.”

This means, of course, that Dr. Fauci (pictured at right) has known for 15 years that chloroquine and it’s even milder derivative hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will not only treat a current case of coronavirus (“therapeutic”) but prevent future cases (“prophylactic”). So HCQ functions as both a cure and a vaccine. In other words, it’s a wonder drug for coronavirus. Said Dr. Fauci’s NIH in 2005, “concentrations of 10 μM completely abolished SARS-CoV infection.” Fauci’s researchers add, “chloroquine can effectively reduce the establishment of infection and spread of SARS-CoV.”

Cover Up: Fauci Approved Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine 15 Years Ago to Cure Coronaviruses; “Nobody Needed to Die” - Global Research

Among Global Research’s most popular 2020 articles This article was first published in May 2020. Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose “expert” advice to President Trump has resulted in the complete shutdown of the greatest economic engine in world history, has known since 2005 that chloroquine is an...

LOLOLOL

You rightards never learn.

Ever.

That study 15 years ago was never tested on people.

It involved chloroquine, not hydroxychloroquine.

It was about a different strain of coronavirus.

But I get it... you read about this on Facebook, so it must be a cure now for COVID-19.

I always get a kick when retards regurgitate my isults because they're not bright enough to think up their own.

Oh poor baby. Like I said repeatedly. What difference does it make? You and most of the cultist don’t even know how/what the difference when lies are lies or wrong or wrong both 2 thumbs up for Trump.

Where in my post that I said I hate HCQ? The most I hate is promoting HCQ as preventative maintenance that your moron is pushing it hard. Not a single health agencies or hospital or well known research supported that stupid idea. NOBODY. That’s his main issue. A 100% real snake oil salesmen.

You don’t anything about science and medicine to talk about HCQ. The CDC, FDA and NIH gave you a very strong warning and danger of using HCQ. Those are the most qualified people here in this earth that gives you the best information about medications. NOT from a lousy ignorant moron president. You got that?

Who said it’s a cure? Trump said it repeatedly. Pay attention and focus. Why do you think that Donnie keeps promoting HCQ as PM ? How many times he said it’s the cure? This lunatic doctor from Houston explicitly said HCQ is the cure that Trump admired and praised. Sadly.

I’m not a supporter of any boycott. The issue with Chick Fila was donating $ against LGBTQ.

NOPE.

The American Communist Party (democrats) attacked Chic-fil-A because Dan Cathy said in an interview that he believed that marriage should be between a man and woman. The Nazicrat vermin went wild at the idea that anyone have free speech - but it backfired on the Stalinist fucks

You can go hundreds blocks wirh your buddies supporting Chick fila... That is not the point.... In any circumstance you don’t want any large groups of people boycotting your products. as much as possible solve it fast and avoid it. That is a good business practices.

RESULTS of the boycott.......Chick Fila reverse or changed where the donations are going. November 2019 the Chick-fil-A foundation announced in a statement that it planned to concentrate its giving in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger. That’s the results of the boycott. A success.

And now Chic-fil-A will go bankrupt.

Look, you're an Iranian, you don't understand America. BUT for the filthy democrats, it should have demonstrated the power of the silent majority that absolutely crushes these loud and violent fascist-Marxist pigs.

democrats have their Brown Shirts engaging in nightly terrorism and think they are winning.

November will be a shock for them - again - because the Communists are stupid, and can't learn.

Oh poor baby. Where in my post that I supported the boycott? I specifically said I don’t support the boycott. Read my post don’t stare at it. You are dumber and stupid than I thought. You went all over the place with foaming in your mouth.
Where in my post that I said Chick Fila will go bankrupt?

I exactly said Chick Fila foundation changed where the donations went. From anti LGBTQ to education, hunger and homelessness.
What part of your low IQ don’t understand that? You probably feel betrayed by Chicky Chicky.,

Hydroxychloroquine could cause severe heart problems in Covid-19 patients, FDA warns

FDA on Friday warned providers not to use the anti-malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid-19 patients outside of a clinical trial or hospital setting because the drugs could cause patients to experience "serious heart rhythm problems."

www.advisory.com

Oh my ALLAH.

Well, Hydroxychroroquin is a BRAND NEW DRUG that's never been used before, right comrade traitor?

Because if it had been in use for 93 FUCKING YEARS, you piles of shit would look REALLY FUCKING STUPID, doncha think?

They regurgitate the talking points they've been given.

Add on.
Since you don’t have any clue about American businesses. In any circumstances you try to avoid or solve the problems like boycott ASAP. That’s the best practices. Not just lay there leave it as it is.


Facebook right now is facing a major boycott from major big name supporters. Loosing billions $ in billions + revolting employees for being too lenient of false information using Facebook. They deleted Trump Sr and Jr post promoting a lunatic doctor Immanuel in Houston. Then Trump execute another EO to stop that. Sadly.

HUGE! Trump White House Implements Executive Order on Online Censorship: Prevents Tech Giants from Altering Users’ Free Speech – Demands Transparency of Moderation Practices​

​

This Is Big!​

​

On Wednesday Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Google’s Sundar Pichai and Apple’s Tim Cook testified before Congress in the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust.​

​

Since 2016 and the election of Donald Trump the tech giants have been censoring and banning conservative voices online. The Gateway Pundit has been a huge target of these liberal tech giants.​

​

Of course, the CEOs dismissed allegations that they are targeting and censoring conservative users despite ALL of the evidence to the contrary.​

Trump can't stop a private company from doing anything. The Constitution only prevents the government from censoring free speech.

A private company is under no such prohibitions.

That's wrong, of course.

Its been used for specific conditions, not just any virus.

One moment, please...

They knew there was heart failure risk with this drug prior to the existence of covid.

 

[lantern2814]

Then you're very obtuse and should read more carefully. I've always been opposed to civil rights legislation that forces people to do business with others against their will. The government should never have the power to order businesses around in the name of social engineering. That's exactly the same reason I oppose Trumps attempts to force businesses to host his stupidity.

So, revoking special protections for a particular class of favored businesses is wrong then? I mean, without favors, what does Washington have to sell, right?

Stow the scrambling excuses. If the tables were turned, if it were a Democrat president going after Fox News, you'd be howling. And you know it.

Well, since Fox has a broadcast license, that’s a totally different set of rules. So your argument here is pure nonsense.

 

[lantern2814]

I doubt any of these allow child porno on their sites, but I wouldn't know...

I guess you'd know all the child porno sites, right?

Your ignorance is showing. But that's expected from the left; you deal from emotions and not knowledge or facts.

Let"s say that you are an Internet service provider. One of your customers uses your service to download child pornography. In the process of downloading, that pornography passes through your servers and is now stored in the cache of your servers. The FBI raids your customer's house and confiscates his computer. They start tracing back on the child porn and see that the network connection upstream to your customer points back to you. The FBI raids your facility and confiscates your servers. Not only do they find child pornography on your servers but they find proof that you delivered that pornography to your customer.... Guess what? You're going to prison for a long time... Except that you're actually not. There are laws that protect you because you're not the content provider; you are a service provider.

In another example, let's say that you are a company that functions as a file-sharing service, a mini-Dropbox, for example. You don't even own your own servers; you simply use a hosting service, rent some online disk storage, and wrote some software and now you're making money by letting people post files online and share them. Most of your customers are storing pictures of their kids or maybe some spreadsheets for work.. But then there's that one customer and now you're going to prison for running a business that hosts child pornography... Except, once again, you're not. There's a law that protects you as a service provider and not a content provider.

In both cases, and in the law, if you're a content provider, even if you didn't provide that exact content, then you don't qualify for the legal exemption. And, in both cases, the service provider must take reasonable steps to eliminate or prevent illegal content and, if they do take reasonable steps, the exception applies to them.

Facebook and the other social media companies enjoy that exception to the law. But if they become content providers by adding or removing legal content, changing the nature of the legal discussion or content, then they are content providers. If they are content providers then their specific, explicit, special, exception needs to be removed. With that exception removed, when someone posts child pornography on their sites, they're liable. When someone posts calls to action to break the law, any law - including sedition, rioting, arson, or overthrow of government, then they are liable. They need to be shut down just like any other person would be for making explicit calls to action to violate the law.

Thanks for your incredibly hypothetical and ignorant post.

If you knew anything about managing networks, you'd know that virtually every company runs filtering software that identifies and blocks porn - except for porno sites.

If you knew anything about networks you would know these filters are not 100% effective.

Nothing is 100% effective. But as long as they do their 'due diligence' by running filtering software, their responsibility is satisfied.

Blocking posts that criticize BLM is not "due dilligence," nor is it "hate speech."

Posts criticizng BLM aren't being taken down. Posts calling them a "terrorist organization" and claiming that BLM is responsible for the riots which are the result of the President's actions, and lying about BLM, goes beyond "criticize", and is an incitement to violence. Incitements to violence violate user agreements with both Facebook and Twitter.

In other words, posts criticizing BLM are being taken down.

No, posts LYING ABOUT AND SLANDERING Black Lives Matter, are being taken down.

You're the guy who is always claiming people lie about Trump and that the "Fake News" shouldn't be allowed to lie about Trump. Yet you're good with Trump lying about BLM.

The problem for you is that the Mainstream Media isn't lying about Trump. FOX News, Breitbart, and Sinclair Media are lying about Trump. Nobody is making them take down their lies, so you can go back to your bubble and keep pretending Trump isn't a danger to the country and the world, but the rest of us aren't that gullible or stupid.

The Mainstream Media let Trump lie his way into the White House in 2016, and didn't call him on his lies. The American people trusted him once. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Shame on you FingerBoi, Shame on you.

You are truly this dumb. Black LIES don’t matter has lied about police racism, lied about systematic racism, hell their entire existence is based on a blatant lie “hands up don’t shoot”. Fox is not lying, YOU are. The lame stream media has been exposed as participating in a phony Russian interference hoax, and still carries on with phony stories and blatant lies you sheep’s lick up. Black LIES matter is a garbage organization. Try reading their goals. Intelligent blacks have and are calling them out for the idiots they are.

Ugh you’re such an idiot. If Trump never whines about this, you wouldn’t even give a shut.

More importantly, the fact that you think letting these companies censor content is a violation of the 1st amendment is so fucking stupid. NO ONE IS BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME INVOLVING FREE SPEECH IDIOT. It’s their goddamn platform. Funny how you support regulations that fit your narrative.

Trump isn't asking them to censor content, moron. He's asking them not to censor it.

They have been protected by the law, so it's not "their goddamn platform."

I sure do enjoy watching you have a royal hissy fit when your game is over.

Yeah idiot. I know. He doesn’t want his completr bullshit censored. It’s so moronic how you think their censorship ON THEIR PLATFORM is a violation of his 1st amendment rights. I can’t get over how fucking stupid that is lol

Trump gets censored for the truth, yet idiots like you cheer as the PROVEN BULLSHIT Russia hoax crap get so to remain up. As well as true hate speech from the Ayatollah and the Democrat Party. When it’s only conservatives getting removed, that’s censorship and illegal. We can’t get over how stupid you are. Lol.

Oh Please. Trump get censored for the truth. What truth? Like WHAT? Trump lied most of the time spreading false information especially CV crisis.
You are die hard supporter. what difference does it make? You and most of the rest cannot even tell the difference when he spewing hatred, racism, anti Americans. Lies is acceptable, wrong information is acceptable just because of Trump. SADLY.

Stop playing like a victim. If Trump tweeted hatred, incite violence, misinformation. They have the right to delete that tweet. It’s that simple. You don’t like it but it is what it is.


2 weeks ago Trump retweeted Chuck Woolery that Covid-19 are all lies, doctors, hospitals, CDC, media, democrats are all lies. This is the president of US ( I think ) spreading false information in the middle of pandemic crisis.

Hey dumbfuck, show where Trump has encouraged violence or encouraged rioters like you retards do. Trump got censored because idiots like you can’t handle the truth. You’re the one crying like the victim here. You’re a Stage 4 TDS suffering moron so the truth hurts your little pea brain. Spreading false information. No. That’s you and the rest of your leftist ilk. It’s all you have. No, if posts from only one side are deleted, they do NOT have that right. Period.

 

[busybee01]

They CAN ban if people violate their ToS, and regardless they ARE private entities. Even publishers like the media are not required to publish everything. They pick and choose.

Can bakers refuse to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding?

They cannot refuse to bake a cake. They are a public accomodation. I don't necessarily believe they have to bake a wedding cake but they have to bake a cake.

You make posts back to back. One saying a business can operate as they please, the other saying they are a public accommodation and have to adhere to certain rules of operation...

They operate in two different business environments. Social media companies do not sell to the public. They are not bound by free speech rules. A bakery that sells directly to the public is different with a different set of rules.

They bound themselves to free speech rules when they asked for government protection from lawsuits, moron.

No they did not moron. This will be thrown out if he tries it.

That law is pure idiocy and unconstitutional. The commerce clause does not give the federal government to run every business in the United States.

They do not have the right to discriminate. If they do then they can be sued.

They do have that right in the Constitution, but liberal judges overruled the Constitution.

So in other words the Constitution should allow merchants to not sell to blacks. Not sell to Jews. They do not have a right to do that you bigoted asshole.

Where does it say they operate on two different sets of rules?

Also, I think some are saying that, yes, if Facebook or Google doesn't want to allow certain views on their platform, they have that right, as they are indeed private companies. What that also means, however, is that when theydo that, they forfeit protection from being sued. If they are going to cherry pick what content is allowed on their sites, then they become a publisher, and the laws state that as a publisher, they are responsible for anything posted on their platform, even if they were unaware that it was there.

Actually I disagree with that. They are not publishers. That is like saying the post office should be held liable if they deliver a threatening note.

 

[BlueGin]

It's funny to see the right pro-regulation all of a sudden.

That said, I think some changes in the laws are needed. The legal framework for these tech giants is outdated.

Negative... The government isn't regulating anything with this.

I guess you're right. It's not really "regulation". Just the government ordering the media to abide by the President's wishes. Authoritarian much?

Not the presidents wishes. They are being made to follow the guidelines of section 230 of the communications decency act. They can always forego them if they want to be a publisher instead of a platform. They just can’t abuse the rules when it suits their purposes.
