Senate Republicans call on Twitter, Facebook bosses to testify amid censorship claims, say subpoena in works

[pknopp]

Facebook can censor whatever they want.

Nope, and not if it is doing so for the purpose of using the platform in order to sway the election in one party's favor over another, and this by way of using slime tactics by it's management to do so.

Facebook and Twitter have a huge amount of conservatives using their platforms also, and to do such a thing in the ways that they've been doing things, is a huge slap in the face towards their conservative users..... It is a shame that they would even contemplate such a thing if they want to stay neutral in honor of their diverse memberships. It should be illegal for these platforms to sell adds for or engage in politic's period, especially after this bullcrap has been learned about them.

In fact they should actually self sensor themselves concerning all political activity, and stay neutral in regards to their huge diverse memberships.

At this point, if I were a member of either platform, I would definitely cancel my membership. No way am I making these people able to cut my head off like that.

If anyone stays after knowing what they know now, it's no different than ignoring Netflix after showing the show called "Cuties". It's really that bad.

Funny how people feel that they can't make it without these platforms, even though the internet has many ways to stay in touch with family members etc. It's like a drug I guess, otherwise once you get hooked on it or maybe you're the kind of person that loves such a thing that you can't or won't turn away from it. Who knows really, but for these platforms to betray the trust of it's membership is really a huge punch in the nose.

They can. What you or anyone else feels they should do is different than what they can do. People do many things I disagree with but that is their right.

Nope, you are wrong.

And yet Facebook is reportedly doing it and nothing can be done about it.

Though lefty is all about egalitarianism....apparently not when it comes to news dissemination....there has long been a standard for newspapers and the legal framework was established back in the 20's and 30's....time has now come to establish a new framework for electronic media news. Isn't it funny how the same lefty wants all the Billionaires to distribute their money but doesn't want access rich companies like facebook and twitter to share their web space? Notice any hypocrisy there?

Oh, the entire thing is drenched in hypocrisy. We have libs pretending to care about free markets, and Republicans, or at least Trumpsters, clamoring for a statist take down of social media companies. They switch sides so fast is dizzying.

In the mean time the best way to fight back is to go here and patronize this place....it's breathing down the necks of both facebook and twitter...

Indeed. That's the way to handle it. No need for big government bullying.

It's beyond the citizen's handling it now, so government definitely should step in to correct the issue.

No they can not. They are a public platform and if they censor they are not allowed 1st amendment protections... They also lose their tax status.

They are violating federal communications law, RICO or Election Fixing could apply to their companies. The DOJ could file a motion to enjoin them from this activity or seize the companies for these violations of RICO and Election law.

Outta the park, Billy Bob.

Gotta love Trumpster socialists.

Project much?

Not today. I'm neither Trumpsters nor socialist.

But there are lots of you out there.

The facts are, we are all socialists.

Nope. Not me.

You may not agree with it but indeed you likely are. You will sign up for Medicare. Take and spend your stimulus checks, etc.

That makes no sense. Being trapped in a system polluted with socialism doesn't make one a socialist.

IMO that's more of a philosophical argument. Who are you voting for?

Jorgensen - Libertarian. You?

Jorgensen. But I will take Medicare here in a few years.

That doesn't make you a socialist. Apart from philosophical nitpicking, we're talking about what we advocate for, what we fight for in society. Unless you voted for Medicare, or promoted it in some way, you're not a "socialist". What was the point of saying "we are all socialists"?

I support the idea of every single person being able to see and afford to see a doctor or attend to their medical needs in this country. I'm not too particular as to how we get there but I support getting there.

As I told a friend of mine who knows I hold that position how it was that I was voting for Jorgensen, I told them that my choices were few and I still prefer doing nothing over doing the wrong thing. Biden and Trump will do the wrong thing.

How can you sit there and say that about Trump, especially after the many, many things that he got done for this country ????

Either you are a shill or just uninformed badly, but you are still leaning by grouping Trump in with Biden in hopes to taint his re-election. Nobody's fooled here.

Hypocrites is spot on.... On the one hand they hate the rich - they're not paying their fair share, they get to many tax breaks, and on and on and on, but then you find these hypocrites supporting the Uber rich if they think for one second that some of their power and influence might shift their way. Mentally ill human beings that stand for foolishness daily.

It's time for leftist priveledge to end abruptly in this country. Time to go back to a time when proper representation was in play for all except for the radicals or idiot's... It's time we had leadership that supported the concept of fairness again, and Trump is the one to get it done for all of us. Biden is a lying, race baiting corrupt politician that is ten times worse than anything the leftist attempted to accuse Trump of. Trump 2020... MAGA-Again.

Yep, and their powerful CEOs are mentally unstable people, but somehow they exist due to demand, but if they keep it up their demand might end abruptly, otherwise if American's still have any substance or standards left.

At this point, if I were a member of either platform, I would definitely cancel my membership. No way am I making these people able to cut my head off like that.

If anyone stays after knowing what they know now, it's no different than ignoring Netflix after showing the show called "Cuties". It's really that bad.

Funny how people feel that they can't make it without these platforms, even though the internet has many ways to stay in touch with family members etc. It's like a drug I guess, otherwise once you get hooked on it or maybe you're the kind of person that loves such a thing that you can't or won't turn away from it. Who knows really, but for these platforms to betray the trust of it's membership is really a huge punch in the nose.

They can. What you or anyone else feels they should do is different than what they can do. People do many things I disagree with but that is their right.

Nope, you are wrong.

And yet Facebook is reportedly doing it and nothing can be done about it.

We'll see.

Just like you are waiting for Hillary to get arrested? (there is reasons for that even)

If she committed crimes, yep she should be arrested. She is no different than that cooking lady Martha Stewart that went to prison for insider trading.

Even though Trump ran on that she isn't is she? If they wanted Facebook can make their site whatever they want to.

Within the boundaries of laws.

The left keeps forgetting that part.

There is nothing to forget. There are no laws that apply here.

Sect 230 to define publisher vs platform.

Nothing new you just choose to ignore what you don't like.

Facebook can censor whatever they want.

Nope, and not if it is doing so for the purpose of using the platform in order to sway the election in one party's favor over another, and this by way of using slime tactics by it's management to do so.

Facebook and Twitter have a huge amount of conservatives using their platforms also, and to do such a thing in the ways that they've been doing things, is a huge slap in the face towards their conservative users..... It is a shame that they would even contemplate such a thing if they want to stay neutral in honor of their diverse memberships. It should be illegal for these platforms to sell adds for or engage in politic's period, especially after this bullcrap has been learned about them.

In fact they should actually self sensor themselves concerning all political activity, and stay neutral in regards to their huge diverse memberships.

Either can promote whatever they want as long as it's legal. Even then it depends on how you promote it.

Personally I would like to see them ban all politics but barring that I can read thousands of other pages instead.

No, they can't. Not under the rules they have been operating under.
