So Twitter just suspended me...

[Shogon]

Now it seems it falls to the liberal to defend the free market. Twilight zone shit.

There was no twitter or reddit or whatever...then the internet provided thousands of options and the market gave several disproportionate power. I will not use being better than a gang of shitty startups that came along with them against a big private company. They have the exact share of the market that the people of this country and the world gave them of their free will because of them doing an excellent job.

Start conservative Twitter. Hell many people already did. If they don’t support it enough for its revenue to justify expansion....tell me why that isn’t the free market at work.

It's pretty easy... none of these companies made their political viewpoints a part of their growth to power. Sure, the free market could take them down over the long run, but the damage done to society in the mean time... lol.

All that aside? We don't even have a free market anyways because of all the useful idiots on both sides of the aisle in Washington along with a largely ignorant populace that are constantly interested in increasing the scope of the federal government. The bigger the government gets, the less free the market is.

If you think google's role in society is just that of a private company, or that anything I've said is untrue... we have nothing left to discuss because you aren't interested in being honest.

Know what’s funny? This conservative free speech startup social media is having problems....enforcing its free speech crushing rules.

John Matze, CEO of Parler, a buzzy Twitter clone for conservatives, has a message for users trying to test the boundaries of the service’s free speech ethos: Free speech has its limits.Posting pictures of fecal matter is prohibited, he wrote this week after seeing far too much fecal matter. He also reminded users that they can’t post pornography, like a digitally altered picture that went viral, showing a naked President Trump getting a spray tan. And obscene usernames are forbidden—free speech be damned.
Over the past few months, a growing number of conservatives who feel unfairly censored by Twitter and Facebook have flocked to the friendlier pixels of Parler. President Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, along with conservative media organizations like Breitbart News and the Washington Examiner, have all joined recently.
But as the number of users climbs above 1 million, Parler is coming to terms with just how complicated policing the service can be. Despite the supposed hands-off philosophy, Matze is increasingly hands-on—much like Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and, to a lesser extent, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who steps in reluctantly. “As soon as the press started picking up, we had a ton of violations,” says Matze. “We had a queue of over 7,000 violations, and we only had three people” to police the entire site

Seems it’s hard to have rules and not crush “free speech”....when people are idiots.

When you think everything you say is facts and not open to discussion you don’t need to speak to me anyway. Half of your points involves some version of “I’m right even if you don’t accept it” be it basketball or over here. If you’re just here to post supposedly irrefutable facts you aren’t open to discuss I don’t know why you bother talking at all. Maybe just make a topic stating your facts every now and then and leave it alone if you accept no other points of view as even worth discussing.

Unless you are a celeb or public figure, most people don't actually have a voice on these platforms...for an "everyday person" getting noticed by the masses takes a viral tweet which requires a ton of luck.

Its about being allowed to engage in public discourse. And when most of that discourse is happening on platforms like twitter, they should do their best to allow everyone to chime in. Regardless of it obviously being their good right to ban someone.

It is not hard to find right wing opinions on Twitter. I mean fck probably half the tweets on there are the left and right bickering at each other.

Yes ultimately a platform where everyone is free to say ANYTHING and silence nothing...troll/be racist/spread ridiculous theories/pics of fecal matter/etc...that will never be able to make it as a main-stream platform...that will never be appealing to the masses.

I'm right even if you don't accept it.

They keep trying this, but then they outright ban libs/leftists, which tells me it has nothing to do with free speech to them.

I doubt those people doing the banning are touting free speech... and if they are, they're stupid.

And in the link they provided me, I can dispute the suspension.

In the space used to dispute my suspension I just wrote: "F*ck you guys!"


Then in the field where they ask for my name, I just wrote: "F*ck you, that's my name!"


I'll let you guys know what transpires from this. Would be hilarious if they permanently banned/deleted my account.



I'm the real ANTIFA.

Twitter and Google/YouTube are biased against conservative views.

I'm not sure that gov't intervention is going to make things any better; I just wish those publishers/platforms would just come out of the closet and stop pretending they don't have their own political agendas baked into their algorithms and moderators.

Yeah or maybe not being inclusive of all people is what now passes for conservative.

Not all people. Just people who don't share the same political agenda.

Any adult who uses Twitter (or Facebook for that matter) is mentally ill. This is your opportunity to finally go outside. Embrace it.

So athletes and actors.

Amazing to me that small government conservatives think private companies should be forced to follow free speech rules applied to the government. Nobody has to let you use their business platform for your purposes. Your freedoms entitle you to make your own twitter. Not to use theirs any way you want. If you do a decent job you can then place your rules on it....

Youre owed a voice. Not anyone else’s platform.

Wrong.

You ate teetering on "discrimination" now. What about the company forced to bake wedding cakes for the gays when it was their own business and they didnt want to?
