Brian Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) With the attacks on the media from 45 and biased cable news stations and outlets for both sides, thought I'd try a media thread after Facebook banned InfoWars and Alex Jones this morning. Alt right is up in arms. I don't believe in censorship but Facebook is a private company and can choose who and what to ban from their site. And F InfoWars and Alex Jones, so it is funny to me.

Zuckerberg will predictably get hammered by Trump tweets...it would be funny if he responded back “at least my wife is a real American,” then pushed one of those big red nuclear button props that reads “adios QAnon, goodbye NRA...now permanently banned from the platform, and you too, Avenatti and Guiliani.” Of course, that would have a ripple affect on FB stock because he’d be losing 20-25% of his user base and probably incur an assassination attempt as well.

Dick Allen Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 What kind of responsibility will the WH take when something actually does happen to a journalist as a result of all the Trump/Sarah Sanders BS? I guess I already know, none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of twitter users are offering the same to the NRA after they claimed they are nearly broke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 On Tuesday, @jack on Twitter said that Infowars wasn't taken down there because they hadn't broken any of Twitter's rules. On Wednesday, one of Twitter's VPs sent around an email saying that the videos that caused them to be pulled down from the other networks weren't posted on Twitter. Today, CNN ran article showing that yes, those videos were all cross posted on Twitter, and also outlining dozens of tweets that violated specific twitter rules and which rule they violated. Those accounts are still there but after CNN Posted their article, those specific tweets were removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, nothing I'm actually a little surprised Trump hasn't been brought up in a lawsuit about this. I know he is a sitting president and all, but he IS posting from his personal account. I'm sure there is a legal reason why, or maybe they are waiting until after he is out of office, but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
