(6,513 posts)Under the right circumstances, which for this pRes means just about whatever he wants, he can indeed hit the kill switch for the internet.
I wish it weren't so.
I'd love a bowl of popcorn to watch what would happen if Twitter cut off his account for abusing the TOS. He has screwed up the economy, and I don't think he cares who he hurts.
Dystopian times we are living in.

(12,363 posts)He's just trying to detract from his failures being called out.
No court in the land, including the SC, would sanction this clearly unconstitutional EO.

I'll bet Twitter is afraid of his ability to shut them down altogether. He doesn't have to shut down the entire internet, but he could shut down Twitter and anyone else he wants to harm.
"under threat of war." Well, what is China doing nowadays? I think I read that they have been gearing up for war. How did that go? Hong Kong is heating up because they are trying to save themselves. South China Sea is heating up.
We need to have a plan to overcome loss of the internet. Chump has got to go.
Remember that we can Vote Blue no matter who. We can hold that ground. Show up or mail your ballot . There's nothing he can do to prevent us from voting every last bastard out of office. Get rid of the GOP.
