Twitters censorship here doesnt even appear to fall within the policy it cites.
Like any business, Twitter has a right to its views.
And like any business, Twitter is accountable for meeting its terms of service.
No business gets to violate those terms for political reasons.

(16,685 posts)No platform is going to curate every single posting. They respond to complaints... particularly repeated patterns of behavior. Are these tools suggesting there was an enormous and continual outpouring of complaints about those postings that were ignored while Twitter went afyer Trump?

(45,002 posts)Twitter can delete Trump's tweets just because they don't like him.
Trump doesn't pay Twitter for anything. It's a free privately owned service.
Trump can choose to use it or not. That's freedom too.

(1,990 posts)Nothing has been censored or deleted, it has simply been flagged. I STG, the world is freaking over if rational freaking adults are going to concoct their own fantasy land because Twitter dared to flag three out of a million tweets by Donald Trump. Seriously, not one person should be trying to pretend Trump is the victim. Its as absurd as pretending water isn't wet or the sky is green.

(19,835 posts)...even though the FCC has NO AUTHORITY here. Pai and Carr then shivered in their boots and posted some boilerplate but ultimately baseless commentary.
Well, fuck the bunch of them.
