MyahJeanSpears Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It's not just him. Its seemingly everyone who has conservative views. I'm not a conservative but I am personally not celebrating this. This sets a dangerous precedent. I am not for censorship on ANY platform. They are also trying to shut down the conservative alternative to Twitter (Parler). Liberals more than anyone should know the importance of having a "safe space." Given what happened on the 6th, I don't believe that the best answer is to silence 80+ million people when the country is already in a fragile and divisive state. I also don't believe another impeachment when there are only 12 days left to his presidency is the answer. The media could simply not pay attention to Trump. But all I see this past year is everything bad that happens being used as an excuse to exercise further restrictions on everyone. If Big Tech and the government continue pulling this **** I honestly believe what happened on the 6th is going to seem mild compared to what's coming. But at this point I'm starting to think these people thrive from this chaos. Scary times we are living in. Link to comment

All he had to do is not initiate terrorist attacks. At the end of the day Twitter is private company and they can do what they want. After all when you sign up you agree with their rules.

While you have a point and I am not excusing anything he has done, it just doesn't sit well with me. It makes me uncomfortable. But then again I grew up with dystopian, post-apocalyptic literature. Big Tech is increasingly becoming more powerful and to be honest I don't even think they should be considered "private companies." I believe they have too much influence and there needs to be more checks and balances on them. Especially considering how much information/data they mine from us for free. I honestly feel like doing that right now is going to make the situation worse, not better. I don't care so much about banning him, but they are seemingly happy banning anyone with a conservative platform and that I do not agree with at all. And to reiterate, I am not a conservative. But it's very dangerous to be silencing people and forcing everyone to think the same. That **** is not supposed to fly in the U.S. YouTubers who even mention corona virus or the elections are getting deplatformed. Link to comment
ColdAsFire88 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The damage is done. Banning him isn’t going to stop the 70+ million people that voted for him from voicing their opinions and carrying on his agenda. MAGA isn’t republican its a movement. Social media platforms should have nipped this in the butt four years ago. What they’ve done now is proven Trump right. He has kept saying that the media is fake and silences people...now they’ve ‘banned’ him. All they have done now is fanned the fires and things in America are going to implode from here I am glad I have my passport Link to comment
Justin Woodpond Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 @MyahJeanSpears Rules are rules. Should apply to all. Can you really call out censorship and then say you have a problem with big tech. Hasn’t technology and free speech always gone hand in hand from the inception of the printing press up until now. Its symbiotic. Society (or collective behaviour) is an entropic system, it always moves towards chaos. Interesting. Can you name some of them books you are referring to? Link to comment

It it’s the law of the universe. Which would explain time. Interesante. Can you name some of them books you are referring to? Girl, what? Link to comment

Sea flower Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I agree that is not good to censor people, but to be honest, he was asking for it. He spread missinformation and it is not the first time something terrible happens. People died that night because he cannot accept he lost an election. He is very dangerous. Link to comment
