Atticus Finch Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 if the Republic depended on zulu1128 having a sack and saying something critical of Trump we'd all be fucked. But we'd probably get a killer meme or a smarmy post as a parting gift. So there's that. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Interesting thought that crossed my mind earlier about Parler and its losing servers and their lawsuit about anti-trust stuff and all. These loons have been here there and everywhere declaring Civil War, then they acted on the threats by charging into the Capitol with intent to do harm to the rightfully elected members of congress and the senate, and even the Vice President. During war, one of the first moves is to disrupt communication of the enemy. Not saying we're in war exactly, but, I think the safe havens of declaring war and threatening violence against the duly elected government and its citizens does appear to have some consequences. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Twitter is mad that the government in Uganda has banned social media because they don’t want the social media giants interfering in the election. You can’t make this shit up. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the people in power have accurately pointed out big techs collusion in swaying elections the way they desire, and they are putting a halt to it. They are not banning free speech by their citizens. They are banning big tech from changing the outcome of an election with lies and propaganda. You knew that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter bans people based on beliefs they disagree with. So leaders in Uganda disagree with big techs beliefs and shut them down. And Twitter is mad about it. Twitter being upset is a parody.

Nolebull813 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Twitter, Google and Facebook have all coordinated to sway the election to their preferred candidate. They would post anti Trump articles from their buddies at the MSM and move them to the top. When you would google information, anti-Trump and anti-Republican outlets would be the first links you could find. And they all banned as many conservative voices as they could before the election. They had a direct impact with lies and propaganda. But since they did that in favor of your preferred candidate you will pretend it never happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitter can ban people that it chooses because it's their platform. Twitter criticizing a government for banning social media is not the same thing. And the government is banning social media because they want to control the message. It's amazing how stupid you are. Again, you have yet to make single coherent point on this topic.

And how do you know that big tech doesn’t negatively impact elections in Uganda. Are you an expert? Are you on the commission in Uganda that would make such a determination? Obviously the leaders feel that big tech is a propaganda machine and shouldn’t be trusted. The people of Uganda should not be relying on social media telling them what to think. Kudos to the proactive approach to these evil giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we're in war exactly, but, I think the safe havens of declaring war and threatening violence against the duly elected government and its citizens does appear to have some consequences. It's tricky because (like you say) we're not at war. I think Congress is working on a piece of legislation that would introduce new government offices to monitor and combat domestic terrorists, but it's controversial even among Dems, and rightly so. But I get your point. I think it's just a matter of getting the details right. The devil is in the details. We're going to have to work this stuff out in the coming months and years.

I guess everyone would need to come to a consensus to what a domestic terrorist is. A lot of people feel that the BLM movement is a terrorist organization. The riots and looting in the summer surely would count as domestic terrorism. If you can’t agree with that simple assertion then I would assume there would be a ways to go to find common ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countrys elected leaders and operated governments long before social media existed. Social media isn’t a prerequisite for anyone. No one needs social media to function. Big tech has long been exposed to being biased and evil. I completely understand why they would ban them. side note. I don’t agree with any banning of any kind. I just find it humorous that the leaders of banning are mad that they are banned. It’s like a thief being offended someone stole from them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
