Can somebody tell me exactly what President Trump supposedly said that was so egregious?  I don’t mean what you may think he meant, what exactly did he say?
Listen to the first 10 seconds of the video.......


I hear the words "peacefully and patriotically".
If there had been no melee...there could have been no claim about one.
Just more fuss and hate from the opposition.
...I have no problem whatsoever with the removal of Trump from social media platforms. ....--- Among Trump's base are some very deplorable people. White supremacists, Christian Nationalists,  ...where Trump supporters gather to be indoctrinated in the latest bullshit rumors that do nothing but make them angrier and angrier and dumber and dumber as we've seen here on the forum.
Well, listen to you. Do you you have a problem with Christians? Hey..what if you were removed from the internet? Just like that? How would you feel? Seems like you are the angry one. And just who do you think is dumb on this forum? Tread lightly...you don't have the comrades on this forum that you do on the other one. I don't usually post here but noticed that your pal msnob is "sacrochet" ----------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

While the US might be the leader in terms of censorship the rest of the 'Free World' is not far behind, not least because it is USAian companies that are the gatekeepers to mass social media and communication.

What an odd paradox it will be when we use Chinese and Russian social media for free speech. Of course, when that happens these outlets will be blocked from the Internet in the USA and other countries by a Great Wall.

In the other thread in the video Loyalman posted, the guy giving the speech said Facebook and twitter were inventions of the CIA. If that is true, then I'm sure Russian and Chinese intelligence know that too. Social media is a great place to list everything about oneself so less work for intelligence agencies when it comes to information gathering.

If you want to stop the war in Ukraine, fix elections, stop medical tyranny and forced vaccinations, lower inflation and make America and the world a better place, get Trump back into power. The Democrats and Republicans have shown they can't do the job. They are good at robbing us and getting people killed in non stop wars.

Did you guys know that Democrats called for immediate investigations after the 'Storming of the Capitol' and there were arrests right away yet after 2 months, they refuse to cooperate with an election fraud investigation? They won't let anybody inspect the voting machines and they continue to shred ballots?

Billy, it might be that facebook or twitter were set up by intelligence agencies. But i doubt it.
To be honest, it does not matter to me.

However, it is counterproductive for social media to ban people if social media is controlled by intelligence agencies  It removes objects of surveillance, and not just those who are banned,  from observation. Not sensible.

So, if these outlets were initiated by intelligence agencies then they are almost certainly not controlled by them now.

When we use open(ish) media to communicate only an idiot would think their communication was private thus any surveillance is irrelevant to most people. Of course there are plenty of idiots whose idiocy leads to surprises.

No, the censorship we are seeing comes from people who want to control what we say or think.

Intelligence agencies don't care what we say or think. Intelligence agencies just want to be able to hear, record, and analyse what we say. Open and free communication serves their needs better than censorship.

I would not believe it either but after doing some digging for people in the know, the CEO of overstock Patrick Byrne who slept with Russian spy Maria Butina because the FBI asked him to gather info also cooperated with them to offer Hillary an 18 million dollar bribe before the election. She accepted although the bribe wasn't real and Obama was going to use that to control her when she became President. At first Patrick thought he was doing good for his country until he realize the people asking him to do stuff were corrupt. He didn't needed to be bribed to help his country but they did tell him "We make billionaires"

The intelligence agencies don't control big tech. Its the people in charge in control of the intelligence agencies that controls big tech. Notice how big tech all censored Trump and millions of followers at the same time under the disguise those people are violent based off setting them up when allowing them to enter the Capitol?

Twitter CEO secretly recorded saying he's going after much more people than Trump.

I want to add  the CEO of overstock Patrick Byrne who slept with Russian spy Maria Butina believed the FBI allowed Maria Butina to hang around too long before arresting her. He suspects the FBI wanted her to compromise as many people as possible so they'd gather dirt on businessmen and politicians which they or the bosses they answer to can control. One boss was Obama.

Facebook now trying to bully a country, Australia in this case. From the BBC:

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said his government will not be intimidated by Facebook blocking news feeds to users.

He described the move to "unfriend Australia" as arrogant and disappointing.

Facebook is responding to a proposed law which would make tech giants pay for news content on their platforms.

It says the legislation "fundamentally misunderstands" the relationship between the platform and publishers.

Australians on Thursday woke up to find that Facebook pages of all local and global news sites were unavailable. People outside the country are also unable to read or access any Australian news publications on the platform.

Several government health and emergency pages were also blocked. Facebook later asserted this was a mistake and many of these pages are now back online.

Both Google and Facebook have fought the law, saying it unfairly "penalises" their platforms.

However, in contrast to Facebook, Google has in recent days signed payment deals with major Australian media outlets. Facebook's action came hours after Google agreed to pay Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for content from news sites across its media empire.

What is the response to the ban?

In a statement posted on Facebook, Mr Morrison said that big tech companies might be changing the world but this did not mean they should run it.

"Facebook's actions to unfriend Australia today, cutting off essential information services on health and emergency services, were as arrogant as they were disappointing," he said.

Australia vs tech firms: What’s this row about?

News publishers fight tech giants for better deals
"I am in regular contact with the leaders of other nations on these issues. We simply won't be intimidated," he added.

Mr Morrison urged Facebook to work constructively with the government, "as Google recently demonstrated in good faith".

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the ban on news information had a "huge community impact". About 17 million Australians visit the social media site every month.

Consumption of digital news through social media and search engines is growing in Australia, according to the Reuters Digital News Report for 2020.

Some 37% of consumers who took part said they had gained access to news via social media over the course of a week, compared with 31% who had directly accessed websites or apps, the report said.

Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan accused Facebook of "behaving like a North Korean dictator".

Facebook is trying to control speech and influence who gets elected. I once read they were started by the CIA. A place where people freely post everything about themselves and a place the CIA can collect data. Now Facebook is controlling which politicians look good or bad by controlling speech and news.

Have you noticed some series on Netflix especially the period dramas now have coloureds every where.. as fas as I was aware from History back in the 17/18th Century the only coloureds were either slaves or street cleaners or servants.. But it seems Noooooooo they were also part of the aristocracy .. yes they also has mansions in London.. went shopping in Gucci and Armani had stables with horses ..in fact about 50% of the population was coloured  ???

I remember when Giuliani hired a bunch of law firms to investigate fraud and employees there were doxed. Their and their families lives were threatened so many law firms quit. Those weak attorneys who buckled under pressure should be safe from getting a knock on the door from the Feds. If I go missing for a few days, it may be because the Feds hauled me away. I donated money for investigations into election fraud. Hope Putin speaks up and lets America know it's bad for our reputation to go after political enemies.

I am going to write a very simple letter to Simon and Shuster and ask them to reconsider their decision.

Censorship should not have any place in the USA. Even though it's already bad, it will get worse if more Conservatives do not speak up. So speak up folks!
