Yeah I don’t feel like a content company pulling the content created by an account that slanders the parents of murdered children is much of a slippery slope situation

Given that these companies already develop censorship tools for China, I'd say we are already well on our way down the slope.

Censorship is one conversation to have, but the last few years have demonstrated with particular clarity how impossible it is to prevent misinformation campaigns and purposeful, destructive interference under our current system. You can’t fix American democracy if you can’t find a way back to having an informed public whose primary self-selected information source is, at least, factually honest.

It's ok for Facebook to source our financial data from banks, but not ok for some guy to spout his fantasy garbage? Zuckerburg is the real devil.
I kind of love Alex Jones, he's a bizarrely successful performance artist.

NBC’s Julia Ainsley has obtained an internal Trump administration document laying out a plan to deny citizenship to legal immigrants. The mastermind of the new policy is Stephen Miller, a radical who has gained almost total control of the administration’s immigration agenda. Under the forthcoming plan, any legal immigrants who have ever used (or whose household contains people who have ever used) children’s health insurance (CHIP), Obamacare, supplemental nutrition assistance, or other social benefits could be denied legal status.

Since the 19th century, immigration policy has discriminated against migrants who might become a “public charge.” But Trump plans to expand the definition of the term to include basic benefits for the working class, like health insurance.

Man, if anyone ever deserved to die slowly, painfully, and alone, it's Stephen Miller.
