Ok, and? I don't care about that. i accept whatever label you want to give me. Who cares? I'm a fake account on a message board.

I would say that you care, because you talk about it all the time

Ok, you're right. I really really care.

Now that this has been completely granted, can we move on? I mean, it doesn't actually change anything. You get that, right?

Maybe no one likes debating you because you suck.

impossible

Mickey wrote:My position on the Twitter ban is that on the one hand it's incredibly troubling to have unaccountable corporations making unilateral decisions on who can participate in what has rapidly become *the* public sphere, but on the other hand it's insanely funny that Trump is spending the last days of his presidency trying to log in to sock puppet accounts so he can keep posting and getting banned over and over, so it's impossible to say whether it's bad or good.

My life experiences and travels took me to places where kneeling for an anthem or being a dick on Twitter will get you killed without trial. That being said, I just don't like Trump so censor away. That's right, I want to be the arbiter of censorship in this country.

The American Civil Liberties Union, too, said the free speech interests involved in suspending Mr. Trump’s Twitter account were complicated.

“We understand the desire to permanently suspend him now, but it should concern everyone when companies like Facebook and Twitter wield the unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions,” said Kate Ruane, an A.C.L.U. lawyer. “President Trump can turn to his press team or Fox News to communicate with the public, but others — like the many Black, brown and L.G.B.T.Q. activists who have been censored by social media companies — will not have that luxury.”

Well that's definitely good.

I still haven't forgiven LinkedIn for banning Alex Jones.

E.H. Ruddock wrote:Yeah the weird thing about Trump trying to access twitter through other accounts is that he's the fucking POTUS. If he wants to get a message out, just hold a press conference.

Were you thinking of employing him?
