I'm no longer on any social media apps. Too much trash and not enough laughs.
All sites have terms of service which allows the site to do whatever they want with the content created by its subscribers. There is no free speech on internet apps. Only speech that complies with TOS or does not. Nobody is taking away freedumbs.

Quote:“Well, you know what they supposedly said? She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian,” she told the reporter. When the profile writer clarified that she is of both Black and South Asian heritage, Jackson answered, “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told they discovered her father was white.”
How stunningly stupid.

Her father was 'white' in the sense that his three time paternal grandfather was Itish and owned one of his great, great grandparents.

There is no sense in which this is a ‘white’ man:

They want to stop the spread of "misinformation," with the government of course deciding what misinformation is.
I know Orange Man Bad and all that, but we should be aware of what the other team is offering.
Yeah, I don't mind them going after Chinese and Russian bot presences, considering what those have tied doing with our elections and society at large. I assume that stuff doesn't bother you.
This is how the Democrats became the pro-fascist party. You will happily give up your civil rights out of fear of imaginary bots. THEY'RE UNDER YOUR BED!!!

I'm fine with everyone having the right to free speech. I'm not fine with bots having the freedom to tamper with our democratic process. Assuming one is the same as the other is childishly silly, because those bots are not "imaginary", nor do they have any rights, because -- wait for it -- bots aren't people.
Look at it this way: I want those bots shut down, even as I support your right to continue fellating dictators who want to bring us down.
It's sad you seem to need this explained to you.

Pro-fascist? They started to support trump when no one was watching?
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Thinking out loud here...are any of the Trumpophiles looking at the fact that if he drops dead of a hamburger heart attack, we would be stuck with JD Vance as president?
Like Trump wasn't embarrassing enough as a president...do we really want that douchebag?

I like that you think the Trumpophiles have a sense of shame.
