Eh, its what Turmp is likely hoping for as it'll give him martyr status for why he had to create his own personal government propaganda media organization, complete with "Turmper" as an alternative to Twitter.

Obviously not enough but they are afraid of retaliation from Trump and his admin. I don’t use Twitter but as far as advertisers I don’t believe it’s like TV where you can pick out a big company and boycott them.

No you can, sort of like Face Book where there are ads and boosted posts. I don't know much about twitter but I do know you can buy ads on it.

Donnie apparently doesn't understand how the Citizens United ruling works. As an American company, Twitter has the right to say what they want & to influence the election as they see fit.

Isn’t this the same piece of shit that complained like two days ago that Fox wasn’t doing enough to help republican candidates?

Can we get a resident Trump supporter to trumpslain to us why the President has free speech but private companies, like Twitter, and private citizens, like Scarborough, don't?

I agree that it is not based in any facts at all and the tweets are wrong. That is one thing I do wish is that the tweets would just stop. It's all bullshit. Also nobody should base their own personal happiness on a Tweet. If they completely abolished Twitter it would be no loss in my opinion.

No they don't. Some of us care. @pcgeek11 and @Lanyap don't give a fuck.

I don't give an F about Joe Scarborough or anything he did 20 years ago.
Your reading comprehension sucks as always...

Somewhat ironic that you're posting that in this thread since apparently Twitter won't factually slap down Turmp's claim about Scarborough.
Twitter employees 'very unhappy' the platform won't correct Trump falsehoods about Scarborough and staff member
Twitter employees are outraged by the company’s refusal to stop President Trump from using the platform to promote a conspiracy theory involving Joe Scarborough and a former staffer, according to tech journalist Kara Swisher.

"Horrifying lies": Widower pleads with Twitter to delete Trump's false tweets about his wife's death. But Twitter refused.
Widower Timothy Klausutis said the baseless conspiracy theory about Joe Scarborough and his wife's death, pushed by President Trump, has left him "frustrated and grieved."

I wonder how quickly they'd take it down if you started spreading claims that Dorsey murdered Epstein.

That's a pretty damning bit of self-ownage and indictment of his intended audience. If only you had the personal insight to fully realise it yourself.

Nice try altering history. The quote is
Clearly it effects the family what happened 20 years ago. Your attempt to excuse Trump because of the method of his delivery (Twitter). Twenty years ago he would have taken out a full page newspaper ad and spewed the same vitriol. But I guess that would have made it fine.
It's not about Twitter, it what was said. But it's only words right? Doesn't matter Trump sullies the memory of that family?
100,000 people dead doesn't matter either as long as you get your judges.
Anyone want to make the case as to why Trump shouldn’t be removed from office due to clear mental illness?

IMO, they should treat trump like anyone else, remove the post and ban him for repeated violations of the TOS
This is the mistake that Twitter made - as soon as they decided their neutral terms of service no longer applied to him they invited exactly these sort of controversies.
They should have just banned him to begin with and been done with it.

Honestly I think it would be better & simpler if twitter simply said "No PACs, no Politicians, no re-election committees and no Political groups on twitter". Delete all the Politician accounts and snip new groups that pop up. Politicians could have a twatter account provided it is for personal/family use only.
Twitter takes a ton of crap for this stuff and as far as I can tell they don't really make any money from it.

His mental state seems to be decaying exponentially with his polling figures.
"Morning Joe might be a murderer" isn't exactly a resonating campaign message but it's the one he's picked.
They would never risk that loss of views. Twitter is an advertising vehicle, so anything that gets more views is a good thing.
It's amazing how much we have normalized Trump's clear mental illness. A hundred thousand Americans are dead with the likely total far higher than that and the president is golfing and tweeting murder conspiracy theories and actively harming the effort to fight the crisis. Imagine saying that only a few years ago. To conservatives competence no longer matters. Mental stability no longer matters. It is all in on whatever it takes to make sure liberals aren't in power, even if that means mass death.
Trump isn't the only mentally ill person here, conservatism has become a mental disorder.
