I know, old EO, but now its happening cause of that net neutrality guy, remember Ajit Pai?
Well, how about them apples... we all know what its about, twitter censoring his most crazy and dangerous shit and stopping Russian meddling... Here comes :
The move follows a whirlwind moderation debate from Republicans

4 more years and social media will be an extended arm of Rupert Murdochs State TV operation. Fox Book.
I think you are well and duly fucked.
Yeah well, this is no surprise & it's not like no one saw it coming despite it all conflicting with freedom of speech and or right to free press. The danger of stretching even freedom of speech too far was now everything will be considered within the confines of hate speech to the GOP because America is a haven for people who don't know the meaning of the actual word moderation now, the real meaning of the word.
"
the avoidance of excess or extremes, especially in one's behavior or political opinions." - That does not sound like the GOP to me.
Good luck trying to regulate the Internet & attempting to flesh out the precursor to the Handmaid's Tale in real life, I'm sure that'll work out just great in a nation with a 2nd Amendment & people that misinterpret it all the time. I hate these platitudes. What made our nation great in theory was live and let live; what made it terrible in reality was the opposite.
You need simply not be white to get that. EDIT: If you aren't white, there's a good chance you've understood that firsthand otherwise the chance seems less so and reliant upon one's ego or lack thereof. Does that make America bad? Nope. Just in denial and very forgetful at times.
Ajit Pai is a class traitor. The man makes my stomach turn. I was working in a NOC for a major telecom at the time when he transitioned and no one liked it. We understood it sure but even our business leaders knew it would lead to more problems than economic profits as we explained the cluster***** of issues it would cause and no one needs unnecessary controversy unless of course, you're a con man. A con man from Queens ... the rest is history.
EDIT: I think there's a chance some of this will be reversed. Trump & his administration have caused much humiliation and grief throughout the last 4 years in the private and public sectors. There's been a lot of avoidable damage to various companies and individuals. Former friends of the President as well as cabinet members and while I believe for the sake of saving face they've stayed quiet far as denouncing him they harbor resentment. The stock market fell the lowest since the
great depression.
With the release of Bob Woodward's information, it just confirms worst fears. Eroding on the possibility many may have considered that COVID caused all of this - not when there's now proof that a special few investors were told, no one else was - nor nothing else done. That is bad optics. Politics aside, that isn't good optics, it's just plain idiocracy. It's almost like giving away information to certain traders at an advantage. Wait - I guess it is that. Hmmph.
