I believe the requirement is that if any of their moderators becomes the least bit offended, it is banned and the account could be suspended. That certainly seems like it should be fair and consistently enforced.

Of course, it is completely different and I completely agree with you but my point is that monitoring these sites is not easy. So pointing out an example where someone's post was flagged or not flagged is really not the point. The point is that promoting violence or a coup d'etat on a social media site should not be allowed and should be flagged or removed.
I'm really surprised that we have such an abundance of anarchists and insurrectionists populating social media. One would think that the FBI would be happy to have them all in one place, so monitoring them would be easier.
I'd really love to see what an acceptable moderation plan would look like...LOL
Does the Chinese embassy or Ayotallah have 80 million followers in the US? Do they hold the highest position in our government?
Ironically funny. Conservative Purdue allows Bill Ayres to speak on campus, yet one of the bastions of Freedom of Speech, UC Berkeley boycotted Ben Shapiro. Holy hypocrisy...LOL
No it’s more like a grocery store deciding only to stock like 2% of things. Please give me readily available commercial alternatives to Apple, Google or Twitter.
I......guess you weren't alive in the sixties........nor do you know the definition of coup or sedition.
Social protests are as old as this country. Citizens forcefully attacking and occupying the heart of our democracy is not.
Oh Sean. We heard about Benghazi for four years but you found another shiny object to show to your lemmings.
Why can’t some on here distinguish between some of us thinking a handful of the most powerful CEO’s ever deciding what’s good and not good for us is a really slippery slope and that somehow it means we were supportive of what happened this week. That’s just absurd.
IMHO all of the crazy folks that have done violence all year and particularly this week should have been dealt with much more harshly.
It would also be interesting to know folks’ view on this broken down by age. I have a theory as to why that might break the way I suspect it would.
You didn't mention Amazon??? I try as much as possible to shop at local stores and find that is it really not hard to avoid Amazon. I am not on Twitter and barely know what it is. I also don't use Facebook. So I guess I am not the right person to ask.
Hannity is highest paid host on all of TV for a reason. He’s worth it.
Thought this might be useful to this thread: https://www.nbc12.com/2021/01/09/fi...ys-trumps-social-media-ban-is-constitutional/
All this has been known for some time and yet? Anyone with an eye to see and an ear to hear has to be aware of the many conflicting standards. This isn't news. Problem is people get seat time in "something" and then are assumed educated or stay in academia and think they understand the vast majority of things outside their narrow expertise by which the very nature may be debatable. Still, people refer to those people as knowledgeable unaware of the many pitfalls they are oblivious to in their little bubble and understanding they have sheltered from reality. Voters are like parents boarding a plane in that they go up the ramp and turn to the right and take their seats believing the pilot has their best interest and taking them where they want to go only to find out they ended up in Sudan instead of Florida. Worse yet...words....irrelevant words get the same weight as policy, and we are too stupid to know the difference. I'm not advocating being crass at all and generally try to stay away from that...especially if I don't know the audience (but spent a few hours learning how to run the table shooting one handed). I certainly understand not appreciating it and even hating it, but this country has serious issues and I can't find anything that indicates people are getting smarter and filling their minds with substance. Consequently, what should we expect? Why be surprised?
I mention many times the many politicians that have grown a LOT of wealth while in the office selling out the country and people for their personal gain...something that should be a concern to all, but instead it is crickets as "feelings" take over thought...so much that you hear all the time...I feel this or I feel that, totally confused to the difference between thought and feelings, relegating humanity to just another animal, absent cognitive thought even at the lowest levels.
We and our reluctance to understand so much that affects our understanding of society are to blame. Instead we don't seek things of substance but assume a link or magazine article is the same. When there is a disagreement....the links come out from what we already know is biased and also shows the needs to express another person's comments. There is no sorting mechanism of substance, just those things that may be offensive...typically on one side of the aisle...and anyone with a computer can type what they want. I catch a few things on twitter and read a bit more and then I'm more depressed in what I see...we are dumber than I thought and there are a lot of them out there...in some cases with seat time in college. The more provocative the more likes and followers. I don't know whether it is natural or not, but the older I get the more I appreciate some alone time from people and the opinions generated by contemplating their navels.
Just to clarify, Hannity is 8th highest overall, but is the highest "News" host.
NBC reporting what the thoughts of a Constitutional Law Prof on the issue is hardly proof the media is unfair.
I agree that this week went too far...but, the smaller fires this summer should have been adequately dealt with as well.
I guess MSM failed to adequately cover them

I’ll await your retort. This should be interesting.
The policies of lying, narcissism, and authoritarianism.
Those personal "policies" led him to refuse to accept his loss in the election and triggered the events of 1/6.
This is the direct result of Americans ignoring the character and judgement of people they vote for. Just vote for the letter and give me a tax cut.
Ah, yeah you're right. This is totally comparable to what happened at the Capitol. FWIW, you said it had been happening for 4 years in cities all across America. Seems like a bit of an exaggeration if this is your only evidence.

I know...can’t believe how those riots over the summer were defended and people actually sympathized with them.
Such a superbly articulated and rationalized argument...
Who knew they all wore red hats and posted with #MAGA
Still waiting for the examples of the conservative voices that are being unfairly censored on Twitter or FB.
Right? Burning a target is exactly the same as the president calling for a coup and his dumb supporters trying to enact it. Not a false equivalency at all.
I didn’t see where he called for a coup...sorry, I must have missed that part.
I said nothing about the Parler topic. Nothing. Also said nothing about anyone being supportive of the DC riot.
This is an example of your seeing attacks that just aren't there.
My point was those trying to equate the attack on the Capitol with protests for civil rights or workers rights, which have happened since the beginning of our country, either know nothing of history or don't appreciate the gravity of the 1/6 attack on our democracy.
My point was I don’t believe he is. “TMan92”, do you have a source? I’m thinking it is a bunch of crap.
No you didn't, just ashamed of it now. But I really did miss Biden telling his supporters to storm the legislative branch. Can you link me a video?
That wasn't what TMan said. What he said was "Wood has also been calling for the arrest of John Roberts and called him a pedophile" and Sophie1970 hopefully showed a lack of reading ability as opposed to having simply lied about it.
Sophie has been trolling pretty hard throughout this thread. I would take what she says with a grain of salt.
I recognize that, but I since happened to have remembered the post it was easy to find and quote, and thought it a decent place for a review of how people ought view Sophie sourcing things.
I missed it too. Do you have a reference?
Here is one I found, although the publication is not trustworthy. This particular writer, however, seems to have a good understanding of the meaning of coup - so I encourage you to read it.
It Wasn’t Strictly a Coup Attempt. But It’s Not Over, Either. (Published 2021)
Experts say recent actions by President Trump and his loyalists are harder to stop than a coup — citing anti-democratic slides in Turkey and Venezuela as closer examples.
