So when someone gets "moderated", it turns out that then noone can hear them ... including those who wanted to ....
FTFY
See how ridiculous it sounds when we boil down your argument to its essence?
It doesn’t matter the platform; if it is owned by someone else, Trump, or you or I or anyone doesn’t have the right to use that platform without the owners’ permission. Any individual for (almost) any or no reason can have their words removed.
The only real limitation is an owner cannot discriminate against a group--a class—of people based upon specific status. Race, sex, being a veteran, etc.
Too bad Republicans have fought so hard to water down and eliminate class protections. Being LGBTQ+ for example, or atheist, or...conservative(!) are not protected and thus can be discriminated against all the live-long day. Sucks when it is you, huh?
There ARE lots of opportunities for fraud in "Mail In Ballots"....
Don’t give us hypotheticals. Cite any government election where the outcome was changed by documented voter fraud. (Hint: there are exactly zero)
I’d be interested in hearing how Trump was “censored”, as none of the content in his tweet was removed or modified. The only thing that happened was a link was added to the bottom.
This is yet another example of a tempest in a teapot. If Trump’s executive order results in serious damage to 230, then I hope Twitter promptly and permanently enforces their TOS.
Does anyone who isn't an Orange-Cheeto Kool-aid Gulper seriously buy the "it will create jobs" canard?
Honestly, if a company can't "create jobs" without becoming a monopoly/duopoly, then it deserves to die in a fire.
Companies create jobs when they have more work than their current labor can handle and it makes economic sense to do so. It doesn't matter how big or small, or how many tax breaks said company gets.
Even then, I DON'T CARE IF ACME INC DOES OR DOES NOT CREATE JOBS. I'm going to find work somewhere else if I need a job.
That is assuming I did not first break into law enforcement databases a d [sic] erase the warrants for my arrest if I knew there was one

Also, I understand "law enforcement databases" are actually just a single MS Access running on a Dell Inspiron 530 with Windows Vista, so if you just wait, it will erase itself.
At some point the citizens of the world are going to get really pissed.
The citizens of North Korea have been living under an extremely repressive regime for over 60 years. If they aren't willing to revolt under those conditions, do you think a world-wide internet lockdown is going to get people to start burning cars in the street?

Re: Oh Rly?
You might want to contact whatever law school you got your degree from and demand a full refund for fraud.
