President Trump called-out social media platforms for “silencing millions of people” Friday morning; blasting major tech companies for taking down posts and stories published by prominent conservatives.
“Social Media Giants are silencing millions of people. Can’t do this even if it means we must continue to hear Fake News like CNN, whose ratings have suffered gravely. People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!” tweeted Trump.
The Commander-in-Chief’s tough talk comes after Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms moved to clampdown on speech some users may find “offensive” or “inappropriate.”
It’s time to break up the monopoly of the BIG TECH social media companies. As the President said in his tweet we must hear fake news whether we like it or not and the same goes for the left leaning Facebook, Instagram & Twitter who must not infringe on free speech with censorship.
You make zero sense, phone lines represent physical infrastructure that could be managed by smaller local companies on a regional basis, and was a utility that was universally used. There was nothing unique about the infrastructure or services.
Social media has zero relation, it is not physical or universal, and there is no avenue for smaller entities to take their proprietary software. And anyone at any time can develop competition, there are all sorts of new platforms and Facebook itself supplanted Myspace as an example.
