Gab. Truth social. Parler.
Many alternatives. Stop playing victim.

Rep Greene claims that the suspension was for posting information form an official HHS website. The one that is clear is that twitter is monitoring the communications of members accounts and is exercising publisher editorial power over these communications. Now section 302 treats these social media companies as if they were telephone companies. It exempts them of the libel and slander laws that apply to publishers and media producers. Why the exemption? Because these social media companies claim they are only providing the hardware infrastructure, not controlling the content, the messages published on the site.
Deciding what is true, or not true, and what will and won’t be published, on a topic is publisher editorial authority. Not arguing to prevent them from doing this, just don’t think they should be exempt from liability when they do.

It’s simple she should tell the truth…not what she wants it to be.
This is a popular, but very incorrect understanding about the purpose and function of Section 230.
Section 230 existed long before “social media” as we know it existed. No social media companies have made any claims that they are only providing infrastructure in order to get Section 230 protections.
Some of the right wing dialogue is fueled by misinformation and conspiracy. Stolen elections, vaccine conspiracies, Q Anon, et al.
But also, consider this …
Right-wing social media influencers, conservative media outlets and other GOP supporters dominate online discussions around two of the election’s hottest issues, the Black Lives Matter movement and voter fraud, according to the review of Facebook posts, Instagram feeds, Twitter messages and conversations on two popular message boards. And their lead isn’t close.

Meanwhile, terrorists still roam free on Twitter. They make great bed fellows, huh?

It’s not the inflammatory rhetoric that is the problem, it’s the vaccine misinformation.

Nicki Minaj’s tweet linking the vaccine to swollen testicles and impotence remains, as does her account.

Was that her tweet or her twerk that did that?

Twitter suspended a personal account for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after “repeated violations” of the Covid-19 misinformation policy, the company said Sunday
Her congressional account is still active.

I wonder what happens if she continues this on her official account?
Will they disable that account too, or just remove the problem tweets?
Yes, we have a state-controlled media. The state, of course, refers the intel agencies, their contractors, and their allies.
The party line from Democrats is that if you don’t like the arbitrary bans and censorship from Twitter, start your own platform. The reality is that state-supported monopolies are able to deny internet access to platforms that are viewed as critical of the state.
If you doubt this situation consider the letter from 50 former intel officials that effectively created a gag order on the Biden laptop story shortly before the 2020 election. In response to a massive censorship on twitter, the Parler quickly became the most popular app, but was shut down by a denial of service coordinated by the Big Tech monopolies after pressure from Democrats in congress.

IIRC, when Trump** had his personal account suspended the POTUS account was left active. Trump** moved his BS over to the POTUS account and then it was suspended also. The official POTUS account was then reinstated after Trump** left office.
Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong.

It’s like Greenwald is leaving out part of the story or something.
What happened to that guy?
He used to be a good journalist.
