The behavior of twitter and the other big tech companies is obvious: they ban conservatives and generally those who support capitalism in the west (currently committing a purge on their platforms) and banned recently those who protest oppression and are seeking for freedom in China. That behavior allows the conclusion that there is probably a worldwide conspiracy among all leftists/socialists/communists (Am. ‘liberals’, ‘progressives’), aiming to materialize Karl Marx’s old dream - the international socialist.
Twitter apologized few days later for banning those who remembered Tiananmen, but thats more like a murder who apologize after killing you. They banned initially plenty of accounts, we cant talk anymore about an accidental mistake.
I started that thread much rather with the aim that the host of that site or somebody else from Fox News will address this issue, which is imo a big problem. Big Tech companies which has arisen in the western capitalist system and control now the public space on internet ally with China, the biggest threat for the west, committing treason on that way. They are forming opinions and even meddling into elections. The question is, should they still be allowed to run their platforms in the west, while its obviously they dont advocate free speech, but try impose their own policy worldwide?
you pick your facebook friends and Ben Shapiro to make a point but thats just like someone in a war region would claim their neighbors and a celebrity they know are safe, so that would be proof there isnt any war
No, zeitgeist. This isn’t about banning cons and those who support capitalism. It’s about the realigning of world markets as the tariff war forces people to make choices. This is the unintended consequence on Fat Donnie’s ill conceived trade war.
One thing about the Silicon Valley firms is that they are led by some of our smartest people. They see how Trump and his team are destroying US political and economic leadership in the world and clearing the way for China to emerge as the global economic leader. We are isolating ourselves from our allies, allying with ludicrous regimes like North Korea, sowing chaos on matters like Brexit.
They are backing the winner; which is what smart money does. Do you have problem with that?
Trump was elected and he has the authority to undermine American greatness but you cannot expect everyone with money at stake to fall in line behind that.
It’s interesting that liberals are defending these big tech firms, they are routinely dragged in front of congress each year on how they go out of there way to dodge paying taxes, and they have np with the majority of their workforce being from China and India either working from overseas or on an H1-B visa. The left talks about diversity in the workplace, while some of these companies sport the least diverse workforces around pushing 70-80% workers from India.
Five years ago these companies would have been basically Satan to the left for there tax avoiding, outsourcing/insourcing, and long working hour environments. But I guess since they lean left, at least in social media it’s ok.
Opposed to those on the right who were complaining about tax avoiding, outsourcing/insourcing, and long working hour environments only 2 1/2 years ago while simultaneously nominating the poster boy of those practices
Looks like the liberals are OK with twitter banning Chinese accounts which remembered the victims of Tiananmen, doing on that way the favor to the rogue regime which killed that innocent civilians 30yrs ago.
For me nothing surprising, as I label anyway the liberals/leftists “stalinists” and my point is proven right on that way by their behavior and the warning bell about the worldwide socialist conspiracy. That crowds would be OK very probably with putting literally everyone else in gulags, so far they advocate the virtual purge of Big Tech and why that has to be addressed (!) Their regular attacks on Trump supporters, MAGA hats, people from Trump admin, etc, etc, on internet and in real life expose already the criminal mindset of that people.
My question is, so far we havent allowed the Soviets to take over during the cold war, fighting them for 40-50 yrs, why would we stand by, allowing home grown socialists to take over, who are at least as dangerous as the Soviets had been?
I totally disagree with your twisted view regarding that matter. Actually, we lose and China is the winner if we follow the treasonous policy of the left and the Big Tech is doing a big favor to China. I dont care about the political views of that allegedly smart people running that companies. They dont have to impose anyone their policy, unless they run for office and win the election. Until then, they are undermining democracy and civil rights with their behavior, putting in danger USA and the entire west. You have to be joking claiming Trump would undermine American greatness. Probably “Am greatness” means for you to surrender to China and everyone else in the world who wants to take advantage, benefiting from the west (obamas policy)
Oh yes, I have! So far they act against us, their asses should be kicked to China, N Korea or whomever are they loyal. Their platforms should be banned in the western world. Lets see how much money would they make then…
Then they have to remain private and do not involve in politics making use of the monopoly they have established with their platforms. They hijacked the public space on internet last 10-15 yrs, that isnt private anymore
