Just went on Facebook and the post I shared on this thread (Post #43) has been 'fact checked' and I have been warned that the person that is credited with writing it isn't actually the author. That of course invalidates the value and truth of it's contents according to the 'Social Media' Gestapo and they hope that you will see their 'fact checked' banner and not read the text which, of course is the all important part. Of course it's not because it's the truth and they don't want it to spread eh?

With reference to the post by @half ton

Rowan Atkinson very articulately describes the problem of free speech and the right to insult/offend. However our fucking establishment seem to be hell bent on silencing dissent.

I saw this article on the BBC which started:
Bans imposed by Twitter, Facebook and Instagram on Donald Trump's accounts raise a "very big question" about how social media is regulated, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55609903

I foolishly thought it was going to be criticising the social media giants for their censorship and banning of the President of the United States... but no, it is Tw@t Hancock getting totally wrong again supporting their bans and wanting to increase legislation and censorship WTF!! :mad:

their platform, their rules


if he is so business savvy, would have launched his own platform

My guess is that he or someone else will, but the new US administration will make it very difficult, they will attempt to shut down any platform that allows any dissenting opinion.

The social media platforms get certain protection under the law currently because they are not classified as publishers, by censoring and editing they are acting as publishers, and they are specifically censoring with a political bias. FFS they don't ban the ayatollah of iran! They didn't ban anyone supporting the BLM protests in the US in which multiple people were killed, and many beaten.

Then they are also acting in collusion with each other, one platform (e.g. Facebook) bans someone and then another (e.g. YouTube) bans them also.

Apple and Google currently provide the two main App stores, and pretty much have a monopoly. YouTube, Twitter and Facebook start to ban people based on political bias, consequently those banned people and their followers move to another platform (e.g. Parlour), so the big tech providers remove the alternative apps from their app stores.

It is reminiscent of book burning in the 1930's

Mr Trump may be due to leave soon but it certainly is going to leave a nasty taste in many Americans mouths, enough to make you spit some of the media portrayal of events,
"what for the future"
will Biden see a full term and reach a natural death,
will Biden get a lead pill from some disgruntled Red neck Trumpee supporter,
will Trump states continue to feel hard done by and his supporters continue the fight,
or
will it all blow over in a short while and harmony resume over the land

Interesting times is it not.

I'd be surprised if Biden, lasted a year.

I can't see it blowing over, even if people could get over the electorial abnomalies and potential steal. My guess is that the left will vindictively go after those on the republican/right side that they feel are a threat to them or have dared to get in their way, and they will also go after organisations like the NRA. The democrats will introduce more authoritarian legislation infringing on personal liberty. The economic policies they will introduce will benefit the elites at the expense of the general population.
I think for many after the inital euphoria of ousting Trump wears off, they will have severe voting regret, when they realise just how worse off they are, and what lunatics they have allowed to take over the asylum.

My landlady sent me this a few nights back I think it was...
I'm guessing some of our conversations she actually took note..

I will say I have serious reservations about what the bloke is actually claiming...when it comes to Trump presidency being pre planned as part of a military operation to weed out conspirators and traitors of America and the global community as a whole I should say...
