banned, finally...Jeff TavssPosted at 4:31 PM, Jan 08, 2021 and last updated 6:31 PM, Jan 08, 2021 WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has been permanently banned by Twitter after a review by the social media platform feared the risk of further incitement of violence. Trump's account was suspended for 12 hours after Twitter felt the president's posts following the US Capitol insurrection called for more violence. Twitter explained why it had banned Trump on its website Friday. "In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open." www.fox13now.com |

He might well owe the mafia some dough, a few unfulfilled favors (pardons, etc) and possibly some pay-back for jobs done poorly. I'm almost looking forward to hearing the fun news that might pops-up about him after he leaves office. |

Censorship?Can a newspaper refuse to publish letters to the editor that are full of lies and incitements to violence? Am I free to shout 'Fire!" in a crowded theater? |

"Right, but dangerous"Twitter boss: Trump ban is 'right' but 'dangerous' By James Clayton North America technology reporter/BBC Twitter boss Jack Dorsey has said banning US President Donald Trump was the right thing to do. However, he expressed sadness at what he described as the "extraordinary and untenable circumstances" surrounding Mr Trump's permanent suspension. He also said the ban was in part a failure of Twitter's, which hadn't done enough to foster "healthy conversation" across its platforms. Twitter has been praised and criticised for freezing Mr Trump's account. German leader Angela Merkel and Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador - neither an ally of the outgoing US president - spoke out against the tech titan's move. In a long Twitter thread, Twitter's chief said he did not celebrate or feel pride in the ban - which came after the Capitol riot last week. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. He reiterated that removing the president from Twitter was made after "a clear warning" to Mr Trump. "We made a decision with the best information we had based on threats to physical safety both on and off Twitter," Mr Dorsey said. He also accepted that the move would have consequences for an open and free internet. "Having to take these actions fragment the public conversation. They divide us….And sets a precedent I feel is dangerous." He also addressed criticism that just a handful of tech bosses can make decisions on who does and doesn't have a voice on the internet - and on accusations of censorship. "A company making a business decision to moderate itself is different from a government removing access, yet can feel much the same," said Mr Dorsey. The decision to remove users, posts and tweets has been criticised by some for violating First Amendment - free speech - rights. However, big tech firms generally argue that as they are private companies, and not state actors, this law does not apply when they moderate their platforms. Facebook and YouTube have taken steps to silence the president, while Amazon shut down Parler, an app widely used by his supporters. Now Snapchat has also announced that Mr Trump will be permanently banned from its platform too. It had already announced an indefinite suspension, but has now decided that "in the interest of public safety and based on his attempts to spread misinformation, hate speech, and incite violence" to permanently terminate his account. On Monday, the German chancellor's spokesperson said she found the social media ban "problematic". And the Mexican president said: "I don't like anybody being censored." Incoming US President-elect Joe Biden has said he wants companies like Facebook and Twitter to do more to take down hate speech and fake news. He has previously said he wants to repeal Section 230, a law protecting social media companies from being sued for the things people post. It's not clear how Mr Biden intends to regulate Big Tech, though it's likely to be a legislative focus of his. |

"...Feel..." news media and others should perhaps start and ongoing education effort explaining what "freedom of speech" in the first amendment is and isn't. even here, some seem to think it is something it isn't. while what the amendment concerns "seems" obvious, it is is really more subtle and a little difficult to understand without making an effort to do so. not hard to understand. but somewhat easy to misunderstand, perhaps. you can still have something similar here or elsewhere of course (twitter, some forum, or wherever). but that amendment has specific limits and exclusions. it may be better that people don't get upset over a misunderstanding. people may change the channel or stop listening. so, it needs to be done cleverly. maybe short, dense, and frequently repeated is the way to go, conveying clear info quickly so that people aren't put off but still get a better understanding of the issue. |

z...I, too, want to believe newscasts, political commentaries, and general public assessments as being honest (for the most part) and forthcoming. I feel intellectually wounded as I watch this part of the world evolve into information management, well-paid propaganda, and calculated persuasion techniques. The average person will succumb to many such untoward stimuli. |

Speaker of the HouseHer response?... "We don't negotiate with terrorists." |

TruthLies have no evidence. One way to recognize. Lie is any statement simply repeated again and again absent physical support. We know Trump to be a liar because when asked for evidence he simply repeats the lie. "Well that escalated steadily for four years.". Salient comment on Trump's Beer House Putsch. |
