Twitter censorship out of control

Post by bmw » Sun Oct 11, 2020 3:03 pm

This tweet from Trump a few hours ago:
A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and can’t give it. Very nice to know!!!
Twitter's response:
This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... 1243476997

I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. What is "harmful" or "misleading" about Trump saying that his White House Doctors told him he's immune and can't give it to others?

More likely than not, Trump IS immune and CAN NOT pass it on others. Twitter has anointed themselves the determiners of truth.

Because we don’t know that he can’t give it for one thing and for a second we don’t know that he’s immune and neither does he. His health information has always been fudged to make him look better than he is. He’s about to resume his rally schedule and potentially put folks at risk. He’s wreckless.

I've never been censored by Titter.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

So NOT KNOWING whether a statement is true or not is sufficient for censorship?

There's all kinds of things we "don't know" with certainty about Covid. Should that all be censored as well?

I'm sorry...but this just reeks of biased censorship.

It's a private business. I thought you guys supported corps doing as they see fit, no?
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.

Did BMW ask for a government solution?

No. Democrats do that best.

I am not supporting an administration that likes to stifle free speech. That would be you.

Trump has done a lot of verbal bashing, but nothing like what Obama did to journalists. Again Democrats do it best!

Obama never tried to silence news outlets he didn't like. Trump has said he would in a 2nd term, and you best believe he would.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

He’s using his bully pulpit to declare that all is well when it isn’t. That’s a fucking problem. He’s declaring himself immune but they won’t disclose his test results. He and his doctors are NOT being honest about this but he’s going to be crushed in 3 weeks and the Republicans are desperate like nobody has ever been before.

Also Twitter can censor whatever they want. If you had an account and the only option for a profile picture option was a deformed penis... guess what your profile picture option is? Can you or anyone do jack about it? No.

In a second term with a 6-3 court he’ll do whatever he wants.

I would love to know what’s behind the link but yeah if there’s personal information behind door number one then Twitter got it right.

Tax returns arent private information? Certain leaked tax returns were all over Twitter.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
