He needs to just declare a national security emergency and seize Facebook and Twitter. Let the military moderate. He would be 100% right to do so and may prevent a civil war. We have 2 versions of facts right now and everyone in the country needs to be on the same page the next two weeks. We can work on section 230 later

I bet you could raise substantial money by raffling tickets off to be in the firing squad.

Section 230 should not exist for any company that averages over X-million views by American each day.

That fixes the issue of small sites being impacted and fucks the large scale censorship machines.

*I don't know what the real number should be to achieve the desired results. Any marketing guys here have an idea?

Nah, give those bastards the chair and the irony that they're killed by what makes their companies work.

It’s been done before in times of war. Hollywood was controlled by the military during the ww2

This is in no way low energy but why didn't he do this, say, last year? We would not be in this mess now.

He must have had at least some level of awareness that his supporters were all being silenced, in preparation for what was to come.

Dictator vibes.

Trump is like Lawful Good and the way Lawful Good beats Neutral Evil is by waiting for the latter to break some obvious laws and then going for justice.

The moderates that you still need for elections would see you as a dictator which isn’t a good look, especially when the people you’re taking over just got done calling you a dictator. Trust me, I practically jerk off to the idea of the military walking in and either arresting or shooting these fuckers on site. But unfortunately it will probably remain a fantasy.

President Trump is a high-roller. He takes great risks, to go after great rewards.

If he had, in any way, messed with social or mainstream media, they would've skewered him before the point was made: "See? He is a tyrant/dictator!!" By allowing many multiple conservatives and non-conservatives, and even established news organizations like the NY Post to be squelched or banned, it makes the point directly obvious to The People that they're *ALL *shills for the Left. In essence, like for the 9000th time, President Trump psychs the Left into do his bidding for him.

Scorched Earth. They are trying to actively steal an election, not just put out or disseminate fake news.

If he did it last year, there would have been tons of pushback from NPCs, soft headed libertarians, ect. Now that their mask has totally fallen off and everyone can see these companies for what they always really were, there will be way more support for a measure like that.

Were they controlled by force or by choice?

They are already being controlled by the CIA. What's the difference?

Really? How do you think the founding fathers would feel about a standing military controlling what amounts to the press?

YoLLamaIsSoFat -1 points ago +1 / -2

Most probably wouldn't mind, they hated the press with as much vitriol or more.

FirstFlamingo 5 points ago +5 / -0

They hated standing militaries and specifically enshrined freedom of the press in the bill of rights. But you think they wouldn't mind?

He already did, i. The EO signed in 2018, this election is a state of emergency

Military moderation doesn’t get rid of the problem though. They shouldn’t be moderating at all unless it’s maybe death or adult content. Ultimately people need to quit using these dumb services though. Everyone get your damn families off of these dumb ass services. - Signed all of us

Yes the only reason to have military moderating is to take down illegal content. Someone has to do that job. It would also only be temporary through January 20
