Got no witty comments....I'm just bone tired of these commies stealing all my oxygen

Social Media's dominance of american life has become an Intolerable Invasion of my ability to pursue happiness or exercise my liberty.

Long overdue for this:

You need a provision for spam, porn, etc.

If you read the text of your bill literally, then if you were running a website forum, you wouldn't be allowed to delete/block/remove spammers, people posting porn, etc.

You need to distinguish commercial speech, from political speech. And also be able to ban for abusive behavior. This is why it's so hard to regulate.

Apparently being pro Trump is more abusive than posting 9/11 pictures saying "best day ever".

Pretty pissed anti american assholes are getting away with posting executions.

These are issues an accountable, properly organized NSA / CIA / FBI would monitor, disrupt, and prosecute as a matter of course.

If only ANY of those institutions deserved the trust and respect those reponsibilities should confer.

What does this mean for the thousands who have been removed for no reason? What can we do with this information?

The amount of freedom people have is inverse to the size of their hats. Cowboys for example are Patriots and never get a say. On the other hand is Zuckerberg with the tiniest hat you've ever seen and hes allowed to do anything he wants

No way. I run a religious discussion forum. If we couldn't remove abusive people or people from other religions* & atheists who occasionally coordinate attacks on us (why some people do that sort of thing, I will never understand), then there would be no way for the administrators or moderators to keep control of the site and properly facilitate discussion.

Plus, the platform is my private property. I have a right to control my property as I see fit. If someone doesn't like it, he can start his own forum with his own money and time investment like I did.

edit: we try to allow as much freedom as expression as possible, to be clear. edit 2: * anyone want to wager a guess as to which religion has attacked us in a coordinated manner and even hacked our site before? :P

Speak the truth whether it fills a room or empties it.

You're not speaking any truth, you're just being an SJW, which is what you are.

Instagram deleted the account I've had for 8 years. Never posted anything political but decided to put a pro Trump hashtag in my bio and they deleted my account permanently because of it.

Funny story. On my FB account I used to blast libs all the time. I’d be in FB jail for a day, week or month and shit. Then I started thinking...there’s no way they’re monitoring “my” account. There’s no way and there are WAY too many transactions per minute. So I figured they’re using a scoring method. Post a big FU to Biden or whomever...that’s -10 points. Post a cute kitten or animal picture that gives me +10 points. As long as I don’t score too much in the red I’m good. I shit you not, I’ll post a couple of big FUs to anyone and then follow up with a cute post or picture — jail free for over a year. 😅

Which one? Need more context.

I had #wwg1wga which I realize isn't necessarily pro Trump but more points to Qanon. I'm not actually a follower of Q but that was my way to dog whistle to any Trump followers and let them know I'm redpilled which I'm realizing now was probably stupid. Should have taken it off the first time they purged Qanon accounts. Thought I was safe since I literally had no other posts, tags or usernames that associated with Qanon.

What did IG say when you tried to contact them?

2
Epicsoundwaves [S] 2 points ago +2 / -0

I filled out the report. It said "please go to instagram to verify your account before submitting". There's nowhere I could verify. When I put in my email, it says there's no account under that email. When I try to make a new one with that same email, it says an account already exists with that email.

I didn't get a single notification or email from them. I have no idea what to do. There's literally no way I can move forward. When I log in it just says "thanks for your information, we'll get back to you in 24 hours". It's been 2 days and nothing. So I don't even know what to do.

I’m sorry. I’m hoping you still have the old photos on your computer somewhere. There’s also the Wayback Machine website if you need to see your old photos in the internet archive and can’t retrieve them otherwise. You could always find a new service. That’s maybe all you can do. And you can post updates on the Donald. I know this is no light matter and it’s going to take time to get over the betrayal. F those losers anyway. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-contact-instagram You can try email or phone as a last option.

A single tear just fell from my eye. Thank you, soldier.

The other day at Trader Joe's a gorgeous Iranian woman was wearing a MAGA mask and she really inspired me to wear mine in public. I'm a wuss but there's just something about the power you get from seeing others do what you're scared to do.

Idk why were so scared all the time to show our support! We're the ones with the guns 😂

Nothing, it was the exact same message. Day 1 I logged in and it said "thanks for your info! We'll get back to you in 24 hours!"

2 days and 3 days later I got the same thing, with no email or anything.
