These bumbling fucking buffoons are so mother fucking clouded by their TDS they are literally admitting to their egregious behavior in attempt to back-pedal !!!
My God, seeing them writhing in the burning sun of truth is the most delicious winning we'll get, until Trump's absolute landslide victory.
Sometimes I wish I could come up with satisfying witty burns but all I feel is level 9000 frustration on Facebook and the same retard comments come out, phrased the exact same way, so I always delete them.
He didn't apologize, all he said that blocking the content without more descriptive text like "Twitter is blocking this link as part of its election interference campaign" was wrong on their part.
Its an issue altogether. These companies lured people in under false pretenses to build their massive user base, and now that they have a moat to prevent competition they turn up the heat.
We wouldn't ever have converged on twitter, youtube, reddit, etc. if these platforms were this bad originally. They always take something legit then corrupt it over time - the old boiling a frog analogy. That's the problem.
I feel the same way about predatory pricing. Amazon kills all these mom and pop businesses because they can operate at a loss while they subsidize their retail with other businesses like AWS.
I used to believe in total free markets but the game is different now. It's like how you can believe in free movement of people between countries but then once you have all this entitlement crap well that changes things. Just like we can't be open borders anymore, we can't be full on free market "it will work itself out" anymore. The game has changed, and now we need to pick the best option available to us at this moment in time. I hope if Republicans win they end the big tech gravy train. It has gone on far too long.
It's cool as long as the government police don't raid your house to confiscate your guns.
If it's the Amazon/WaPo police raiding your house to confiscate your guns it's ok because they are just doing it for the safety of their children delivery agents.
Well for the past N years, it's been people going "well you see it's not the government removing your ability to speak on the modern public square so it's totally okay!"
About time. Every precedent they are currently breaking due to TDS will be arrows in the quiver for an actual tyrant. Court packing, censorship, surveillance of political rivals, they’re normalizing all of it with little consequence.
This is how Julius Caesar was able to justify his rule as dictator for life.
Because by the time he seized power, the rules had been violated so many times that rule of law became nonexistent and thus in the absence of rule of law. The law of might makes right takes over.
Might make right is pretty easy to change. On the internet, twitter has a lot of power, it wouldn't take many people, let's say 3% or so... and all of a sudden twitter would cease to exist.

I am asking the Federal Election Commission whether this coordinated intervention by @Facebook @Twitter for the Biden campaign constitutes a violation of campaign finance or other election laws
I was impressed by Hawley in the ACB hearings. I like the cut of this gentleman's jib.
Conservatism is not dead, with people like Hawley fighting for us. Support him!

BREAKING: The Senate Homeland Security Committee has launched an investigation into Hunter Biden’s emails.
I honestly think the best suit would by the Post suing FB and Twitter (maybe Reddit) under the Clayton Act. It looks like a coordinated effort (e.g. a cartel) that deprived them of page views with no actual rational business purpose.
I’m not convinced the Feds will actually do anything but they should as well.
Folks need to realise the laptop wasn't hacked, the shop owner did what he was asked to do by Hunter; recover and back up the data on it. Hunter just never came back for it or paid for it.
Hunter didn't return for the laptop, very likely after a period of time the shops t&c's it then becomes the "owner" of the hardware as it has now become an unpaid debt, similar to a mechanics lien. I'm making assumptions here, but I imagine the shop owner had ever legal right to the hardware and it's contents due to the unpaid debt.
It does seem from reading the article that the vice president's son had his emails and hard drive hacked, and the exploitative information was being shared on Twitter. So it may have technically violated laws about distributing hacked material, but it's also a news story involving corruption, and the public deserves to know about it I think.
If by "hacked" you mean lawfully obtained by a repair place by abandoning his property there and refusing to pick it up, I guess that is a form of hacking, in the way that an automobile is a form of banana. Right?
He left the laptop at the store for over 90 days and never paid for the repair. Delaware law made the laptop and everything on it the property of the computer store.
"So it may have technically violated laws about distributing hacked material."
The NYT published a very detailed story about Trump's tax returns. If someone at the IRS leaked them, that is a major crime. The NYT ran the story, and the Tech Oligarchs in Silicon Valley profited from that crime as Twitter erupted.
The NY Post should be afforded the same deference.
I don't know the details of how this material was obtained, but Twitter cannot wait to see whether charges are filed. If it appears to be hacked, then it's reasonable to not publish it. Otherwise, they might be liable when it turns out to be illegal. If the NYT says that it's not classified and it's legal under whistleblower laws, Twitter should consider that, but ultimately they are responsible for removing what appear to be violations of the law. If it turns out to not be the case, they will republish it, and there is an appeals process. I would rather they error on the side of protection against defamation, harassment, incitement, spreading illegal material, etc., at least until they can assess it.
NYT claimed that it was not violating the law by publishing classified information because of whistleblower protection. Whether the materials falls under that classification or not is difficult to determine by looking at it, which is why we have lawsuits and criminal cases to determine whether material is legally obtained and distributed. In this case, the material appears to be legally obtained, but Twitter cannot know that immediately, and they should error on the side of flagging what appears to be exploitative material before they publish it to millions of people.
Ah, I thought you were the commenter who responded by bringing up the NYT, but it was the OP. It's the same argument regarding your concern, which is that regardless of how credible the publisher seems, Twitter still has to look at the content and determine whether it appears to violate their rules. In this case, it appeared to violate laws against illegally obtained material, so it was flagged by the algorithm or by employees, and then it was evaluated and determined to not be in violation.
By the way, if you spam deport it can cause problems with your own account
NYT wasn't publishing "classified" information. It was publishing illegally leaked material belonging to a private citizen (tax records). And given that no illegal behavior was implicated in the illegal leak, what whistle blower protections could be granted?
As for Twitter, they should wait for the court order or at least a legal notice from counsel to remove legal material protected under the first amendment rather than making the arbitrary decision to not just ban the information but ban users who share it, even privately via direct message.
I was thinking of the FISA warrant that was leaked to the NYT or the impeachment whistleblower identity... I was just thinking of material that it can be illegal to publish. If they wait until it is proven, the damage might already be done like if they out a CIA undercover agent, and only later find out that it is in fact illegal to publish it. That is why I said they might error on the side of caution at first.
You go Mollie!

Bask in his infinite glory!!!!!
What a glorious comment. Thank you my fren, thank you
I'll only take partial credit, for it is through Trump's inspirational presence that I am able to feel this American pride.
Yes, and like the evil vampires they are they need a stake driven deep into their chest.
The long stake of the law !
Old hotness: Trump Steaks
New hotness: Trump Stakes
There would be a market for those.
“I use only TRUMP brand vampire stakes. The BEST!”
Literally
This comment!
It is the single greatest comment in the history of the Internet, except for "You'd be in jail!" which, as it happens, could actually apply here!
It's no longer TDS...
It's sedition.
sedition is a common side effect of TDS
Sometimes I wish I could come up with satisfying witty burns but all I feel is level 9000 frustration on Facebook and the same retard comments come out, phrased the exact same way, so I always delete them.
Keep up the good work.
I feel your pain. I have to take a shot of whiskey when I read Twitter 🍺😁
This aww shucks gee golly routine big tech always plays is pretty stale, but I bet the Cuckservatives fall for it yet again
The money gets through to both sides of the aisle.
We need to make it painful for Republicans to accept Silicon Valley money.
We need to make it painful for everyone in government to accept Silicon Valley money.
I know, but specifically Republicans. If you want a unified front, you've gotta whip it, whip it good.
If a problem comes along you must whip it..
Try to detect it
"PS: don't regulate"
He didn't apologize, all he said that blocking the content without more descriptive text like "Twitter is blocking this link as part of its election interference campaign" was wrong on their part.
The court of law + investigative office of twitter, which takes months to review appeals, somehow deems they can determine what's true or not. 9_9
Mollie is the best
Yup. Jack just made the case for the Fed to regulate social media.
The capitalist in me despises over-regulation, but Twitter and Facebook are the reality of how we now communicate ideas and debate one another.
This has become a 1st Amendment issue. History will remember this as a pivotal moment.
We are engaged in answering the question: What happens when a corporation, rather than the government, tries to infringe on your unalienable rights?
An excellent question. I think you should OP that. I think it would lead to an excellent conversation.
Either way, I'm stealing it and posting it elsewhere. Thanks for the brain nudge.

Sweet Mollie was ready to savage anyone who came after ACB's family. But the Dems rolled over, and now she's still spoiling for a fight!
She mad.

They all get mad. It’s always time to stop them. But no one does anything and this cycle will repeat again and again. Just wait until election night.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
I’m looking at you, Barr, DOJ, Senate...
“Hey, our bad. We’ll do better.”
Always that same bullshit
Jack Dorsey is a traitor and belongs in jail or on the end of a noose.
It's not ignorance if it's willful.
NONE OF THIS IS A MISTAKE. NO MORE EXCUSES. THIS IS WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO TELL THEIR CHILDREN TO GET THEM IN LINE.
MOLLIE IS JACK'S MOM NOW. GET MOM'd BRO.
Mollie has cranked it up to 11
And removed the knob.
I want jack to hang, seriously
@jack is a closet homo communist. Change my mind.
Jack: apologizes that he screwed up.
Jack: continues to screw up because complicit.

Jack, huh? Why is it every time I hear "Jack" this scene from Deadwood plays in my head?
Kick him in the junk Mollie (if he has any)
Mom is pissed.
I noticed that too.
“Context”. I hope they all hang. Can’t wait to see Zuck, Jack and that douche from goggle in prison orange in Gitmo.
So when can we go burn down silicon valley

It wasn't hacked. Crackhead Hunter left the computer with his repairman and forgot about it...because he's a crackhead.
When's the repairman going to turn over the crack whore to Giuliani? She's probably a bit parched by now.
