Except they didn’t incite violence. Twitter basically said they were reading the President’s mind.
Got a tip for us?

My point is that even they are skeptical of Big Tech acting like Big Brother.
Critical thinking is dead.
So I guess that means non-liberal thinking involves not plotting violent sedition against our democracy?
Hmm, so all the non-whites that I know who voted for Trump are racists? Interesting. Have you ever considered that many people don't vote Democrat becuse their policies and platform suck, and not because they are a bunch of evil racists?
Lol ok then cause it is because we all know it was a racist attack just cos the cop was white lol not gonna argue about this but you believe blm but most of the world see them for who they are, there isn’t a racial problem in america the left cause it and make everything out to be racist like I said any think white on black must be racist maybe it’s just a man killing a man which is bad funny how blm don’t care when black crime is done; anyways I don’t like racists and I don’t believe someone is racist without prove
lol, and that's not even counting the movies on itunes... shame some people can't distinguish between entertainment and actually making threats
Exactly all the left do is call everyone racist it’s there default; they want a race divide, blm has caused the biggest race divide since I was born; I’m glad all the black trump supporters see the truth, I feel bad for the left they really have no idea
He doesn’t fit into our political spectrum of left vs right. Many leftists in the US agree with him on Israel. He is directly advocating violence.
It was violent. Do you know a single person who was convinced by it?
What a load of garbage. There is zero evidence that big tech supports what you refer to as "BLM rioting." Zero. 99.999% of BLM protests have been peaceful, and those 99.999% have consistently and loudly disavowed any rioters and looters who have taken advantage of large peaceful protests as cover to riot and loot.
You don't get to call them "BLM riots" when they are peaceful protests and again and again the police (and military int he case of DC), out of the blue, attack with violent force and turn it into a ****-show.
I’m out, can’t deal with the left anymore lol go enjoy hating trump im sure it makes you all happy
You really don’t understand the difference between real life and a game?
If you already had the app installed on your phone and you bought a new iPhone, with the app transfer over to your new phone?
I can't freaking wait till the Republicans get control back (and it always happens). I hope they go full force against all of these big tech companies.
It's only intolerable because you've convinced yourself of the lie that everyone who isn't a Democrat is a racist.
Permanently banning a politician raises other issues. If Twitter banned Kamala Harris in 2024 but let her GOP opponent have an account, is that effectively an in-kind donation given their breadth?******** <--- see censored by MacRumors ... oh nos.
You do know that all sites censor what we say online. This is nothing new.
You really don't understand the point of my post?
7 months of blm rioting and looting and no one said a word but 2 hours of people walking in and taking selfies and no one with weapons and the world ends lol goodnight everyone
But I actually am concerned with the power in so few companies hands and don’t trust them to make decisions that reflect the “right” values - they shouldn’t be involved - that PROCESS should be through traditional methods
It’s worth remembering that a right to free speech does not equate to a right to access a particular platform. Private companies like Apple, Twitter, etc. are free to limit who can use their platforms and what they say on there. The first amendment only comes into play if its the government (not a private company) limiting that speech.
That said, there’s still a very worthwhile argument to be had as to whether it’s tasteful to have private companies limiting their platform and whether that’s a good or bad thing for democracy.

Just because black and brown Americans and people who support equality for all citizens have had enough and are standing up and speaking out, doesn’t mean they are causing the race divide. Republicans would like all of us to shut up and go back to the good old days when things were good for them, and sucked for the rest of us.
Sorry, but we’re not really interested in going back there. You’re going to have to learn to live in America that is racially diverse where everyone has equal civil rights.
This is total garbage, there are almost zero American "leftists" agree with Trump on Israel. American leftists support Netanyahu (do you know who that even is?) American leftists support the extreme Israeli nationalists who continue to violate international law BY THE DAY through their takeover of Palestinian lands?
HAHAHA yeah you know nothing of "leftists."
That’s an stunningly juvenile, disingenuous way to describe one of the most spectacularly-successful prosperity-delivering, peace-making, nation-strengthening Presidents in history, one whose leadership benefitted and advocated for *all Americans*, all while opposed by not only an unhinged democrat Party, but by a near-universally hostile press, a rabidly oppositional and massively influential Big Tech sector, and even, almost totally, his own party. An incredible President.
Your hatred for him is yours (and those who sponges it to you), but the facts are the facts.
I didn’t vote for him in 2016, but couldn’t deny his monumental accomplishments these last 4 years, nor the (quite evident) horrific specter of his opposition, who are now determined to squash the truth by ever-more-strangulating censorship.
Here’s the thing about racism. Most of the time, it doesn’t say the n-word with a megaphone or openly call for violence against others. It’s subtle and ingrained and systemic.
It’s Nixon & Reagan’s war on drugs.
It’s FDR’s housing restrictions under the New Deal.
It’s redistiricting. It’s voter-suppression. It’s mandatory minimums.
And it’s a cop with his knee on the neck of an unarmed man while three others watch.
It’s not always dressed in hoods and burning crosses.
