Facebook and Twitter have gone off the rails with censorship of a mainstream, legitimate newspaper because they posted articles – here and here – detailing potential corruption by the Bidens.
Senator Josh Hawley said the censorship amounts to “rigging the election.”
Surveys show that 90% of the staff on Facebook and Twitter support Joe Biden. We also know that conservatives say the censorship is aimed 100% at Donald Trump, never Biden.
There are calls by some Republicans to immediately take away FB and Twitter’s 230 protection since they no longer follow the rules.
No excuses. No 230 exceptions. https://t.co/ozrqvc1q2q

Former DNI Richard Grennell predicted the future for Twitter and Facebook as just another Craig’s List. That would be a shame but it’s very possible.
Most posters agreed. They are the new MySpace.
. @Twitter is about to become Craig’s List.
And they have no one to blame but themselves. @jack

They are an arm of the DNC and they need to lose protections that they should not have as publishers and censors. These monopolies are taking away our First Amendment.
Watch:
President Trump says Twitter and Facebook are “out of control.”

Did Twitter back down. A little worried about a subpoena, @Jack.

Has anyone noticed how many foreign nationals are at Twitter, which are the spokesmen for censorship.
We can guess too many Republicans are in the pocket for Facebook. Graham is only having Twitter come in, Not Facebook. Hawley wants to subpoena both.
I will be DELIGHTED to see them burn out! I got censored for making a innocuous political comment on FB two days ago. I have only used it because of a way to keep family connections. And stay off Tube as well. Don’t support them.
There is a report that Twitter is DOWN all over according to DownDetector.
If they’re violating 230, then they need to be held accountable.
Is there anything in the original law which talks about guardrails for 230, and penalties if violated?
I’m not aware of any, so the usual remedy is lawsuit.
Certainly Trump can make an executive order removing immunity, but it won’t last five minutes if the Democrats win the election.
Face Book has very deep pockets, so would fight in court, and likely Twitter would as well.
It will get down to who wins the next election.
Democrats are pleased as punch with the way things are and will plan to make it stick, essentially censoring everything Republicans say as being unreliable and a risky source while Democrat sources will be the only ones available.
Certainly is a rigged system, but once they’re in control, it may be impossible to get them out of the driver’s seat.
The other wild card is the lawyers, if the lawyers see that there is big money in suing the tech giants, then the lawyers will likely through the tech giants such as FB and Twitter under the bus.
The lawyers can’t wait to make really big money suing multinational companies for abuse of citizen rights.
It may end up that Facebook and Twitter will only be able to operate in their current form in Communist China.
