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.

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.”

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.… Read more »
Russian bots? We don’t need no stinking Russian bots…to influence an election. CL is the flea market of the internet which was knocked down a peg or two due to the sex traffic ads which were laughable with the same broken English and bad grammar posted from coast to coast featuring stolen recycled internet babe pics. It was fun to… Read more »
DOJ’s proposal for Section 230 reforms.

That’s just another dodge by Coward Barr. Section 230 does not make censorship legal. We need a real US AG to support the first amendment.
