how many people actually have twitter anyway.
like i keep hearing about all these tweets but i dont know any one who actually has twitter, and i noticed this and started asking my friends and co workers so far only 2 out of about 30 ish people ive asked, actually has a twitter account.
who are these people on twitter, what is there demographic because they certainly arnt the averedge northern England joe at least.
as i posted - i dont want them to, but it seems to be the only solution at this point. Correct, you dont need twitter or facebook, but by now everyone except those in denial, knows it extends much further. Google for example. Much of the media coming out of hollywood is now filled with agenda or shaped in fear of being labled.
Do we need any of those things? of course not. But asking people to live without google for example, touching some facet of their lives is a severe inconvenience at very best.
real democrats/liberals or should i say, freethinking ones also support ideals that frown upon this type of censorship and control. Need is irrelevant when tens of millions, billions of people consume the data, news, ideas, that come from these sources.
Soooo much power.
Along the same vein as indoctrination being taught in public schools as opposed to academia now. Or in equal share at least. But thats a whooooole nother thing. Point is it shapes ideals early on. Schools should be sticking to education just like social media should be neutral. (as should the media) but pipe dream.

So let me get this right you posted something you claimed to be fact, then when asked for evidence you only found other people news articles about people claiming the same thing, again without evidence. Then people pointed out that those articles aren't evidence and now you're smarter than them so you don't need evidence and their opinion is mindless repetition?
I've considered myself to be either a conservative-democrat or a liberal-republican, but I have no clue who Laura Loomer is and I'm thinking that it's a good thing that I do not.
That said, Twitter is open to being criticized by this loony person, her following or anyone who chooses to look at the situation now as they clearly do not openly enforce their own rules. Farrakhan not being banned is kind of a clear example of that. He's a staunch anti-semite and racist and it's amazing that he's still given a platform on Twitter.

Are conservatives being censored? No.
Is Twitter enforcing their rules on both sides? Absolutely Not.
So help start a movement to counter these perceived agendas and change the world for how you view would be the better? Right now the market is deciding to go this way that you see as a negative, so gather people and rally to change the culture if you think it is bad enough.
With what you bring up, that hypothetical microphone would be regulated because it harmed enough people's "peace", not because people were not allowed to use it. So it is off topic and diverting from the point I am making about "right for me to let people use my private property or not".
That's not the reality of the situation though. Twitter is a monopoly and nothing is taking it's place in the near-future. It is the clear platform of choice for someone to reach a very large audience and have influence.
We are both right about this in our own ways, I see what you're saying, but disagree on the grounds that it's a monopoly...in the west anyway.
Twitter can do whatever the hell they want, justified or not. And I do think there exists cases where their actions aren't very justified. Looking at Laura Loomer's tweets though....she had it coming.
they find the most sensationalist.
you got 1 alt right myth post.
a bunch of turf cancer
and the bee hive of man haters as the top results.

in that case hes an anti-Semite pile of shit.
but his donkey story is still good.
ahh but you shouldn't confuse personal property and law with corporate property and law.
there very different things and the arm of government has vastly different reach on each.
in the UK we already police twitter and face book through the communications act and we do have public orders that ban people from using platforms, even cell phones.
Basically what I'm saying is anyone can say anything is a claim. Just like people believed in gravity and then Einstein proved the first theory of gravity to be wrong.
Gravity was considered a fact before Einstein proved it wrong, and there's still people today who think gravity is the first theory and not Einstein's version of it.
So what was a fact turned out to be a claim, in this case, is the current fact really a fact or is it also a claim that will be proven wrong by a different fact in a thousand years?
Every facts are studied by humans who make mistake or make people believe that their claims are true. Facts are only what people decide to believe.
So you can take the information at hand, which is that social media companies are overwhelmingly leftist, and the claims of conservatives getting shit because of it, and realize it's most likely a fucking fact regardless of any scientific """""""""""""evidence""""""""""""""" that would sell you the idea.
Basically there's a giant amount of conservatives claiming they're getting shit because of very leftist medias. Whether it's all just claims, straight up lies, or true, it's happening, make of it what you want. Even if you see evidence of something you don't believe in, you can make the choice to say the evidence is just a claim, like fucking flat earthers, you sound exactly like flat earthers.
