It’s clear, in other words, that two of Trump’s primary tools in his attempt to steal a presidential election were Facebook and Twitter.
The reach of these posts is astounding and troubling. Trump posted at least 757 times to his more than 32 million Facebook followers, and at least 447 of those posts were labeled by Facebook as potentially containing election misinformation. A closer examination reveals that at least 225 posts included fraudulent claims of victory, baseless allegations of election fraud or delusional narratives of how the results of a democratic election could somehow be changed or manipulated after the fact.
Facebook enabled, amplified and profited from millions of people's interactions with the Trump campaign's blatant attempt to steal an election Trump was unwilling — or, perhaps owing to its sheer preposterousness, unable — to go on camera to present his fake case for election fraud and, thankfully, most responsible media outlets refrained from engaging with it.
But Facebook enabled, amplified and profited from millions of people's interactions with the Trump campaign's blatant attempt to steal an election. The American public doesn’t know how many people read Trump's social media posts about the Big Lie — the companies do, but neither provides public data for them — and it’s impossible to quantify the ways they echoed throughout the social media ecosystem, in private groups or private messages.
NBCNewsTHINK Coming from the propaganda kings!

NBCNewsTHINK If he get back on social media he cause another insurrection. So why be foolish enough to give him another chance to do so? He is still selling the same lie.
NBCNewsTHINK Any social media company allowing a person to use any media platform to spread lies,create division and promote violence becomes an accomplice to the destruction that ensues.

NBCNewsTHINK Trump is a BIG LOSER.impeached TWICE, LOST an election by 7 MILLION votes,lost 70 lawsuits in a two months period,and he calls Romney a loser.
THINK 'I think Trump has learned a pretty big lesson from the impeachment', Susan Collins
THINK Free Trump!!🇺🇸❤🙏😊👍👍
THINK A real leader doesn't use social media to stoke the flames of hatred, or lie, or rake other people over the coals. That's exactly what he did, and why he was kicked off Twitter.
THINK I can hear the GOP Trump Cultists bellowing their righteousness loudly. It'll be back to the Twitter Wars.
THINK Why isn't this former guy in prison yet?!!
THINK And of course nbc uses their media as a democrat propaganda tool to undermine American democracy AND exert the power of that agenda. I’ll take Trump over that bs every day! nbcsucks joebidenhastogo

THINK Bullshit!!!! Social media was used to undermine the President. GFY
THINK The fact that this is even a discussion we have to have just proves that BIG TECH HOLDS MORE POWER THAN THE PRESIDENT Read it again.
THINK What you are accusing Trump of is exactly what you are doing with this story. It is really unbelievable how you can twist the narrative to fit your own agenda. It is actions like this that has Americans aware of how the liberal media reacts to anything that is counter to theirs
THINK Most biased thing I’ve ever heard. Media is the problem democracy is facing.
THINK BS clown show , blame -brag , insult fest by the orange beast .
THINK This coming from NBC lol
THINK Search for images under 'hitler propaganda' then search for images under 'trump poster'. There is no difference
THINK I agree.He will propagate false information as expected.Enough of Trump and trumpeters!its nightmare all over again!Haven't we learned our lesson at all?why are people so naive and simpletons?
THINK These platforms banned Trump because the Dems won the election, that's all. They'll do the same to Dems when the pendulum swings back the other way. Be very careful about endorsing censorship, because you will inevitably find yourself on the wrong side of it at some point.
THINK Big picture people. If a private company like Twitter & Facebook can censor a sitting US President then what becomes of us. These social media companies have gone from disseminating news to gate keepers of public opinion. Who gave them that right? Do away with Section 230.
THINK Who wants to see what he wants to say! NO ONE!
THINK You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. -Abraham Lincoln
