The internet as most people know it has decided that Trump is no longer welcome. It’s a turning point for digital speech that was years in the making but took just a few hours to happen.

“It’s almost like a bunch of dudes in Silicon Valley who happened to win the start up lottery shouldn’t be in charge of making the rules the world follows in order to speak,” “A platform should not apply one set of rules to most of its users, and then apply a more permissive set of rules to politicians and world leaders who are already immensely powerful,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which supports privacy and free speech online, said Thursday in aGovernment policymakers, the group added, should “find ways to foster competition so that users have numerous editorial options and policies from which to choose.

Social media had plenty of rules, laid out in lengthy terms of service written by company lawyers and quickly skimmed or fully ignored by most users. But enforcement was uneven, and there was relatively little outside scrutiny of content moderation decisions.

Banning Trump has nothing to do with free speech because free-speech does not include inciting sedition and putting the country in danger! Twisting the meaning of free speech to allow killers and psychopaths to spew lies to the public it’s not free speech

Hallelujah at least they did right and stood behind our country

He should have been impeached the first go

75 million might disagree with you

I’m waiting for the day the country turns on him!

In order to return civility to the Capitol and Country we must first remove the tyrant that caused the harm to millions of Americans and investigate all factors that caused or participated in the obvious breaches...

Lylabug2 I am happy to see this, but there is something fundamentally wrong with our government when quicker action is taken to sanction a dangerous fake pres madman ginning up domestic terrorists by civilian corporations than our by actual representatives.

Whether it's private tech companies or the law, The 1A should not be used to incite violence, racism, bigotry yet we allow it to happen. It's like committing Constitutional hara-kiri.

Get the phone records NOW before he has someone at the phone company change the records!

He's certainly delusional and dangerous, so this is a good thing!

Bye Bye Freedom of Speech

Easy now,he is on his way out...

They turned on him only when they were sure he was leaving office and his ability to earn profits for them diminished. They should not be applauded for taking action at the last minute.

FREE SPEECH!!!

And here lies the inaccuracies of the leftist media ! The Internet has no single centralized governance in either technological implementation or policies for access and usage! Twitter is not the internet ! And Tim Berners Lee created WWW for everyone! No one owns it !

I say 'Oh, Happy Day' ;) via YouTube

This all about taking “The Megaphone 📣 “ away from Megaphone Man!! I wouldn’t read more than that into this. Actions have consequences!!!

4 years too late

Everyone cheering for censorship thinks it won’t ever happen to them.

Communism!

Take a good look at CNN & they still have the ego's controlling the shows and are still promoting the chaos, showing video of Trump for his followers to worship.

The internet decided. Aka like 3 companies that need broken up decided.

Big tech liberals too scared to let him 'EXPOSE' the corruption in the swamp!!😂 Any 'IDIOT' that doesn't see what's happening, do yourself a favor and 'LISTEN' for yourself what trump 'ACTUALLY' said that 'CAUSED' a riot If you're allowed to read this. Twitter keeps deleting

FREE SPEECH!!!!

I would like JoeNBC to spend some time defining conservatism to us. I don't understand what it is.

'A platform should not apply one set of rules to most of its users, and then apply a more permissive set of rules to politicians and world leaders who are already immensely powerful,'

they are private companies who suck. balloon bursted.

Trump has been canceled. It’s just beginning.

“The internet has decided” Don’t suggest the internet public have. The guys at the top of internet companies who are financially interested in getting rid of Trump, have decided.

Wait a minute MSNBC. Are you celebrating this? This is socialism 101, and you are celebrating? Socialism silences political opponents, freedom celebrates all political points of view. You do know they are silencing other conservatives don’t you? Wake up America!!!

And breaking News: the internet will survive! Good grief it’s ridiculous how much attention this us getting! The PRESS is feeding the movement and feeding Trumps head! Stop that and we’ll really gave something to celebrate!

The day the Reckoning began. Didn't come soon enough. 😠 Internet service providers better learn from their mistakes.

YAAAAY I LOVE CENSORSHIP!!!

Loving all the MAGAt ❄️’s in here. Let’s reframe: Twitter banning Trump is NO different than a bakery refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple

Who is 'The Internet'? Are they cousins to the Hacker 4chan?

I'am Stille Your President.

Republican lawmakers signaled support for this by not clarifying platform liability. Instead of allowing more speech, they guaranteed that there would be less.

If this doesn't scare you there is no hope for you. At some point they will come for you as well.

Let's censor everyone. I am for free speech - do not generalize to suit your own purpose.

As with most civilised countries terrorist organisations are not normally permitted to extol their bile over the airwaves or social media.

Freedom of speech is holy but hate speech and telling/selling lies should be banned forever TrumpTwitterBan

don't lie, NOT MOST PEOPLE... just the globalists....

'When you rip a man's tongue out, you aren't proving him as a liar - you're telling the world you fear what he might say'

TOO LATE !!

So freedom of speech is bullshit

This is a China plot!

And will ultimately lead to our beautiful country’s separation. If not ASAP - we are doomed.

No, it is not 'the internet.' 'The internet' is for free speech. A handful of super-powerful mega-corporations (who can be specifically named) have taken the power we 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 to cancel human rights.

Disgusting for endorsing that Digital companies have this control. I will stand up and cheer when they completely replace the Big 3

So ends America 🇺🇸

Communist America!

Years too late

The digital divide may unfortunately serve to further the societal divide that has taken place.

Free speech that is destructive, if that is the intention, telling a falsehood that causes harm to others must not be condoned, if it's good for the goose, so too the gander!!

Why was he even allowed on a ballot if he wasnt qualified ? Seems the the ppl in didnt want anything changed n he scared them.

It's PHENOMENAL to not have to see his obvious lies anymore

It took too long for them to shut him down.... Should have happened years ago!

Requirements to Hold Office of The President: Article II of the U.S Constitution:The president must be a naturalborn citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. Thats it. So basically the pres can be an idiot
