Seems our social media platforms have decided to be more assertive and political. Not a good direction we are heading imo.
They're not being political . If that's what you think you're listening to the wrong people and only hearing one side of the story. People on the left, like me, get blocked and banned too.
@powder I don't know enough about that situation to comment, but generically, if only one side was saying inappropriate shit, then it would make sense that only one side was censored. e.g. Biden didn't get banned from Twitter because he didn't incite a riot. That seems pretty logical to me.
@powder Maybe if the right wasn't staging coup attempts, we wouldn't have to worry about seeing a response like in 3rd world nations. Anyway, is rather lose some liberty like Facebook and Twitter, both of which I stopped using anyway, than lose everything because the right so desperately wants a dictator.
@powder Well, let me shock you and anyone else who doesn't care if America remains a democracy: I am saying that the Left doesn't abuse social media in the same ways as Donald Trump. Even before inciting an insurrection by constantly undermining the integrity of US elections by convincing a bunch of knuckle-dragging deplorables their government was being stolen from them, Trump was doing unprecedented shit with social media. He has destroyed people's lives on social media, attacking citizens personally and individually by name resulting in a mob of his rabid supporters attacking that same person at his behest and inundating them with death threats. Donald Trump has threatened thermonuclear war on Twitter. Donald Trump has fired cabinet-level position holders on Twitter. He attacked leaders of allied countries on Twitter calling Trudeau 'dishonest & weak'. Plus all the crazy shit he did before he was president like claim global warming was a Chinese hoax, claim Obama was an ineligible and thus illegitimate president of the United States because of a fake birth certificate, claimed LED bulbs cause cancer, and so, so much more.
So, what equally abusive shit has the Left done with social media oh master of equivocation?
@powder Nice dodge of the question. You claimed that the Left abused social media in the same ways as Donald Trump. I pointed out some of the terrible things he's done with it and asked you to prove your point and show me the same from the Left. Instead you just rambled on about a slippery slope argument that didn't prove your point one bit.
