What are the chances of Trump enabling an obscure social service? His existence alone should be able to draw a lot of app installs.
or maybe by executive order launch a twitter clone 1st.gov?

#142Interesting how they sing a different tune once the other party finally gets certification of the election results, time to get 'cozy' with the new people in power and set up those dinners [1] and ad deals with them. [1] https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-hosted-zuckerbe...
Yep. Fuck zuck, finally deleted my Facebook account because of this.
a young Soros in the making, we're indeed ruled by them.

When you're more or less encouraging a coup, the "fire in a crowded theater" analogy couldn't be more applicable.
Yet there was no censorship occurring when the left \b\b\b\b opposing side was encouraging domestic terrorism.
Who is "the left?" This conversation is about a specific person doing a specific act. Unless you have a specific example of something you disagree please try not to reduce the standard of discourse up in here.

See for yourself: https://nypost.com/2021/01/06/trump-releases-statement-telli... Someone described this video as taking a log off the fire while simultaneously pouring gasoline which I think is a fair characterization.
So basically you are saying: - Asking for peace isn’t enough - And. He really needs to stop believing his claim of fraud? Wild. Am I crazy or is everyone else right now?
I'm saying this video will further instill anger in his supporters and possibly if not probably lead to greater acts of political violence.

Yes, while also providing encouragement for those illegally entering the capital by calling them "loved" and "special".
Wait, seriously why is he banned though?
Because he did not actually provide a statement condemning the riot that took place and said several things that are being interpreted (by both his followers and his opposition) as supporting the behavior.
(Please try not to read this in a condescending way): There is a difference between "You need to leave the capital building immediately. You are breaking the law and this will not be tolerated" (an approximation of the message many officials offered). and "Please go home. You are loved and you are special to this movement" (approximation of Trump's statement)

I doubt that these things are ever personal. People in position of power meet all the time and not necessarily with good intentions.
Trump got power, Zuckerberg got power and they meet to discuss how to proceed. Trump loses power, Zuckerberg locks down his account because the arrangement is no longer viable.
The deal itself could have been anything, maybe Trump threatening to regulate the hell of FB if they don't play ball, maybe Zuckerberg had a good idea on how to get rid of TikTok with the help of Trump in exchange of letting him do his thing. Who knows?

When did a leftist public official go on Facebook and encourage protesters to smash store windows and set cars on fire? Can you give some examples?

#148Zuck the PHP dev thinks he's Emperor.
Isn’t he, though?

#149"indefinitely and for at least the next two weeks" What the hell does that mean?
Two weeks, maybe more.

Why aren’t we blaming anyone that died at CHAZ/CHOP on BLM? It’s hard not to see the bending-over-backwards academic justifications for why we shouldn’t be suppressing riots last year as anything other than the pretext and lead up to what’s happening now. I’m not calling legitimate protesting riots - rather the media was fully complicit with ignoring blatant rioting last year. Buildings were burning and government bu…
This is whataboutism. Trump organized the rally that became the riot, he told them himself to march to the Capitol. He is responsible for what happened after that.
> Trump organized the rally that became the riot
By that logic, BLM led to the destruction of cities and neighborhoods across the country for months on end.
This isn't whataboutism, it's a call to suppress riots and call the activists and their sympathizers from last year to account for their bias.
