    Yeah. He crossed over from Twitter’s  falsehood policy to Twitter’s inciting violence policy.

        He should be banned. I see some things saying Lin Wood was banned on Twitter or at least suspended.

          12 hours have passed

          He will never delete the flagged tweets, because doing so would be admitting defeat.

          Youll never see trump on Twitter again

              They still show up as flagged tweets with a message this tweet has been removed

              Twitter has said:

              This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.

              They still show up as flagged tweets with a message this tweet is no longer available , meaning they are there until trump manually deletes them

              Twitter has said:

              This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.

                  Conservatives have been spoiling for this for sometime now. About time social media starts taking responsibility about allowing violent extremists posting inflammatory and violent disinformation on their sites.
                   
                  [link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-or-war-how-the-capitol-mob-mobilized-on-social-media-11610069778]https://www.wsj.com/artic…cial-media-11610069778[/link]
                   

                  In the weeks since the Nov. 8 election, an online provocateur and white nationalist named Tim Gionet posted hours of live-stream videos to social media in which he repeatedly warned of rioting or worse if the results werent overturned. Trump or war! he said in a video posted on Tuesday.
                   
                  Mr. Gionet was among a collection of right-wing and extremist personalities who loudly rallied their online followings to contest the election results, through violence if necessary, according to researchers and analysts who study extremism and disinformation, as well as posts reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Many of them used the reach of mainstream social-media platforms such as [link=https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/FB]Facebook[/link] Inc. and [link=https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/TWTR]Twitter[/link] Inc. but increasingly also turned to niche sites with either fewer rules around the type of content that can be posted and/or where the communications can be encrypted, and thus inaccessible to law enforcement.
                   
                  Mr. Gionet, who was previously banned from YouTube and Twitter for abusive behavior, posted his videos to Facebook Inc.s Instagram service and the streaming platform DLive.
                   
                  Late Thursday, Facebook removed Mr. Gionets profiles from Facebook and Instagram.

                  Unlike other rallies in the past that turned violent, the Capitol riot doesnt appear to have been orchestrated by a central figure or organization, according to researchers and analysts. Instead, they say, these online rabble-rousers fomented anger over the election results for weeks through various channels and platforms.
                   
                  It was a bit of a mess, said Megan Squire, a professor of computer science at Elon University who focuses on online extremism. There were so many groups, it was broken out across numerous platforms, and fewer people were claiming to be in charge.
                   
                  Yet it was hardly unpredictable.
                   
                  The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist groups, sent more than two dozen alerts between Dec. 23 and Jan. 7 noting the rising risk of violence related to the coming gathering.
                   
                  Robert Evans, who specializes in far-right extremism for the research group Bellingcat, predicted an attempt on the Capitol in a post Monday on Bellingcats website.
                   
                  It was planned by a distributed network of extremists for months, and in some ways for years, said Mr. Evans, who has advised federal law enforcement on the growing extremist movement in the U.S.

                      Time to untether the idea that free speech is tied to a platform. These people can say whatever they want. Go shout it on the corners like a carnival barker. No one has an absolute entitlement to someone elses technology platform. Thats sans the fact that there are limits on free speech. The classic example is yelling fire in a theater.

                      So much to unpack here…
                       
                      Twitter banning Trump but leaving several world dictators, anti-human rights activists, etc. on the platform.  That really speaks for itself.
                       
                      Twitter banning Trump will likely worsen hatred from his supporters who already hate the “elite.”  It would have been better to temp ban until Jan. 20 and then just let him fizzle away once he’s out.
                       
                      Permanently banning political figures in the USA from what is essentially the new public forum (Twitter, FB, etc.) is not good.  We can all agree that politicians from both sides have said and done worse on Twitter and not been banned but what comes next?  Especially now that an alternative (Parler) is banned from Google. 
                       
                      Do we really want 3-4 Tech companies to control our speech?
                       
                      *Also, as a side note, my hospital send out a big “snowflake” email to everyone making sure we knew they had a wellness program in case any of us were “having trouble with our emotions and dealing with the trauma” of the protests.  What a crazy world.

                      Twit or FB do NOT control 1st Amendment rights. Mine, yours or TRump’s.
                       
                      As for other dictators, they did not get on Twit to encourage violence in the nation’s capital building & physically threaten Congressional staff. Or murder a policeman. Just as AM can ban you for speech that is against the rules, so can Trump be banned. None of those previously or presently banned on AM have had the 1st Amendment rights challenged. AM has its terms that we all agree to in order to have the privilege of posting here. Same for FB and Twit, regardless of whataboutisms of others heinous people using Twit or FB.
                       
                      These are snowflake bogus arguments.

                      The expressed concern of Twitter amd the other companies was that Trump would not just fizzle away in these final days, but was in fact, based on recent behavior, highly likely to incite further violence.

        And Parler is getting booted off the AWS infrastructure. So they either need to stand up their own server farm or find a cloud infrastructure provider who doesn’t mind participating in seditious activity. Given that all the big ones are competing for .gov contracts from the new administration, I doubt the big players like Azure (MS) and Google are going to pick up those digital lepers.

              They have claimed the Conservative banner for years & decades now. As we speak they are still claiming that banner. The question of what is conservatism has never been in doubt before and in their minds still is not. Their belief is undiminished that Twit and the tech giants are silencing conservative voices.
               
              They definitely represent Conservatism as it exists today, at least in all their minds. What conservatives are saying no to that? The people in the Lincoln Project? Romney? Murkowski? All the RINOs?

                    All of them representing the America they want, Confederate flags in the Capital, nooses, Auschwitz hoodies, defecating in the Capital hallways.

                    But there are some good things too. Once it was about the success of the trains running on time, today they won the Conservative judges who will smite the enemies of the mob & restore religion and God to the land. Not to mention other Conservative causes like tax cuts and deregulation.

    On the hoodie was the phrase, “Work brings freedom” under a skull and cross paddles, an english translation of the phrase “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” over the gate into Dachau and Auschwitz and other camps.
     
    Trump gave them the freedom of expression. No pansy PC for them.

      OH NOOOoooooo.
       
      Nunes on Fox saying now that Twit has shut down Donald & Apple, google & Amazon shut down Parler, Republicans have no way to communicate! And the tech companies are guilty of violating the RICO statute.
       
      WTF. Fools talking to fools, all in their own fool bubble. 
       
       

      Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was likely speaking to millions of conservatives on Fox News Sunday morning when he complained to [link=https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-assures-advertisers-that-maria-bartiromo-a-rabid-trumpkin-is-hard-hitting-journalism]host Maria Bartiromo[/link] that Republicans have no way to communicate now that the Twitter alternative Parler has been [link=https://www.thedailybeast.com/google-pulls-parler-from-play-store-for-enabling-calls-to-violence]effectively taken down[/link] by Apple, Google, and Amazon Web Services for refusing to adequately monitor its content for incitement of violence. 
       
      This is clearly a violation of antitrust, civil rights, the RICO statute, Nunes added, calling on the Department of Justice and the FBI to open a racketeering investigation into what he views as a coordinated attack on Parler. I have three million followers on Parler, the congressman whined. Tonight, I will no longer be able to communicate with those people.

            Whoops. Looks like Parler was using someone third party’s Free Trial software to keep track of their members.

      [b]Why Conservative Social Networks Are Likely to Fail[/b][/h1]  
       
      [link=https://www.platformer.news/p/why-truth-social-cant-win-in-the?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxMTM1MDIsInBvc3RfaWQiOjQ5MTE4NjYwLCJfIjoiRW8rcUciLCJpYXQiOjE2NDU2Mzc2MjAsImV4cCI6MTY0NTY0MTIyMCwiaXNzIjoicHViLTc5NzYiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.OXqZdpTi_uEhIqx-RnSFH9q9DLmC4iZrGgMTiwr81Ds&utm_source=url]Casey Newton[/link]: There are very few liberals posting on them, reducing the amount of polarized conflict that provides so much entertainment on Twitter in particular. Their business models are fuzzy and largely theoretical. They have so far failed to hire the kind of name-brand talent that helps social apps grow and make money.
       
      With the arrival of Truth Social, though, believers in a conservative-led alternative to mainstream social networks can finally play a literal Trump card. Posts from the president will undoubtedly drive at least some level of media coverage, particularly as they are cross-posted onto Twitter by his supporters and detractors. That does make it feel different, and potentially more consequential, than its predecessors.
       
      But aside from those posts, Truth Social doesnt look much different from its predecessors at all. It still looks to be structured for mostly one-way communication, broadcast primarily to an audience of Trumpist dead-enders.

        She’s been a right-wing shill for over a decade now. No surprise at all except some just realizing that reality.
         
        There’s more $ to be made being a kiss-up shill than being just a “boring” analyst.

      Can presidential medals of freedom be stripped?  If so I’d like to see that taken away from Rush.  Give one to someone who deservers it like Dolly Parton.

    I saw some of filing from Amazon’s lawyers last night.  They’re coming out swinging the bat.  It looks like they have Parler dead to rights.
