Twitter ‘manipulated algorithm’ to silence Donald Trump

You, you're insisting that a "platform" is not "legitimate" unless it grants Donald J Trump carte blanche, backing up veggie man's idea that our country is going to s**t because we supposedly don't have free speech online. We have free speech online, you are free to build a website where you can censor what I'm saying here.

There are people who can read code & there are people who feel entitled to new features from the code, then there are people who claim code to be relevant to the best interests of rich a**holes.

Code is just code man. Some people just can't chill out about it.

They were a publisher of software before anyone ever tweeted Pepe.

This is like suing Trump's stage because fell through it after one cheeseburger too many.

Writing code is fun and easy.  It is no more difficult than learning another English dialect.  Trump could do it, but then he would have no time to play golf, foreclose on orphanages, or evict disabled people from their homes.

Trump being "silenced" on Twitter is like him being told not to talk in the loo -- there is already too much crap there.

Written with Donald J. Trump in mind:

Chris Hedges

Aaron Matte

Dylan Ratigan

Max Blumenthal


I could add more to the list, but that will suffice for now. All of them independent progressive journalists who have been demonitized and smeared in MSN and social media? Their crime? Being against war and criticizing the political establishment.

Trump is irrelevant to the points I'm trying to make.

Gosh! It's like talking to children!

This is what makes whether or not Trump has been silenced a moot point: Posting on Twitter is a privilege, not a right, and Trump was "silenced" because he abused that privilege.

Crying because you are not allowed to play with the big kids anymore when you could instead invent your own games and not invite the others is pointless.  Little Donnie can just code his own social platform, call it whatever he wants, post whatever he wants on it, invite whomever he wants to join it, ban whomever he wants from it, and believe that he rules the Internet.

Problem solved.
