I'm just going to say, if Joy Reid is a poor source, and she is. The NYP is the biggest rag in the Murdoch empire. Try finding a semi credible source.

Berenson was censored on twitter for saying the Covid 19 vaccination did not stop transmission of the virus. That is easily looked up, I’m sure a quick google search will pull it up.

I'm not aware of Twitter specifically saying, "These are the tweets we are banning you for posting."

I'm sure one could find lots of factual stuff that Berenson said, and lots of incorrect things that are still incorrect. I'm not inclined to participate in the logical fallacy that because he made one tweet that was factual all of his were, or vice versa. I'm sure he was prolific and I'm sure we could cherry pick examples until the cows come home. Hence my question for specifics.

His case settlement had nothing to do with the veracity or lack thereof of his posts but on the way twitter communicated and administered their policies.

Big Fin will probably ban you when he sees this.

I'm sure he has contemplated it already.

60+ pages, 1K+ views.

Still a fraction of "is the 7mm08 enough" or "6.5CM for elk?", or even "not looking for any honey holes but ...." WEAK.

I am certain the politicians mentioned in this thread spend an equal amount of time worrying and thinking about us.

Are you implying twitter wasn't an advocate of left of center narrative and conversely a suppressor of opposing narrative...without assigning homework?

I'm stating what happened in that specific matter, and saying that as far as the content of the tweets; I didn't read them, I haven't seen a summary of the objectionable ones and therefore can't engage on the topic.

Isn't it pretty irrelevant, even if true? Twitter is the final arbiter of what they allow on their platform. They are not the government. Just as on this board, we are not without restriction to what we post. We have no legal recourse if we are silenced.

Any cooperation between Twitter and and a governmental agency, is at the end of the day, a voluntary action by Twitter. A person could argue the GOP and Fox news have enjoyed a similar relationship for many years. Twitter and Fox for that matter have the final say of what is censored and what isn't.

Trump did not like Twitter and created an alternative platform to maintain the ability to get his voice heard. It is one of the few things I'll give him a tip of the hat for doing. You can bet that they censor what stays up on their platform.

Is that a racist comment? I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

No more than than new handle of the former Montanan now living in Michigan.

Hard to believe this thread is still running. 61 pages and no one’s mind has been changed whether to vote to give a second term to the worst president ever or the biggest con man ever in politics. I have faith this thread will still sort it out.

Ours is in person at a polling location.

In Idaho it is in person at the County Courthouse. Except when the Legislature forgets to authorize a Primary.
There is also a mail-in absentee process.

Twitter as an extension of the DNC would've been sufficient....and that is what I posited.
