He was banned from Twitter because, they said, he violated a policy against the glorification of violence. Here are the two tweets they referred to.
Quote:
"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"
The second indicated Trump did not plan to attend Joe Biden's inauguration.
There was clearly no glorification of violence in either tweet. The move was blatantly political and clear evidence of Twitter's left wing prejudices.Quote:
"To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th."
His tweets and posts on FB were being censored long before the election was decided. At least 65 times his posts were removed from the 2 sites compared to zero of Quid's .Quote:
But Mr Trump was banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook after his supporters stormed the US Capitol.
And it has been revealed that Zuckerberg and his wife invested a fortune ($350 million ) in their effort to assist the Democrats in rigging the elections .
Since most social media sites (excluding this one ) have a heavy partisan presumption then why would he trust them to deliver his message if he has the means to fund his own venue ? Lets see if they do to his site what was done to Parler ?
FB down played it's own role in the Capitol riot . They lied about the extent of their censoring sites and organizations that they claim planned the riot .

They scrubbed content after the fact
Wonder what the payoff is going to be? You can be sure they expect something for their 350 mil.Quote:

I have heard FB's editorial ads on Spotify . At a minimum they intend to shape net regulations that are favorable to them. That is the way rent-seekers hold onto power . They assist in the writing of the law which in turn stifles competition .Market share is the power and the name of their game .
Facebook and Twitter were both offline for half a day recently, and Facebook accounts are hacked routinely. It has become the norm.
As far as private data goes, I don't even have my birthyear on FB, much less any data that I would mind becoming public since it already IS public.
Surely people have enough sense not to have bank account and SS numbers stored on FB.
The Facebook "truth " has been exposed by whistle blower Frances Haugen ;formerly of Facebook's "Integrity Team" .
If Trump's site does nothing more than promote open, honest, and fair exchanges of ideas, then it will be a winner.
In all honesty, do you think that is even remotely possible?Quote:

Possible? Yes. Probable? That remains to be seen. It's hard to imagine it could be anyQuote:

worse that FB or Twitter.
That being said would it be more balanced that Parlar or others..Quote:

I am reminded about how the big tech monopoly ganged up and knee capped Parler .
Speaking for myself ,I use my phone for very limited purposes that do not include heavy amounts of time on social media. That is what my lap top is for ,
I think that the greatness of social media has been critically undermined by censorship. Speaking for myself ,there are 2 reasons for me to participate . I connect with family and friends ;and I engage in conversation and debate . Censorship severely affected the later . Twitter used to be a dynamic site that was used for the free and open exchange of ideas . Censorship has turned it into a site of bobble headed Borg collectives with almost no alternative narrative. I suspect Trump's new site would be the same . I see no value in joining such a site . The only reason I still am on Twitter is to mine the thoughts of people I mostly disagree with
What a contradiction in terms. A Trump media channel called 'Truth'?
I can't actually remember him saying anything truthful during his election campaign, term in office or since.
In my opinion the only reason he is likely to start a new media channel is for him to keep telling people how great he is, being extremely economical with the truth and posting a load of idiotic rubbish in the same way he has been doing since joining other social media sites.
I am not American and neither do I reside in the US. I am simply someone who has been following Trump and his career since he started his initial election campaign and watching his as a neutral and in an objective way.
I can remember several.Quote:
I can't actually remember him saying anything truthful during his election campaign, term in office or since.
1. He asserted he did not collude with Russia. Turned out to be true.
2. He said we could not control our southern border without a wall. True.
3. He said unemployment reached historic lows. True.
4. He said small business confidence was at an all time high. True.
5. He said the DJIA jumping 1,000 points in five weeks was the fastest increase in history. True.
6. He said the southern border was a major artery for drug imports into the U.S. True.
7. He said he was being spied on and his office was tapped. True.
8. He said 43 million Americans were on food stamps during the Obama admin. True.
Here is another boatload of true statements by Trump.
https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...r=donald-trump
Now if you want to say he told some whoppers, then that's fine, but to say he never said anything truthful is just nonsense. And if you want to be critical of him for lying, then be an equal opportunity criticizer and include Obama, HC, and JB.
The biggest truth he told was that he was the victim of a plot to falsely accuse him of colluding with Russia to steal the election in 2016
. Just yesterday John Durham filed smoking gun evidence that Evita campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann texted FBI General Council that he was NOT working for the Evita campaign when he delivered to the FBI the fabricated Steele dossier .
That was one of the many BIG LIES told about Trump

Another big lie told about Trump was the claim the left still makes that Trump said there were 'very fine' neo Nazis in Charlotte
