Topic	Post MAGA Alert: Trump to start his own Social Media Network...
Zeus 10/29/21 4:36:56 AM #34:	adjl posted... Which is why Facebook and Twitter are having such a hard time? Show me where signing up for a Facebook or Twitter account is grounds for being fired from a company. More importantly, Facebook and Twitter are allowed to exist, whereas the government and extremist groups pressure companies to deny access to those conservative social media channels. And the fact that far-left authoritarian politicians are trying to pressure social media platforms to suppress conservative opinions is a separate, but still salient discussion which ties into the larger trend. adjl posted... There is, but regular Twitter's and Facebook's algorithms already tend to promote right-wing perspectives preferentially. Right-wing extremists will sometimes get booted off, sure, and then wave their giant victim complex around as they run sobbing to Parler or whatever, but by and large, the whole "social media discriminates against right-wing views!" thing is the exact opposite of the truth. The only right-wing views they discriminate against are thinly-veiled calls to murder all the gays Twitter and Facebook's algorithms target things that get the highest interactions. Blame the userbase, not the algorithm. And Twitter, FB, etc, very strongly discriminate against right-wing views, which you can clearly see by how their councils are stacked. Monopoman posted... We also have seen them take a stance against misinformation before they banned Trump they were posting links below all his tweets going against every damn thing he tried to tell people that was a blatant lie. Which also comes back to the unequal treatment. Factually-questionable conservative remarks received "fact checks" whereas outright-inaccurate liberal stances did not. BlackScythe0 posted... I mean Zeus is so consistent with his bull shit you kinda have to believe he believes what he says, but it's so fucking insane that it's hard to believe anyone could believe that even when you know about 1/4 - 1/3 of the nation believe it. So first thing "conservative welcoming" is fucking disingenuous. Those websites are for hate and promotion of violence. You don't get banned from normal social media for being conservative. Like the don sub reddit got taken down because they were promoting the killing of police while banning anyone that tried to talk common sense. People don't get in trouble for saying "I don't like taxes" or "I take issue with this particular regulation" You know it but all you do is promote disgusting garbage Zeus. BS0 spewing more BS. First, you're promoting a false narrative. Second, you're using the promotion of false narrative to justify your McCarthyism. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:959495419] in Post MAGA ...
