So Twitter has “permanently suspended” President Donald Trump’s account.
While this will please Democrats, it just goes on to prove Twitter’s illegitimate claims of just being a platform. No, it is more than a platform.
Yes, some of Trump’s tweets may be incendiary, but so are the tweets of Islamist Ayatollah Khamenei. But, his account is still up. Why? Because the platform is operated by a group of American liberals, who police only one type of person wedded to one type of political dispensation. And, this is just disgusting.
What forced Twitter to permanently suspend Trump’s account was his tweet mentioning he wouldn’t attend Joe Biden’s inauguration. Twitter deliberately misinterpreted it to mean Trump would not concede defeat at all. This only showed Twitter was looking for an excuse.
Of late, during the election campaign, Twitter had a history of bias against the New York Post newspaper. It shut down the paper on its platform for publishing a genuine Hunter Biden story, which the fake news CNN picked it up only days after Joe Biden claimed Presidential victory. This incident proved its leaning towards the Democrats than the Republicans.
If Twitter was a private publisher, they would have been taken task, but they aren’t. Thanks to Section 230. Twitter faces no responsibility for what is tweeted, but censors those who are pro-right and encourages communists, Islamists, Globalists, and hardcore socialists.
This is untenable. Either Section 230 needs to be repealed or Twitter needs to step back and let the public decide what is acceptable and what is not.
