Except you are fighting on the side of the swamp, bruh. You are fighting on the side of monopoly, and censorship, and deceptive practice, and government protection under false pretenses, and bias. You're at war with those trying to stop all that. Get a clue.

Sounds like the Facebooks and Twitters is fricked... oh and the YouTube as well...

The working group will also monitor or create watch-lists of users based on their interactions with content or other users.

i think a bigger issue with these platforms is the fake accounts. if you want FB/Twitter to really be reigned in from being agents of propaganda, then force them to actually regulate and eliminate fake accounts

In this case, it is a great use of gov't. Places like facebook, twitter and youtube started out neutral and have evolved to be leftest mouth pieces, they need to be reined in.
you do know that social media use is voluntary yes?
the president of the United States freely volunteers to use those services every day (and seemingly every hour). Let’s say tomorrow that twitter decides that support of the president is banned, and tweets that do so will be deleted.
you want the fricking federal government to force a publicly owned business to change their policy because you don’t like it? What about letting the market do that?
why can’t the leader of the free world just...stop using it if he doesn’t like their policies?

Why isn’t this in their own corporate self interests?

So in other words they need to choose to be either a platform or a publisher and not pretend to be a platform to the public while censoring like a publisher in private.
Which will clearly disadvantage the left as they know they can’t win on the merits of their ideas and have to create echo chambers to get into office.

i honestly have no idea
maybe it has something to do with showing some sort of growth in users, but, even then, it's all based in bullshite

I’m sorry big government wants to take your censorship away.
You seem to think that this will somehow reduce censorship.
If social media companies are now going to be responsible for anything and everything posted on their platforms, get ready for the opposite.

It's nice to have a President who cares about conservative voices.

Because they are a monopoly. Competing entities have been destroyed several times. You know this.

i think this would be an issue (not just on the political spectrum. a lot of these accounts get paid based on their following and if the following #s got "real", it would re-set the market), but it's a minor one
you don't need to censor "bad" views if the echo chamber makes them less popular. the issue is how they define "bad", as it's largely partisan and unequally applied. Twitter and FB, specifically, could "kill the head" by eliminating the fake accounts
Youtube doesn't have the "fake account" issue but has the same partisan-censorship issues. if you can eliminate the fake account issue, then YT, FB, and Twitter are all on even playing ground to be analyzed for their potential partisan editorializing

They can be responsible for all of it, or none of it. Their choice. As it stands, they have made themselves responsible for muting opposition to the policies and directives of the socialist democrat party.
