President Donald Trump came to the defense of popular conservative commentators who have been censored by tech companies in a series of 13 tweets and retweets between May 3 and May 4 after Facebook banned several influential figures from its social media platforms the previous day.
Trump warned that he is monitoring “the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms.”
“This is the United States of America—and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF SPEECH!” he said. “We are monitoring and watching, closely!!”
He also reposted commentary on the alleged censorship from several prominent right-wing figures, including The Daily Wire Executive Producer Jeremy Boreing, journalist and activist Lauren Southern, and commentator Paul Joseph Watson—who were among those purged by Facebook.
“So surprised to see Conservative thinkers like James Woods banned from Twitter, and Paul Watson banned from Facebook!” Trump said in another tweet.
They need to be broken up. That is all there is to it.
The left will see this as another reason to hate him (Trump) and call him fascist or something.
Declare them “Common Carriers.”
They, actually, are common carriers.
Forbid them from denying access because of content. On pain of death, or (probably) more frightening to them, on pain of crippling fines (which should be disbursed amongst their victims – with a “little” off the top for the politicians and legal community).
But, the humans need to get serious.

Yeah…I’ve been hearing that shit for a while now. Seeing some kabuki theater with these hearings, then nothing changes. Better do something soon or won’t be saving our elections.
I don’t understand. If a Christian baker is forced to bake a cake for someone why aren’t these business entities forced to do the same?
Facebook and Zuckerberg are true, dangerous enemies of America. I regret being on the platform for about a month about a decade ago. The End for them cannot come soon enough.
BAH! Ban all hate! Next ban those Aunt Toms, Diamond And Silk. Pete in 2020.
