Last week's news.

Nobody gives a shit anymore, The kid missed, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

EVERYONE gives a shit, including you. It's why your stupid ass is in this thread, and it's why FB & Google are going Orwellian on innocent people.

You CLAIMING "everyone knows 'it' happened" without a cite falls on deaf ears.

Are you claiming everyone knows Musk fired Lemon from his show on X?

You do understand that it is your insistence that I prove recent history that led me to believe you live in a fantasy world? Don't you?

Politico...and ultra left wing rag:

The way progressives interpret the phrase “free speech” has changed. Musk says he wants to make Twitter a haven for “free speech” on the internet. But when progressives hear Musk advocate for free speech, they think less of John Stuart Mill’s marketplace of ideas and more of the kind of talk you hear on Joe Rogan’s podcast.  Over the past two years in particular, Musk has embraced a narrow and specific understanding of free speech. It’s one that’s shared by other powerful people who have built a brand on heterodox thinking, like Rogan. Call it the “just asking questions” philosophy, or maybe “Roganomics.”

But, let's start a poll, see if everyone knows.

I sure don't know WTH you're talking about. Do you have a point?

Start with the basics: 

Are you claiming everyone knows Musk fired Lemon from his show on X (for bad mouthing Musk)?

"It depends on the meaning of 'IT'. " LMAO

No, it makes me look like what I said: your DRVEL is incomprehensible.

I know you believe what you wrote is clear, but it's NOT.

Lol...ok...so you denied that libs started hating Elon when he bought Twitter. Now you are denying that you denied.

I don't think I'm the one that is confusing or unclear. You don't even know what you said. Don't come after me about clarity when you can't even remember what you posted a few minutes ago.

Ok... I also saw something that said Twitter took down some Harris support group. 

 

You see me on here saying it's a conspiracy?  I do say that private mitigation of the public sphere is generally a bad idea. How about you?

Thanks for your reply. 

Can you please let me know specifically what you disagree with? 

It does appear that Facebook is suppressing photos of Trump's assassination attempt. It doesn't seem like they are doing it because it's disinformation?

What's your new dipshit theory, herbie? 

"There was no assassin? No bullet?"

I never know what level of stupidity you guys are operating at. Your IQ is so far down there that you all look like ants.

Individuals deciding what the public sees, ie. The CEO of social media companies.  CBC at least does it by committee...

There was no assassination, just an attempt. News starts with NEW so it ain't news anymore it's over. No conspiracy to uncover, move on.

ahem. From the us papers today:

 

Secret Service Acting Director Testifies on Attempted Assassination of Trump | C-SPAN Classroom

IT's still in the news, it's still being talked about, it will be revived at the appropriate time,   it is what it is, pls cope.

Right, an assassination attempt.

So there's a Trump assassination to ask Alexa about. 

And the point is that the situation is being downplayed. Just like the the BLM violence was downplayed. Just like the shooting at the baseball game was downplayed. Just like the Afghan debacle was downplayed. Just like the horrible economy is downplayed. Just like the Fentanyl crisis is downplayed. Just like covid deaths and hospitalizations were exaggerated in 2020 and 2021 and downplayed in 2022. 

Buddy, the "news" you watch is toxic and m0r0nic. If you're not a handler/liar then your IQ is approximately 24.

The meaning if 'IT'. Man, do you try to be stoopid? Don't you realize anyone who reads your drivel, laughs at you?

Have you no shame?

Honestly, are you being obtuse, or did you not know what people were claiming about Google's manipulation of things?

Would you stop with the conspiracies?

It is not a conspiracy to ask if you are being obtuse about knowing about the subject being discussed here or not. 

You provided a link to a completed search as if that somehow disproved the topic of discussion, when the claims being made by people were about how the Google algorithm auto completed your sentence when typing in the search terms...

Google and Facebook are private entities and so are free to do what they wish with their privately owned platforms. If you do not like it... do not use it. Yes, they are ubiquitous but you still have options. The quality of options is not the point.. but I know that certain someones will go down that route. My point is that the options exist. 

[Nationalist]

Lol...Zuckerberg is a weenie.

A devious little weenie.

I use none of his polluted crap and get on just fine.

As for Google and Facebook...

Fck 'em.

Don't be a little b*tch robostain; it's obvious you're ashamed of your party. Perhaps you should capitalize on that moment of clarity and shed the woke.

This forum is a private entity and is free to do as they wish with their platform. Currently, it is a forum for public discussion on a variety of topics. If you don't like it, do not use it. There are a lot of forums out there for you to choose from.

Exactly.  Life can go on without Google and Facebook. DuckDuckGo is a great alternative if you do not want your data mined and sold. I do not care for cable news in any form so guess what? I do not watch it. Easy enough.

I get that Facebook and Google are ubiquitous. What they do has a huge impact. However, it is not a first amendment issue because they are not governmental institutions. And as you know... there are other options. Maybe not the most convenient options but options nonetheless.
