Twitter calls Trump a liar

[swing_voter]

Trump tweeted about mail-in voting on Monday, claiming there were "big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA." He continued: "Must have final total on November 3rd."

Twitter, in response, placed a label above the tweet saying it "might be misleading," wrote a fact-check below it about mail-in voting, and stopped other users from liking, retweeting, or replying to the tweet.

This is not the first time Twitter has slapped a warning on one of Trump's tweets about mail-in voting. In August, the social-media company placed a "public interest notice" on a tweet that claimed, without evidence, that ballot drop-off boxes were both a "voter security disaster" and "not COVID sanitized."


The decision appeared to enrage Trump, and two days later he signed an executive order aimed at constraining social-media companies that he accused of discriminating against conservatives.

The order was broadly written to allow federal regulators to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, the part of US law that gives internet companies the right to moderate the content on their platforms and offers them legal protection from liability for user-generated content.

Twitter slapped yet another Trump tweet about mail-in voting with a 'misleading' label and stopped other users from retweeting it

Twitter will "significantly reduce" visibility of President Donald Trump's tweet and limit likes, replies, and retweets to it, a company rep said.

Section 230 is the law that says online sites are not liable for what their users post. If Trump is successful in striking down Section 230, websites like debatepolitics.com couldn't remain open because they'd get sued into bankruptcy.

Are you surprised Twitter says Trump is a lying dog?

There should be a standard disclaimer. Trump is a liar, all he says is suspect. His agenda is nefarious, and revenge is his God.

What surprises me is that conservatives do not retaliate against twitters partisan censorship of their opinions.
If i were a member of the twitterverse and they censored something unfairly, I would tweet it out and force them to censor me too. If the millions of people who are angered by twitter did this very simple thing it would overwhelm their system and force them to either stop the attacks on political speech or ban millions of revenue streams for them.

Hell I may just create a twitter account just to see how many people I can convince to do it. Bitching and moaning about it is an exercise in futility. Fight back or STFU about it.

Well Trump is a liar and has long been trying to spread disinformation regarding mail-in voting.

Or, you people could stop lying all the time.

If you can't do that, you could also instead at least stop whining and crying about how you're the biggest most victimized victims ever and go make Conservative Twitter, the social media platform for hoaxes, lies, and moronic nothingburgers.

You could even name it Hunter's Laptop

Yeah, it must suck for disinformation campaigns to keep getting shutdown. What bias!

Difference is that we do not use a 3rd party or AI to parse/censor content. We have rules that state clearly our goals and that our goal is to be unbaised.

No concern here. Other forums that do not allow content from opposing views might have HUGE issues with this.

BTW, right now hearing going on about section 203 as I type this.

There is no way for Trump to “strike down” twitter..

Right back at you about lying....
And why should should we concede any ground to your lot on social media. Conservative voices have as much a right to use the same platforms as do progressives. Theres nothing in the tos that says conservative opinions are not allowed. If social media giants dont want our opinions on their platforms perhaos they should revise their tos to say that. Until then conservatives should flood their platform until they are so overwhelmed they surrender. Force their hand by hitting them where it hurts, their revenues.

The hearing is political theater... The ONLY way to change section 230 is through a change in the law. How much legislation do you expect between now and January?

 

[trouble13]

Yeah, it must suck for disinformation campaigns to keep getting shutdown. What bias!

Disinformation is a subjective term. Anyone who disagrees that something is a piece of disinformation should tweet that information out.

LOL... Is dishonesty a conservative opinion? There are plenty conservatives on twitter without spreading disinformation.

Not really, if someone is lying about something then it's not really all that subjective at all.

You realize your argument comes down to bitching about not being able to lie online unabashedly, yes? You get that's the crux of this "bias" information, yeah? "Twitter keeps labeling our lies as lies......BIAS". That's the arguments.

Twitter is a private company. Free speech only applies to the GOVERNMENT limiting what you can say.

Funny how some of you screamed bloody murder about a bakery having to make a gay wedding cake, but don't want private social media companies to be able to slap a warning on lies...

I don't think that matters. Say you miss one forum member insulting another, say he calls him a child molester. The post is reported but somehow it's overlooked by staff.

You get sued.

Then there's the fear factor, do you want to leave yourself open to liability? Why take the chance?

So you agree that trump should be able to Lie to his fan club, color me Shocked.

Im not a member for that reason and that is an option but if somebody wants to be a member of the twitterverse community they should put down the victimhood stuff and pick up their arms and push back against the discrimination. What your suggestioning is they surrender it over to progressives when they dont need to do that.

Meh, it's very easy for twitter to ban users, its mostly software that does the banning...

You also are not monitizing our data which I think is a legal issue for those other platforms.

 

[trouble13]

So you agree that trump should be able to Lie to his fan club, color me Shocked.

I have multiple problems with what your suggesting.
1. Lying is a subjective word. Just because you dont agree with an opinion does not make it a lie. If 2% of mail in ballots get lost in the mail it could swing the election. Its a valid concern.
2. Yes people are allowed to lie on social media platforms. If you dont like it, make it a crime with a legal binding definition that determines what a lie is instead of just calling any opinion you do not like a lie.

 

[trouble13]

I get it but its also expensive for them to ban people. They are a profit based model that sells their data to advertisers. If they ban millions of people they will feel that finacial impact. It forces them to choose between their pocketbooks and their ideological whims.
