    the Trump admin requested post be removed from Facebook for violating the TOS, the Biden admin does the same

    So such a free speech right would not extend to Facebook, correct?

    So you are now trying too coyishly justify Government interfering in a private social media platform as OK ;)

    Clearly the left, well hopefully not all are as easy to appease as your post demonstrates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Government interfered? By asking? You have to be joking.

    LOL, yaaaaa, just asking :) See how easily it is for folks to embrace fascism when they fail to think for themselves ;)

    What's that old mafia saying "An offer you can't refuse" and in the case of your politician three million offers :)

    You are failing on that point, because I was discussing the thread topic.

    I guess if you had that you'd stop with opinions and throw up links :)

    Or I would revel in your pretense of not knowing about it.

    Oh, daily bro. My life is so empty and incomplete, my ability to understand geopolitical nuances so faint that I watch his show daily. Like every day.

    Have to say being responsible for making decisions on the nation’s health, especially during a generational crisis in health, it was a reasonable request

    This whole Twitter conspiracy is just that, a conspiracy, nearly matches the inanity of the Page/Strzok plot to do in Trump, a dozen phrases pulled from five thousand plus text messages, some phrases two words long, supposedly prove they were out to get Trump

    The Government, even the Trump Administration, has continuously worked with social media platforms over what they considered possibly threatening content on their services, same thing happened here, all innuendo
    framed as fact for right wing media talk shows

    Did Clinton do anything wrong by asking Monica to give him a hummer? He was only asking. Did Harvey Weinstein do anything wrong by asking those women to go to bed with him? He was only asking.

    It’s their little scam. Government censors through private companies and then the regimes lemmings contend that what is happening is the decision of private companies so we must respect capitalism even though the regime did not in pressuring these companies to act.

    Are you saying all the quotes reported are false or simply complaining that it was reported at all and by who actually did so?

    It was a reasonable request to censor a factually true report?
