Odd flex. To people who watched CNN in 2020, or MSNBC/NBC, any channel/service owned by Disney, ABC, CBS, etc. their watching time was full of nothing but Democrat ad campaigns, the news pundits were all pro-Democrat, etc. They also cut off Presidential speeches, or refused to air them. To people who watched Fox News, there was a bit more balance, they have/had multiple contributors who are Democrats, but the leaning is more towards the Republican side. To viewers of The Blaze, Daily Wire, Breitbart, RT, etc. the leaning was absolutely Republican, and the advertising was mostly Republican. Why? To influence the outcome of the election.

Do you want all these media and news companies shut down too? Or is it just maybe possible that having outlets that cater to a certain viewpoint can be useful in helping inform people enough to make up their own minds? If you go to Youtube, left-leaning content creators such as The Young Turks and major media companies like CNN are heavily promoted. Go to Rumble, right leaning content creators, politicians, and right leaning media companies are more heavily promoted. Go to Minds or gab or parlor, right leaning speech is heavily favored. Should they all be shut down, since they could influence the outcome of an election?

The point is not, and never was, to make companies impartial. If Facebook/Twitter/Youtube only wants the politics of Democrats allowed, that's fine. If another platform pops up that provides the same service that only wants the politics of Republicans allowed, that's fine too. They aren't the "enemy of the state" in any way. Everyone is allowed to their right to "influence" elections. Every time you discuss politics you're attempting to influence elections. Foreigners who've never been to the US (especially that sauci character) are constantly trying to influence our elections. That's neither wrong, nor illegal. The question, and the ONLY question, is whether Social Media giants such as YouTwitFace, Rumble, etc. should be classed as Utilities, or acknowledged as simple private companies who have the right to freedom of association.



Nobody is required to give air time to POTUS. No element of media. They can choose to do so, or not to do so. Are you going to call CNN the enemy of the state because they cut off a bunch of his speeches, or didn't air them at all?

YouTwitFace did not prevent or alter your vote. You made your own decision on who to vote for, just like anyone else. The fact that YouTwitFace may have altered their content guidelines in a way that could influence you to vote Democrat rather than Republican? Vary out your source material. If you're getting all your information from Social Media, your information level sucks.

Media has been determining what we see and hear from and about our politicians since we became a nation. And their right to do so is engrained in the First Amendment. While inconvenient, that's what it is.

What do you means by a "little visit" ?

I understand you're being realistic, but all I'm really saying is there needs to be way more accountability in the world and I'm sure you agree with that.

Careful, they just want you to dox yourself.
So they can report you.
It's the preferred way of internet cowards.
