    Xwitter and other media companies should be regulated under the FCC, not sure if they actually are.

    The FCC only has a policy prohibiting news distortion, but no “law, rule, or regulation.” So, media channels have free will to lie and exaggerate news to the American citizens.

    Fox News won this court battle in 2003, said it was their 2nd amendment right to lie. And it has been a literal bullshit-show in America ever since.

    This was not an accident by the Supreme Court, they are actively working on removing democracy from our government ever since they intervened with the 2000 election.

    They are very close.

    He tried to pump and dump twitter, then was forced to buy it. He immediately shifted to using it as a political tool to sell to local and foreign governments to interfere with public opinion and sow disinformation.

    It’s about time he gets called out

    Yeah, no kidding. Meanwhile, nearly everyone with any ability to actually do something about it seems to be standing back and standing by or just straight up giving donnie every possible assist in snaking his way back into office (against the will of most Americans and nearly all normal Americans).

    Trumptards took over Clubhouse without the backing from the CEO. It’s a collective strategy, and not one man’s bigotry
