Trump should start a web hosting service for Parler and other free speech apps. We need an uncensored version of Youtube and Facebook
add subtitles please
You are pushing the Democrats' koolaid.
Censorship and propaganda.
WARNING: SELL TWTR STOCK, without Trump it will be worthless. It doesn't even pay a dividend and it is NOT A GROWTH STOCK. Trump put Twitter on the map, without him it will die. SELL SELL SELL or be sorry.
Out of sight, out of mind. They are a genius.
Jack Dorsey is a💩
Twitter is done sell sell sell
OH NOOO!!!! ALL THE SOURCE FOR COMEDIANS ARE GONE!!!!! WHAT THEY WILL DO NOW!?!?!
The twitter ban on 45 is bad because it highlights just how political big tech has become. It also confirms that big tech are now publishers acting for globalist scumbags. YT banned someone i know because they called out the ppl who cannot be named.
In China Baidu & WeChat. In Russia Yandex,TamTam,Telegram,Agent… Every country must have own independent social nets & messengers. All servers must be in our own countries. Facebook Twitter r Satanist. Boycott Facebook Twitter !!! Stop Satanist & cencorship !
I made it about 2 minutes in and realized your bias was anti-American and you're nothing more than a mouthpiece for accepting government censorship.
TWTR stock down 18.78% over the last month. No freedom of speech TWTR worthiness. SELL SELL SELL SELL!!!!!!!!
Thanks for mentioning India .World's largest democracy has World's largest propaganda machine.
It took trump to shake up social media
Tik Tok banned Trump , before Trump can ban Tik Tok officially ……… 🤣
Due to covid travel restrictions. All international regime changes and coups will be held locally.
Love refreshing alJazerra coverage , a pearl of Middle East .
The problem isn't that he had a platform, it's that he had people foolish enough to listen to him. Clearly, those people didn't get the help they needed when their minds were developing. We need to do better with future generations.
I hope Trump and his idiot sons are band from any social media platforms ever again. They insite HATE speech, they do not have the brain capacity to differentiate between hate and expressing ones self. Oh…and they're always right.
Muslim, hindu, christian budh all religion pepole love Narendar modi, this love show modi 2019 judge election victory. Without muslim support modi never win.
Next will be Biden Harris. Twitter and Facebook will run the country and if you don’t like it they will just turn you off. 2021 here we go.
Bye Bye Marxism
TWITter FAKEbook and Gogle
Bias Censorship BYE BYE ……. the way of 'GILLETTE'
TWITter FAKEbook and Gogle are going down the plughole….. the beginning of the end.
dont forget: he wasnt banned for actually writing/inciting violence: he was banned because what he wrote MAY HAVE BEEN interpreted wrongfully by others. WTF IS THAT???!!!!!
Life was better before Social Media, now its a race to the bottom.
turkey keep 4million and u have just 15000
talking about turkey u blind idiot
I didn't thought Al Jazeera is part of Main Stream Media – now it is..So what you see MSM in the US is rehashed here. Lol! So much for ALJazeera.
So now we're arguing that American capitalism is an impediment to free speech? How is this real? We've just spent 40+ years arguing that American capitalism is the global guardian of free speech, and now suddenly it's the villain?
These discussions around free speech aren't deep, it's people postulating their feelings in an absence of logic or accountability.
I Request To International Media
Please Cover Tractor Parade OF Farmers
26 Januaryon In Delhi India
MODI (Central) Government Buy most of indian News Channel They Never Show The Reality
International Media Please Help Farmers
And Show The Truth.
They're just erasing evidence
Twitter ought to be band for good, regardless of which side of politics you are. It is a tool that destroys human relationships due to human fallibility in communication.
Agolf tWittler doesn’t respect rules & laws so tWitter being a private company can throw him off its platform.
It is like taking away the heroin from a drug dealer, good job
Free-Trump !
Would Hitler been allowed a Twitter account
why not banned India Hitler the most liar PM of India who popular just by mis using social media and paid expert they made a BJP IT cell to hide all Modi crimes and wrong decision and always admire about him in public
Yes it is fair. The would deserves a break from the orange fools idiocy.
Deplatform Zuckerberg & Dorsey, Bezos. Boycotted Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Amazon years ago, best decisions I made.
There should line or a limit for free speech.
Glad he is off Twitter and out of the White House. He was nothing short of a disaster for the U.S. while being a gift for Russia. Only thing he got correct was dealing with the FILTHY CCP Mongrels. He was becoming the very thing he was trying to supposedly protecting us from. SMH 🙄. He was unfit from the beginning. Racial tension worsened while political divides widened. Good riddance.
Trump is a coup leader. Discuss.
Too little too late. Twitter gave this imbecile an unfettered means to deliver his madness.
You cant have a welfare state/socialized healthcare with open borders and mass immigration.The only people who benefit from it are the rich (Cheap labor), yet it is the Left that pushes it.
why do people keep saying he incited violence when his words cant be taken as an incitement to violence and only a call to gather and protest?
Social media should only be used to destabilize other countries. Very interesting of the 21st century.
I am one of the first
No wars from Trump means the USA political elite are not getting their palms crossed with silver.
Hold fast countries of colour that have G old O il D rugs because thats what they worship and they will be coming for you again 😔
can,t talk to young folks anymore ,they have given up privace ,with out knowing….
jamming, Alexander Graham Bell Invention comes a long way to connect people, unang cell phone
