    i doubt that. There are always a lot of people on the fence. There are a lot of people on the fence of going out and voting.
    Russian propaganda tried (among other things) to get Hillary leaning voters and blacks to stay home.

    You're trump-haters hillarious. LOL

    conviction against russians unidentified hackers who posted on facebook
    and guilty pleas about non paid taxes

    And that's after 4 years non stop propaganda and conspiracy theories of all kinds on all mainstream and social media

    and compare current election when facebook by itself chose side
    and basically it's crystal clear 2020 elections were anything but the honest

    (I must be banned now for unproved consipracy theories)

    by the way - you have to admit Russian are extremely restrained given what USA does to undermine Russia
    even hijacking presidential election would be quite mild reaction
    Too bad Russias didn't try even that

  4. I agree. I am one of the 74 million. Censoring is not acceptable - ever.

    Deciding to kill off up to roughly 50% of one's US subscriber base by exhibiting strong politically-inspired censorship is not a smart business decision unless you believe you can make up for that in some other way. Twitter is about to take a huge hit in daily active users. I don't know how much you know about internet businesses, but that's probably the most important metric for a social media company. Plus the hypocrisy is blatantly obvious. So Facebook decides to ban Ron Paul who never said anything even close to advocating violence, but yet they allow the Iranian leader who publicly advocated for the eradication of all Jews multiple times, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to keep his Facebook presence? This is ridiculous. Everyone not utterly blinded by partisan politics should be able to see this. Even Poland is set to make censoring social media accounts illegal and people on the left like Angela Merkel and Jimmy Dore have condemned the censorship. And as I mentioned previously, even the Android and iPhone news alerts are incredibly biased against Trump. Here's a notification that I received yesterday:

    upload_2021-1-16_10-39-15.png

    How is that news? I get a news alert from Google pushing the propaganda arm of the DNC, CNN, reporting about, literally, a joke made by a late night TV host with a very small audience. Meanwhile, on the same day, Trump received Morocco's highest award for the Middle East peace deals, something far more newsworthy, and it gets completely ignored. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...d-for-middle-east-work-official-idUSKBN29K2GK

    I never see any news alert for something positive Trump (or any Republican in general) did, only negative. But I get news alerts about jokes mocking Trump. And now I just got another "news" alert about AOC being scared of her GOP colleagues. Are people really too stupid to recognize the bias? But going back to your point, I agree with you. It is a business decision. Tech companies have decided to become not only the propaganda arm of the DNC (which they have been for a while), but after the Georgia win and consolidation of power behind the Democrats, they have now decided to engage in censorship in exchange for monopolistic protection. They believe that if they do the dirty work, they will be protected.

    The Muller report found that Russians were using social media in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election as well as possibly hacked into computer systems associated with the Clinton campaign and released stolen documents. US has a history of interfering in other countries elections and it should be no surprise that other countries will try to interfere in our elections. This will happen in the future as well. Trump never met with the Russians and the report found no evidence of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and any foreign governments. If the foreign agents told the Clinton campaign that they had dirt on Trump, the Clinton campaign would take the call or more likely, simply refer the agents to their PR departments - CNN, MSNBC, or any other member of the mainstream media. You would have to be an idiot to think they would do otherwise. But I didn't bring up any of this because even if the Muller Report had uncovered widespread conspiracy, it would still be complete speculation that it changed the outcome of the election as Pelosi claimed. She made a completely speculative statement that undermines the trust in our electoral system, but she gets a pass, no warning labels on her tweets even after 3+ years. And in any case, as I pointed out above, nothing the Russian could do compares to the propaganda outlets of the DNC - media and big tech.

    I'm not your secretary. Do you know how to use a search engine? Stop being lazy and look up your own data. What I posted was the first result that came up in Google. My original claim was not about senators, but people in the Dem party who hold the most influence. Pelosi, Schumer -- leaders of congress and most of the last Dem primary (the younger candidates quickly dropped out)...full of old people who have been in power decades.

    You claimed that many Republicans were complaining that Obama was too young and then tried to project / generalize that onto me. See if you can figure out how to use Google and look up the definition of projection. Maybe you can figure it out.

  6. I recall reading something last year, that Trump was responsible for about 25% of Twitter traffic, if you considered all the followers he had, the comments created by others and the retweets he created.

    It's not a good idea to shoot yourself in the foot, and potentially eliminate 25% of your webtraffic.

    small correction. Ayatolla Ali Khamenei has the facebook account; Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini died in 1989.
