ACLU Warns of ‘Unchecked Power’ After Facebook, Twitter Suspend Trump

Kyle Morris 9 Jan 2021

A legislative counsel member from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has issued a rebuke after Facebook and Twitter decided to suspend American President Donald Trump from their platforms.

Kate Ruane, a senior legislative counsel at the ACLU, released a statement condemning Facebook and Twitter’s decision to suspend Trump, warning against “unchecked power” and the precedent it sets for other activists.

“For months, President Trump has been using social media platforms to seed doubt about the results of the election and to undermine the will of voters,” Ruane stated, further saying the actions taken by tech giants should “concern everyone.” He added:

We understand the desire to permanently suspend him now, but it should concern everyone when companies like Facebook and Twitter wield the unchecked power to remove people from platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions – especially when political realities make those decisions easier.

Although I'm a member of both Fakebook and Twister, I frequent neither one. I joined Twister to look at basketball videos. But since I refuse to watch pro basketball games (the reason I joined), I don't go there.
 I don't frequent Fakebook because I pretty much don't care what some mother's little brat did at her birthday party or where she went on vacation. I'm talking about my family member's children. I don't want to look at baby pictures. I don't want to read my aunt's inspirational messages. I don't care how many fish Uncle Fred caught on his trip to Black Flies Lake. Sorry.
What in the world did we do before these things were thrust upon us twenty some years ago? We survived without them pretty good, didn't we?

If one pairs this "warning" up with five bucks, one can buy a cup of burnt coffee from Starbucks. 999yawn

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
