Title: Is Trump losing Twitter followers a major concern of yours?
Post by: corbe on April 24, 2019, 05:04:41 pm: Conway on Twitter meeting: Trump is concerned about people 'losing followers'

By Emily Birnbaum - 04/24/19 12:04 PM EDT

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday said President Trump is "very concerned" about people "losing followers" in response to a question about his meeting the day before with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

"The presidentâ€™s very concerned about what he sees as losing followers or people being blocked from certain actions," Conway told reporters outside of the White House. "Thatâ€™s obvious. Some of you have bothered to cover it."

Trump during the Oval Office meeting with Dorsey on Tuesday reportedly raised concerns that he has been losing Twitter followers, one element of his ongoing allegations that social media platforms â€“ including Twitter â€“ discriminate against conservatives, according to The Washington Post and The Daily Beast.

(Rogan and Rubin are IDW members)

On thie subject of government intervention/involvement/regulation of Social Media platforms, note that Facebook's Zuckerberg recently invited same.

I think dem candidate Warren has spoken about this topic.

I have no doubt of that... you often pose the choices very cleverly though @corbe, often not leaving a clear choice... forcing me into selected the "best" choice out of a set of crappy alternatives... that is indeed a true art!
