In a post announcing the unprecedented move, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said the risk of allowing Trump to use the platform is too great following the president's incitement of a mob that touched off a deadly riot in the US Capitol on Wednesday.

Zuckerberg says Trump's account will be locked "for at least the next two weeks" but could remain locked indefinitely.

"The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden," Zuckerberg wrote.

The fallout continues

Too late for both FB and Twitter. They help created the monster.

An alternative view of recent events,   ....is that for the last 4 years, LEFTISTS and Cultural Marxists in the U.S. have been engaged in an organised conspiracy to depose president Donald Trump, and to remove him from office.

And now that he effectively has been removed from office [by the concerted conspiracy], .....everyone is following teh mob, and also choosing to 'pile on'.

And now, people [like FB and twitter] are even removing any ability for Donald Trump to any longer express himself, to the American public.



FOLLOWING Donald Trump's OWN FRUSTRATION, AT HAVING THE RECENT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CORRUPTLY FIXED [STOLEN FROM HIM], BY HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES,
Donald Trump has now effectively, been completely, politically neutered, by those involved in the political conspiracy to depose president Donald Trump.

And the 'Pile on' continues to gain support, from those who are now choosing 'to run with the mob'.

Facebook Twitter YouTube and Google
Are now the platforms on which nearly 65% of the population get all their news

Google is certainly a very woke platform an extremely left leaning
YouTube the same
Twitter tolerated trump because he got them billions of views
And therefore he was good for the bottom line
But Jack Dorsey is also a very milksop lefty

That leaves Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg cares about one thing and one thing only
power and profit

As an example Facebook started scanning all photos sent in Facebook messenger
To see if inappropriate images of sexually abused children were being sent
When Facebook discovered to it's horror
70000 images per week were being sent

It immediately declared that for privacy reasons it was going to encrypt all of Facebook messenger
Thereby wiping it's hand of the problem
And making sure it's bottom line does not take a hit

you can look up the appropriate articles in the New York times if you wish
it's ok message is that Zuckerberg is completely unscrupulous

Zuckerberg wants to sell advertising
He wants people to remain on his platform as long as possible
Polarization and people hating each other in comments
So-called flame wars
Are a catastrophe for social cohesion
But are a godsend for Zuckerberg bottom line
People stay on a platform about 5 times as long posting outrage as to posting affirmations
even a casual look at aus politics would reveal l this 2 be true
Facebook has a direct financial interest in polarization
And will continue to promote this

if you think trump was a force for polarization
Zuckerberg is possibly a million times worse

That is complete B/S.

If this was Trump's America,     ....then Trump, or those working on his behalf immediately following the election, would have been able to enforce;

...transparency in the fair scrutiny of the vote counting process in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.  TRUMP WAS NOT ABLE TO.

...transparency in how all 'mail-in-ballots' were certified to be authentic [honest, and legal] votes.  TRUMP WAS NOT ABLE TO.

...transparency in how the software in the Dominion vote counting machines was collating the votes that were being counted.  TRUMP WAS NOT ABLE TO.




BUT IN FACT.....
The Democrat Party machinery were able to hijack all of the organisational processes surrounding of the voting in the presidential election in Pennsylvania, Michigan.
[and perhaps even in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.]

No one can prove they didn't.

Because the Democrat Party machinery, in states where they were in charge of the voting process PURPOSELY shut-out all other persons who wanted to scrutinise the vote counting and organisational processes.

What you've described is entirely Trump's America.

You didn't get the result you wanted and you feel embolden to just make up a new reality where you're the victim, where something was stolen from you, but somehow that's a strong position to hold despite what you've told the lefties who "play the victim" for the last 4 years.

Your normalising of your victimhood into a form of strength is miserably laughable.

Your delusion is Trump's America.

Why is it so wrong?

You must be kidding.

By continuing to support the traitor-in-chief aqua is condoning and encouraging his criminal activities.

People who continue to support him are enabling him.

If he launches another terrorist attack, the people who continue to support him must shoulder some of the blame.

He is a TERRORIST.

Good people don't support terrorists.

My point about Facebook has nothing to do with trump
Trump barely had a presence on Facebook
He was a Twitter man

the point about Facebook is that Facebook make cash dependent on how long they can keep people looking at Facebook

And they have found that the best way to keep people looking at Facebook
Is 2 amp up the polarization
And have as much fighting and outrage as possible
Because people like to hang around and look at that

Facebook could just allow people to post pictures of their cooking creations
but people would be on and off the platform within 3 minutes

Instead Facebook and indeed all social media
And dare I say all mainstream media
Recognise that the way to maximum profits
Is to have people always at each other's throats
That keeps people there endlessly
And that keeps the ratings and the ad revenue maximized

Trump had absolutely nothing to do with designing that system
And let's be frank
All media companies have made a fortune off the back of trump
They have done everything in their power to make him appear the most polarizing person they can
Purely and simply because they know that it rates
And ratings = cash in the media world

I started out here in my discussions, at every opportunity reaching across the aisle.

5 years of being handed a lump of poo each and every time I tried I put my hand out, I'm over it.  Those people are not interested in discussion or debate, just proving themselves right with whatever material they can, fake, real or cherry-picked out of context.  So long as they "win", what is real doesn't matter.

I'll take a break until Biden is inaugurated and just act like the rest of you.  It's liberating.

And besides, you'll support Trump's rudeness, applauded it, especially Scoot.  He gets praise for not being PC and telling it like it is.

As for Scoot, he's made it clear the person he is.  I tried with him most of all because I foolishly mistook his weet-bix box psychology for actual insight and a willingness to genuinely discuss Trump.

Whoops!

In the end, there is nothing left of that Scoot.  The only thing that remains is that he supports Trump.  The reasons why no matter how contradictory keep changing just so long as Trump comes out on top.

He's either a troll of a moron.

It's entirely plausible, given his propensity towards horses and anything equine and his love of Trump being on top that he'd relishing the chance to be Trump's knob jockey.

It's the natural conclusion to his frothing over Trump all these years and would explain so very much.  Most closet cases end up hating women as he does and obsessing over young boys and men being strong and manly while at the same time victims of the Matriarchy or feminisation.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.  No need to hide in the closet, it's 2021...

scoot sees certain behaviours in the donald which are worthy of examination and worthy of admiration.

unfortunately , the donald is a little too highly strung.

he has very good gut instincts and he is certainly correct that the establsihment conspired to oust him but he became emotionally uncalibrated and didnt stay true to being a 'superior man".

he let his emotions get the better of him and that is a catastrophe for someone from the noble right.

imagine if the queen threw a tantrum.

it would do terrible reputational damage.

those at the top on the conservative side must have emotional control.

there is a word for those who cant 'master their emotions" and who get easily upset and outraged.

that word is "leftie "  :D :D :D :D

Trump lost a free and fair election. It was not stolen, the only one trying to steal the election is Trump himself. Demanding Georgia "find" over 11000 votes and inciting a crowd to march on the Capitol to overthrow the vote.

dance has exposed how the social media networks are a god send for perverts to stream abuse.
and to avoid bad publicity, the social media giants are necrypting it all, so they dont have to look.

now onto trump.

trump has miscalculated since the election.

he should have declared

"to my 75 million fans, i tried to kick the slats out from under the mainstream media, the establishment and the vested interests in washington. unfortunately they were too powerful.  they have ramped up the fear over covid and said  how contagious it is, how we are all going to die from it.  i could point out that it has run through countries like the phillipines and brazil and indonesia and they arent seeing any piling up of corpses in the streets.  the phillipines, with no conatact racing or PPE saw 8 deaths yesterday. a meagre 8.  so we can see from raw data on the ground, that you are being lied to.
your businesses demolished, your neighborhoods full of homeless people.

i will go on tv and keep you informed as to how the establsihment are lying to you.

you now have a establishment figure of some 40 years , who is in cognitive decline , to lie to you on behalf of these vested interests. he is their marionette.

i am off to play golf and spend time with my quality woman.

i thank you good people of america.

remmeber the left think you are deplorable racists, all 75 million of you.

you owe it to yourselves to become strong powerful and successful.

i suggest you move to florida and texas and tennessee and make these fortresses of conservative success.  work hard, elect republican govenors who lower taxes.

then sit back and watch the liberal states like NY and california be demolished.

this is your best revenge.

make lots of cash, get a nice F250 truck and a quality woman and go drive thru LA and NY and spray meddy water over the liberal losers who voted for president metamucil.  and then come have a game of golf with myself and the first lady and vibe with our awesomeness .


trump should NOT have got reactive to the electoral loss.
he needed to "shift the frame" to the post trump era.

being reactive is being like karnal, skippy and gweggy.
being a bit player in someone elses movie.  you were just "extras" in the donald trump show. totally forgetable  ::)

trump should be the star of his own movie and he needs to start writing the script for the sequel to what has been an extraordinary debut

There is a word for those who can never ever admit they were wrong, take responsibility for their actions and lie about every part of themselves to avoid dealing with the truth of their inadequacies.

Sociopath.

I was wrong.

I said Trump would win the election.

I got it SO wrong.

Anyway, what's he saying on Twitter today?

Oh, that's right:

US President Donald Trump has been allowed to Tweet again, after being locked out of his account for 12 hours.

Posting a more conciliatory message, he refrained from reiterating false claims of voter fraud.

Twitter said that it would ban Mr Trump "permanently" if he breached the platform's rules again.

The move from Twitter puts clear water between it and Facebook, which suspended him "indefinitely" on Thursday.

Twitter has instead given the outgoing president a final warning. ::) ::)
