I never understood the brouhaha about the twitter thing and how awful that they did not remove offensive r****t nonsense soon enough. I have never before, nor will I ever use twitter-thus, I cannot be offended, I cannot get all up in the air about when or how they censor anyone. I do not post on those sites, read very little on them-only have an account on FB because friends and family far away have them and send updates. If I do not like the way some business treats me, I simply do not avail myself of that business-same with twitter and the other nonsense out there. They only have all that power because Americans are too candy a$$ to shut them off. I rarely watch much TV-horse racing is always interesting-because I have learned that the cable news networks all have an agenda to push, even sitcoms have propaganda to spew-and there are very few that are truly funny anymore. Mostly they find their humor in trashing some one else, showing that the kids are much smarter than parents, and other such silliness. I do not find that humorous, I find it sad that we have allowed the children in this country, and some of them are in their 70's to be in control.

I'm with you except, these huge social media sites put themselves out there as a public forum and they get special exemptions from congress for being open and t***sparent. Once they begin to censor content they become basically a publisher and should lose their exemptions (230). Having media corporations and Government in a symbiotic relationship is never good. Most media outlets have become nothing but propaganda for the left.
