    Executive order to enforce a private company to cease business operations within the USA is absolutely 100% within the authority guidelines of a U.S. President as per the Cons ution.

    Nothing to see or complain about here.
    Could you cite that part the Cons ution?

    lol @ success.

    He should definitely do that though. I think Twitter would be much better for it.
    Success or failure is how it should be read. I wasn't calling them a success.

    I support Twitter extending fact-checking footers to other users as well. They should do whatever they can to prevent falsehoods like this from being spread. The President is a good place to start, given his reach and his position. You guys would complain about fact checks on Dear Leader regardless of how many were subjected to it.
    They aren't fact checking. They are injecting their opinion.

    Article II of the U.S. Cons ution vests executive powers in the President
    , makes him the commander in chief, and requires that the President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Laws can also give additional powers to the President.
    While an executive order can have the same effect as a federal law under certain cir stances, Congress can pass a new law to override an executive order, subject to a presidential veto.


    (Good luck getting 67 Senators to override a veto to the rejection of an executive order. )

    That's not a citation from the Cons ution. That's wikipedia. And it doesn't even support your contention.

    i agree that pics like that should be fact checked, but i would assume their dedicated staff focuses on accounts with larger followings/reach. i dont know who the people are that supposedly tweeted that pic, or how many views/clicks they've gotten
    I'm going to assume they'll treat conservatives like Dems treated New York blacks under stop and frisk.

    That's what Trump is trying to do and it's fine by you.

    Twitter doesn't care about the truth. They are injecting opinion on top of the opinion of others. They are attempting to alter the outcome of the election.

    This is why big tech is a threat to our country

    This was another great leap towards the inevitable division of the United States.

    So you're against free speech now? And you apparently think Twitter's "opinion" is more persuasive that Trump's if you think it will alter the outcome of the election.

    The only way forward in the face of leftist authoritarians running social media is for other platforms to emerge. This will accelerate the divide in this country. This is the path to the inevitable division of the US. You people lack foresight.

    Even if that was the case... Commentary on a statement by the leader of the free world?

    Oh no! What kind of crazy dystopia have we become??

    You lack perspective and only seek to confirm your bias.

    If they were leftist authoritarians, they would censor Trump or ban him altogether. Right wing propaganda and fake news spreads further and better than ever before, explicitly BECAUSE of social media.

    You're such a whiny little .

    lets assume just for the sake of argument that we agree about the first two sentences.

    do you have an issue with corporations attempting to alter the outcomes of elections? should companies not be able to endorse candidates or run ads? should they be allowed to make campaign contributions? why is social media the exception?

    they're not foreign agents or foreign governments. what's wrong with americans trying to influence the outcomes of elections? thats what campaigns are all about

    There is plenty of commentary in the comment section. You are a proven liar so nobody should be surprised at you trying to distort reality.

    Corporations influencing elections is one of those things Nathan will probably say “everyone knows is wrong” as justification for why he’s constantly ing about Twitter while he’s never ing about the Koch Brothers having politicians in their back pocket.

    The dirty south broken off from the part of America that pays the bills would certainly be one of them.

    one must be devoid of personal opinions to be a fact checker?
