Right. He has no other avenues of communication available... Even TV stations have to cut away from his nonsense, should that be illegal?

- naasking 6y agoSo your argument is that this isn't a big deal because POTUS has other communication media available, but then proceed to immediately contradict yourself by saying that those media also censor POTUS. Whether this should be a legal requirement, I can't say. But it does seem pretty clear that if POTUS is speaking to the public, the public should be able to hear the message if they choose, regardless of whether you personally dislike the message or POTUS.
- CharlesW 6y ago> …the public should be able to hear the message if they choose, regardless of whether you personally dislike the message or POTUS. Ours is a capitalist democracy. It's meaningless whether people "dislike" the message or the messenger, at least until it affects audience or advertisers.
- naasking 6y agoMaybe it should be, but the very fact that we're discussing whether social media companies should be censoring their elected president demonstrates that it's not meaningless.
