This only holds if there were only one bar that everyone went to.
- booi 6y agoare you saying Twitter is the only website on the internet?
- maest 6y agoClearly I am not, and strawmanning me won't help the conversation. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you really did miss my point: Twitter controls access to a very large audience, only rivalled maybe by Facebook. If you get banned from Twitter, you can't easily go and use a competitor. If there were tens or hundreds of Twitters in the world, then yeah, the "being thrown out of a bar" analogy would hold.
- edoceo 6y agoTwitter is not bigger than a head of state calling a presser. That audience is on multiple platform and T-dog is in a position to reach out to ANY media and they'll listen - and distribute.
- dkjaudyeqooe 6y agoWow if twitter is that important you should probably stay in their good books and follow their rules, hey?
- johndubchak 6y agoTwitter also has its Terms of Service and we are all expected to follow those. There have been many that have been banned from Twitter for violent and/or hate speech. What makes the President any different? Why should he get held to a different standard?
- cafard 6y agoThere are many ways for anyone, let alone a president of the United States, to make his views known. He can call a press conference; call into a host on a favorable network; issue a press release. Somehow the 40-odd presidents of the US whose terms ended before Twitter did get themselves heard from.
- maest 6y agoSure, but that's besides the point I was replying to.
- topkai22 6y agoI’ve been to places where there is literally one bar for 60 miles. They still within their rights to throw you out.
