  Yeah, sure, @Facebook is lot like a supermarket ... except there's only ONE supermarket in town, and they decide who can and can't shop. That's what we call a monopoly https://twitter.com/...

  So terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story of “Smoking Gun” emails related to Sleepy Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in the @NYPost. It is only the beginning for them. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician. REPEAL SECTION 230!!! https://www.cnbc.com/...

  Facebook/Twitter restricting the New York Post's Hunter Biden story is a mess, so I tried to break down the important pieces of it. https://www.theverge.com/...

  The Hunter Biden story looks more and more like a hostile foreign power's effort to influence the US election https://twitter.com/...

  Relax. Twitter and Facebook are not the internet, and they're not the government. These are private companies. A little bit like a supermarket asking you to wear a mask. You can just stay out or leave if you don't like it.

  Our communication around our actions on the @nypost article was not great. And blocking URL sharing via tweet or DM with zero context as to why we're blocking: unacceptable. https://twitter.com/...

  Sen. @tedcruz: “Twitter is actively blocking, right now this instant, stories from the New York Post...on Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee, the full committee, will be voting on subpoenas to subpoena @Jack Dorsey to come before our committee.” https://twitter.com/...

  NEW — U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has formally requested @Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and @Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to appear before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism in a coming hearing titled “Digital Platforms and Election Interference.” https://twitter.com…

  Senate Republicans plan to issue a subpoena to Twitter's chief executive Jack Dorsey over the social media company's blocking of a newspaper article because apparently our elected officials have nothing better to do. https://www.theverge.com/...

• @wolven @wolven on x

  And when it was absolutely shown how Facebook's operations led and still lead to election interference, & they were called to task for it, Republicans cried “censorship” about that TOO. Republican motto continues to be “it's only called ‘cheating’ if it doesn't help repubs win.” …

  This is great and I hope it happens. Those Fox-News swilling jerks will have to hear facts about what's actually going on. https://twitter.com/...

• @profwrightgmu Joshua Wright on x

  I trust the Senator is aware he wrote this on @twitter, not @facebook? This is the equivalent of complaining about the Kroger monopoly while checking out at Safeway. https://twitter.com/...

• @michael_nielsen Michael Nielsen on x

  Something I find fascinating is when people say something (a) high profile; (b) obviously wrong; (c) lots of people point out in comments that it's wrong; and (d) they don't delete or correct or back down. I'd like to better understand what mental models lead to point (d). https:…

  As I told @Varneyco this morning, these dog and pony shows on Capitol Hill are useless: The move by GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee follows the social-media platform's decision to limit sharing of articles relating to the Bidens https://www.wsj.com/... via @WSJ

• @padresj Fr. Robert R. Ballecer on x

  The @GOP won't investigate the STORY itself b/c it's a laughable attempt at election interference. Instead they want to investigate those who blocked it on their networks as a “laughable attempt at election interference.” IOW: “It's BS, but it's OUR BS” https://www.wsj.com/...
