Big Government Control?

Will Trump try to control companies?

Now I knew that Trump was not a small government conservative, but will he have the nerve to try to use Big Government to make a Company display his lies?

It will be humorous if Trump removes their liability protection and in answer to that they clamp down even further on what content we can share on their systems.  Either way I think Trump is just going to lose even more voters if he tries to add "regulations" on our favorite businesses.

I mean what does a normal customer do if they do not like the policies of a service provider...  Go find a different service provider...  I mean if Trump's wants to publish lies and conspiracy theories all he needs to do is set up a web page of his own.

By the way, apparently Zuckerberg is a big chicken who is willing to help propagate lies and conspiracy theories.  I suppose he is worried that Big Government Regulation Man Trump may try to interfere in his company.

Of course Trump needs something to help people forget that he promised COVID was a big nothing burger in February and now it has killed 100,000+ Americans.  And the fact that if he had acted earlier tens of thousands of Americans would still be alive.

I think Trump is trying to influence the Washington Post owned by Jeff Bezos, but not by Amazon, by his attacks on Amazon. Part of the problem with that is that Trump is extraordinarily inept at it.

Remember the famous words of "Emperor Trump"...

"When somebody’s the president of the United States, the authority is total,"

I like this guy, Too bad Trump will not learn about leadership and accepting responsibility

"In his tweets Wednesday, Dorsey also said he takes ultimate responsibility for decisions made by Twitter and asked people to "leave our employees out of this." Earlier Wednesday, Trump's two elder sons and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pointed to tweets made by Twitter employee Yoel Roth in 2016 and 2017 as evidence of Twitter's alleged bias against the president.

"There is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that's me," Dorsey said. "Please leave our employees out of this. We'll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make."

"So will Congress act on the bias charges?

Any GOP-led effort to address bias allegations by amending Section 230 would be dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled House, and has failed to pick up any significant backing even in the Republican-led Senate. That campaign has even faced opposition from conservative officials and advocacy groups that largely want Washington to keep its hands off the internal decisions of private companies.

“I want to be very clear: I’m not for gutting Section 230. It’s essential for consumers and entities in the internet ecosystem,” Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) said at a hearing on the legal shield last year. “Misguided and hasty attempts to amend or even repeal Section 230 for bias or other reasons could have unintended consequences for free speech and the ability for small businesses to provide new and innovative services.”"
