"MSNBCs Mika Brzezinski on Wednesday demanded that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey take action after President Donald Trump once again used the platform to level baseless accusations of murder against her husband.
Jack, please take my call today, she wrote. Please stop allowing your platform policies to be abused by the day. Its called libel.

Fuck Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Google and all the rest of the rest of them.
Social media IS the disease people, it is why Trump can and does exist.
Wake up.
Delete accounts.
Re-engage with reality, not their controlled BS version of profiteering on YOUR data without compensation.

(10,429 posts)No reason to. I guess those people who refuse to give them up don't have email. Or telephones. Or other internet. Because those things keep me in touch with anyone I need to be.

(15,316 posts)are the DU folks that say we can't do anything about propaganda radio on 1ST Amendment grounds.
I guess those stations have a right to call the majority of the people in their community un-American scum, but those same people aren't allowed to use protests or boycotts to tear those local stations down to the studs.

(9,895 posts)Mindlessness, stupidity and insipidness define Facebook and Twitter and the majority of other social media sites, IMO. I do not find those to be places to have informed discussion....more like high school yearbooks and scrap-booking come to life.
As for comparing DU to 4Chan, are you taking medical advice from Trump and dosing on Hydroxychloroquine or injecting disinfectants and bleach? That comparison is offensive and puts the good people I find here every day in cohort with some of the most reprehensible people on the fucking planet.
I completely reject that in every imaginable way.
For clarification, I used Twitter solely as a way to insert criticism and invective against Donald J. Trump into the national archives as EVERYTHING from his Twitter account will be memorialized in the National Archives and/or his presidential library in the future. I find that site to be a total wasteland and its administrators to be hypocrites of the highest order. In case there was some kind of confusion on my feelings about Twitter...

(25,518 posts)Personally, she makes me a little bit sick to my stomach in general. She has a little right given her suck ups to various utter and complete assholes over the years to complain about her husbands rumors.
I would only state for the record that she is clearly an exceedingly complex psychological or possibly psychiatric person given her upbringing. She has manifest her mild to moderate disturbance on many occasions on the show, and it is only because she Was related to an international person of distinction, whether you liked him or not, that she had the career that she had. If she had not been related to her father, and you know what I mean by that, she wouldve been in South Bend Indiana or Amarillo Texas doing the 11 oclock news on weekends.
I dont often say this, but if I were a therapist I would love to have her for a patient. One can only imagine all the forces upon her over all these years. As I said in the beginning, I make no excuses for her, But she is an example of what happens when individuals air their personal laundry on the TV machine. It never goes well.
