I was wondering if Twitter has had any effect on foriegn elections ?
When you are on someone else’s web page you do not have rights other than the ones the owners of that page say’s you have. You don’t like it? Go make your own site. Trump gets away with murder on twitter. Seems to me they are more than fair when they don’t have to be.
Twitter and Facebook have become public utilities as far as their use in the modern world. Additionally, the accounts used by government officials have been ruled as public channels of communication.
Trump gets away with murder? Twitter allows both pornography AND actual murder footage to be shown, and also continues to host accounts for actual terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Hamas.
@TJL To bad they are not public utilities though and are actually companies. If you do not like their policies and rules you can choose another platform to use or better yet create your own that has rules and policies you like. The government does not have the right to change what a company can and can’t allow on its platform just because they are not happy with it. Why are republicans so inclined for big government to intervene in these companies? I guess they only want small goverment if its something they agree with but big goverment if they don’t and want control over it.
Is he stoned?
He’s an evil lying P…… in my opinion.
Ted scream to protect Trump but wouldn’t protect his wife from verbal abuse by Trump. What a loser.
God Ted Cruz is a jackass. Then again, Twitter was caught red handed in blatant censorship. I doubt the allegations and whether or not the emails were fake, but I would not have censored it. That was a major PR blunder.
“We don’t want Twitter to be a distributor for hacked materials”
eyes doxxing of anyone Antifa disagrees with, some information of which you know was gained through hacking and illegal means
“We blocked that material because we were unsure of its source”
points at trending CNN and MSNBC stories of “Russian Collusion” which had no verifiable source
K, sounds like hypocrisy to me you morons.
Mr Dorsey admits the blocking of the New York Post was a mistake. Yet he also says they were allowed to log into their account , delete the particular tweet, and carry on. If it was a mistake, why do they still have to delete their tweet? Does not make sense.
They ( big tech )don’t want to fix it. They want to figure out how to do it without persecution. I can’t figure out other than with illegal or immoral activity and promises why they always align with democrats. The democrat party is all about more government more power more taxes more, more, more. So what are they being promised to want that? Why aren’t they bothered by corruption in the democrat party? Google in my opinion is the worst. If you google an article or story. Google will post democrat bias media sources on the first / or 3 pages that severely twist the facts of the story. You gotta go to the 4th or 5th page to get conservative view information. More people use google than twitter. More people use google than FB more people use google than YT. I know a lot of people that don’t even have social media accounts but use google numerous times a day. So personally I see google as the biggest THREAT to election interference.
Sure, Cruz is not shorting Twitter stock
Ted you’re a clown so did your father have something to do with JFK Trump said so idiot
TWITTER CEO LOOKS LIKE A DIRTY CLOWN AND A DRUGGY
SEEMS TO ME LIKE A HYPOCRITE
I BET TWITTER KNEW ALL ALONG HE CENSORED
WHATEVER FIT HIS POLITICAL AGENDA!!!
Well said Ted…
Allow them to censor themselves right out of business. I did away with social media 3 years ago. Pretty soon, there will be no need for me to even use the internet.
The problem is greater than that though. This is election season, and twitter thought it was ok to sensor one of the most important newspaper companies, who had one of the biggest scandal stories of all time, and Twitter decided to keep that from the American people.
That’s election meddling, BIG TIME. All of a sudden, all 3 of these companies just start going insane on the censorship.
The window of timing is the problem. If we are under some communists thumb within the next 2 months, it won’t matter that they didn’t get your money… If we are under some communists thumb, then it was ENTIRELY these 3 scumbags fault. They need to get hit in the wallet super hard and right now!
This guy should be open to civil law suits and not treated as a platform rather as a publisher that engages in editorial activities.
He is lying under oath and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Too late.
The “Media” in our Country is ABSOLUTELY CORRUPT! They will back the Democrat over the Republican candidate Ever single time! IT’S PATHETIC! How can you believe what you hear, see, or read from them? YOU CAN’T!
VERY SAD PEOPLE!
It’s called socialism!!! That’s what we get for not teaching this in our schools! Hitler censored also!!!
War is peace, freedom is slavery, censorship is inclusion.
Jack Dorsey ” We at Twitter using our social media network can’t interfere with an election” But apparently Russian bots using the exact same media network can…. Let that sink in for a moment…
Body language basics – looking down when responding to a question means lying – feeling guilty.
That’s our Ted “Two Guns” Cruz. Don’t mess with Texas baby.
Jack is suffering from a superiority complex. Because he has a platform we are reliant upon, the power has corrupted his mind beyond his own sense of reasoning.
I wonder how Jack sleep tonight after he was grill after that incident ??
Are BigTech the new East India Companies?
William Dalrymple, The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company
Ted Cruz should go for the Presidency once again.
All 3 CEO’s should be tried for TREASON and thrown in to a cold dark cell for the better part of the rest of their lives!
Twitter suspended my account right after I shared a post about the Hunter Biden laptop. I have sent a report to Twitter but have yet to hear from them.
I’m sure they’re busy😳😁🤣
#%&&% All these social media apps
ted cruz looks goofy
This man was warned a long time ago and continues every day to lie, trick and hide facts from his twitter followers. How can we make the best decisions for ourselves and our family based on lies?!!! Something is wrong with him to think what he is doing is not dangerous to him and our country!
Take away their protection and Sue them to Hell!!!
Hes trying to explain how the new York times can repost what they shared before and the reported doesn’t let him explain…
We should pay them back with their own games.
Block your Twitter and Fb account for one WEEK TOTAL silence GAME ON GAME OVER !!
Ted Cruz just crash jack Dorsey Party’ of content blocking😭
Ted Cruz is an idiot. Twitter is a private company, not a government agency. They don’t owe anyone a platform.
Twitter is being responsible.
Ted Cruz is just trying to legitimate that stupid laptop propaganda.
Why does he keep squinting? I am so ashamed that I was ever one of the cool kids.
Shut twitter down. We always talk about improving the world and closing social media would do it drastically.
Why does Dorsey look like a stand-in for Dumbledorf (for millennials) or Svengoolie (for the older gens) !!
They don’t show an anti-conservative bias. Republicans would be nothing without twitter or Facebook Google YouTube.
This post is biggest republican echo chamber. HAHAHAHA!
Ted Cruz putting more effort into slamming Twitter than he did standing up for his wife and father when Trump slanders them. As to Ted’s moronic question of who elected Dorsey, that would be the board of directors and shareholders of Twitter, as per the form of capitalism we have that Ted loves so much.
Look at his pinhole pupils. Dorsey is clearly taking drugs. That’s why he appears so laid back.
You’re a conservative right? That’s why you say that, right?
It’s about time to put some brakes on this out of control crazy train of censorship and manipulation of truth and lies, these men are liers, a judicial committee needs to slap their hams, joe publics intelligence has grown exponentially over the past few years, and can make up its own mind without these muppets doing it for us.
Look at Dorcys’ eyes when he answers. Creepy. I will cross the street if he is coming my way..
Sometimes you get it and sometimes you get got. Roasted!
Absolutely, BIG TECH is the signal biggest threat to America, with media right on their coat tails. Enforce anti-trust laws!
Twitter, Facebook, Google and YouTube are As dangerous for the free world as the Chinese Gouvernement
Absolutely, 100%!
Never really was a Ted fan, honestly didn’t know much about him. But hey I could get behind him in this battle and stand with him on his view of them 3 social media dictators that run the only 3 monopoly of media. They have way more media-ship than fox or CNN or any CBS television Does. 📺 TV doesn’t have human interactions and forums to debate on. People have Tvs to stare at CNN and do nothing. I feel like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Trump all that. Screw all them companies 🙄
Is that twitter guy a jihadi?
Twitter CEO want himself look exactly like communist Karl Marks, so he has very denger mind to make USA communist country.
Very denger young man with a lot of power.
Senat, please take him down asap fast.
In Spain twitter is totally controlled by the extreme left. They close accounts by hundreds. Besides, how the f.k this idiot can say twitter can’t infuence elections? That’s a straight lie!
Social media needs to just go away. It’s clearly has gotten too corrupt and has been un-checked on its influence for quite sometime.
Dorsey, hit that bong a little too hard this morning
market is a voting machine. next time somebody ask you who the hell elected you!?
tell them the market?
Don’t forget YOUTUBE !
They are censoring and banning Trump Supporters daily
YouTube is a LOW DOWN DIRTY INFECTED PUSIE
THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
YOU TUBE CHINA KOCKZOCKER ASWELL
What are the consequencess for BigTech? There’s a whole lotta hoopla and bravado from Senator Cruz, but so what? Stop, or I’ll tell you to stop. Good golly, such strong language and piping fierce rhetoric from Senator Cruz, and with what result? Only Lundsey Graham can do less. Or wait, there was once a member of the House, Rep Trey Gowdy, a quitter, a feckless, toothless tiger. Putzes.
Shut twitter down
Rough men have always stood ready to do the work Churchhill stated. It is time for us to sleep safely in our beds again, regardless of what FACEBOOK, TWITTER, FAKE NEWS, CROOKED INTEL AGENCIES, and LEFT EXTREMISTS attack us with…
Mr. CRUZ, you and our other friends who speak out for our free speech, it is time to call forth these ROUGH MEN…and allow them to do their work.
Thank you Ted Cruz you are the man. You are saving our democracy thank you. Jack Dorsey I hope you have seen the error in your ways
Twitter bloqueó mi cuenta porque comparti informacion acerca del Laptop de Biden…Esta gente es mentirosa, empezando or el CEO porque siguen censurando descaradamente.
Freak looks like he has been hiding in the basement with Biden.
Looks like he hasn’t bathed or washed his hair in months. Nasty
Breaking news: hobo drinks bottle of night train, wanders into senate chambers, gets grilled by senators.
Hunter Biden and Biden needs to be investigated with money schemes with China and Russia….👍🏻
Dorsey looks like he shared a crack pipe with Hunter Biden. 🤣
Enough of these damn hearings. Strip their 230 protection away already. We want action taken
Cruz you rock
This Dorsey dude is clearly on something his body do not generate naturally….
Dorsey is on drugs? Great questions from senator Ted Cruz!
Parabéns senador ele acha que são dono do mundo 👏👏👏👏
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ted Cruz looks & sounds like suck up.
Twitter exec Dorsey resembles (late) Charles Manson.
Ted Cruz has been a man on a fucking mission after he let that beard grow out
big government bulling business, I’m sure if cruz had a restaurant and I came into it talking crazy that he would ask me to leave. Maybe cruz should try to start a government funded social media where anyone can say anything and see how that goes.
They let Trump lie constantly
You can’t be bias against a true threat everyone would be on the same side, now apply that
They let Trump spread lies and threats and intimadation
They will stop Trump from Twitter
If you don’t like twitter don’t use it. I have never used it and don’t care to use it. Why is Ted the Preacher/god pusher wasting tax dollars on this garbage? Ted needs to stfu.
If you belong to a privately owned forum, of course they have terms and conditions you must abide to and it’s at their discretion what you’re allowed to post. This is silly. Ted thinks he can boss around companies because he’s a Senator, but that’s authoritarianism, if you don’t like a platform then there are lots of alternative platforms to use to get out the GOP propaganda which is mostly bullshit, just like the Democrat propaganda.
It’s funny how Dorsey looks like he is totally on drugs in that very moment. The contrast between Ted’s strong arguments and his incapibility to formulate coherent speech is pretty remarkable and hilarious
Stop focusing on Jacks looks. Instead focus on what he is saying and more so what he is doing. Follow the actions and vote with your time and money. Done give the technocrats your time and money and they will act accordingly. I doubt Americans can do this. They are too addicted to technology.
Like the rest of their genus Varanus, the Nile Monitor lizard and the Rock Monitor lizard stand on their hind legs to monitor their surroundings, hence their name. Ted cruz is a pimp.
Yeah they can post, once they bend the knee and delete a tweet to prove ole Jack’s power is absolute.
You wanna fix the division in the world? Get rid of all “”social”” media.
Twitter’s CEO looks like Stalin, Lenin and Trotsky. A comunist idealist and dictator.
Compared to dorsey at least mark accepted certain parts in a indirect manner
Not saying that it’s right, but when you sign up for an account you agree to these terms. You are using private business services. If you do not like what they are doing, stop using this medium, and switch to another – simple as that.
very upsetting to me and should be to all Americans.
pretty shur he is smoking gonja?
This 3 guys need to looked at this is very concerning just a day aft this questioning twitter blocked a agent border patrol post for a simple saying borders do work, that is absurd remove that sec 230
make them liable that will force then to change.
Cruz is trying to pick up the herd. If he raises his voice does it make it right? I Guess some people believe shouting is a virtue. Can’t resolve problems yelling bullshit.
Death of cash is ILLEGAL! (“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private,” is printed on ALL U.S. currency.)
Rasputin, Data, and Sundar …… Drugs and MK-ULTRA. Congress will get absolutely NOWHERE with them ……..
I didn’t know Osama Bin Laden had a brother named Jack Dorsey ? Who knew ?
Ted Cruz is the perfect person for the response: ok boomer
As soon as Facebook/Twitter/Google give the GOP a free pass, they will not be checked. Ted Cruz & company do not care if it happens to the other side. They were silent after Tulsi Gabbard’s ads were not deployed by Google immediately after her first break-out Democratic debate performance.
They need regulating hard
I guess y’all don’t realize if you delete your lame ass social media accounts these guys would go broke:)
