There’s simply no reason to trust Mark Zuckerberg and other tech leaders to get these big decisions about free speech right. Let users decide instead. https://bit.ly/39jXNsZ https://twitter.com/techreview/status/1348962641755176960 #Tech #MIT

This included big surges in India, where downloads went from 12,000 to 2.7 million, the UK (from 7,400 to 191,000) and the US (63,000 to 1.1 million).
Huge Jump for the Uk even though here we only have to accept the change as they can't actually share the data due to GDPR
So is the s
surge due to
1. People not realising this
2. People having friends who have moved
3. People not liking the change anyway.
4. Combo of the above
Would be interesting to see data from other parts of the EU too.
@newsbot In some ways does this sends a far more powerful message than any amount of regulation ever will. ?
Who is more powerful, a platform or the users that platform depends on ?
@zorinlynx I agree there, we need access to the actual news.
Maybe regulation can be used to, ensure facebook et al pay their taxes which could be fund legitimate media sources, removing the need for pay walls.

Anyone else think that in times of national crisis, legitimate media sources should drop their freaking paywalls so they don't lose viewers to conspiracy-pushing right-wing sites that don't have such paywalls?
I mean, leave it up for the sports section if you want, but c'mon!

I think he has tried to distance himself from Trumps support of the insurrection, he has probably had enough and what happened was the final straw.
@TonyStark @NatashaRomanoff@democracy.town @MariaHill @sullybiker
Agreed, sorry if I mis-understood something, along the way here.
Out of interest, if they do impeach president Trump, are there any emergency powers that can be put in place to help the authorities not only deal with this on the ground, but enable the courts to act swiftly and robustly against anyone who tries more of this insurrection.

Facebook Warns Employees Not to Wear Company Gear In Public After Banning Trump https://gizmodo.com/facebook-warns-employees-not-to-wear-company-gear-in-pu-1846040220

That was never my intention defend the de platforming of anyone.

It's always good to know what the facts are. The person who originally sent this idea out had good intentions, but missed a couple of key points.
Banning -45 from a 2024 run would take House impeachment and Senate removal, not just impeachment. Some of the other points need minor corrections.
At any rate, he needs removed. It’s not about the 8 days - it’s about letting our country and the world we aren't standing for it.
Today is a good day to call your U.S. Senators and House Representative and tell them to support impeachment. #RemoveTrump
Fact check: No, impeachment itself would not ban Trump from a 2024 run -

No, of course not, I am equally concerned as others as to the reach of Big tech
