Edward Snowden And Others Warn Of Consequences To Trump’s Facebook Ban

RT: ‘Turning point in the battle for control’: Edward Snowden, others warn of consequences to Trump’s Facebook ban 

Edward Snowden and others have reacted to news, and ensuing celebration, that Facebook will ban content from Donald Trump for two weeks by warning that giving such power to social media platforms sets a dangerous precedent. 

Many are celebrating the announcement by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg that President Trump will be banned from posting content on the social media platform, as well as Instagram, for at least the next two weeks following violence at the US Capitol – but others are warning that this moment could have dire consequences for free speech in the near future.

Zuck has dug so far that he reached the center of the earth and kept digging into until he popped out the other side and kept digging until he's past Pluto now.

Snowden looks better by the day. After the FBI took control of the Georgia ballots to investigate only to turn around and immediately shredded them, Snowden's actions years ago looks like a wise super patriot.

Snowden needs a pardon, but after a pardon he still won't be safe form the neo=fascists.

Former CIA Director John Brennan Calls for Mao-Like Public Humiliation Sessions for Trump Supporters Before They Are Accepted Back into Society

It is people like Brennan that Snowden feared. It is why he did not use the chain of command or talk to a senator. Besides too many senators are like fish on a wrestling mat.

Brennan actually voted for Gus Hall. Did Brennan do more in that vein?

Trump is unstable?

Brennan is unstable?

Very legitimate questions were raised about the election. The courts especially SCOTUS "punted." Then again the misguided decision to hold a "rally" during these times was poor judgement as was the decision to post to the internet the video

of poor George Floyd being murdered. This person had to have known there was ample eye witnesses to convict officer Chauvin without this and putting this on the internet at that time with the "tinderbox" of US race relations at that time couldn't end well and as I told a relative this person should be prosecuted. Surely there's law to deal with things such as this.

As with POTUS, I can relate. I had a Facebook post "flagged" with one of those "messages" we've all seen. I appealed very nicely but for forcefully and the "block" was removed. EVERYTHING I post on social media is important to me!!

Now as for POTUS, he was reacting to the very real pain of an election steal as he perceived it and many due as well combined with being denied due process. Nevertheless he and his team should've realized what would've happed. Obviously a few lawbreakers were going to infiltrate it and cause mayhem. Unfortunately they've distracted us from dealing with very real issues. Whare is general Mattis to tell us not to be distracted by a few lawbreakers.

As Republicans consider impeachment, I would suggest they consider the enormous good Trump has done as they render their decision. As for Democrats, their minds seem already made up. I'm worried about McConnell's date of 1/19. How can Trump defend himself. Of course a proper defense probably means bringing evidence of the election steal before Congress!!

Snowden and Assange need to be pardoned. Holy hell will break loose when they dump even more info on the Deep State. I think Trump will do it to fuck Biden for not telling Pelosi to back off.
