De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump gooide zaterdag op dat dekselse Twitter een draadje over censuur. Ruim 350 Amerikaanse kranten spraken zich donderdag uit voor de vrijheid van de pers. Hiermee reageren ze op Trump die verschillende media ‘vijanden van het Amerikaanse volk’ heeft genoemd.
Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen. They are closing down the opinions of many people on the RIGHT, while at the same time doing nothing to others…….

…..Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed. I get used to it and watch with a grain of salt, or don’t watch at all..

….Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen. Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made. Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!
