Trump will be allowed back on YouTube and soon Facebook too...

[IcyPeas]

hasn't it been better without him.

The CEO of YouTube just announced that Donald Trump will be let back on the platform.

Bloomberg News reports that Facebook is likely to lift Trump's ban as well, allowing him to once again push his lies and racist conspiracy theories all over the Internet.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Stupid

[Kali]

4. don't give him so much credit

most of the crap he spews is already on the internet, he doesn't have the creativity to come up with it, he is just a spreader and a fairly good troll.

[StClone]

5. He won't post on FB or YouTube! He's all in on "TrumpTube."

[RainCaster]

6. That is a good time for me to very publicly leave FB

As one who worked for vendors who received 100s of millions from FB, I have had to hold my tongue for too long.

[Drum]

13. Bravo

[DENVERPOPS]

7. Remember "Anonymous"????

Didn't they have some "good guys" hackers that took care of things like this?????????????

Maybe everyone should exercise some corporate punishment on facebook by closing their accounts.......


CEO???? Why not name him?????????? MARK ZUCKERBERG, gazillionaire. Why would he re-instate Trump????????

22. Aubrey Cottle claims to be the founder of Anonymous

and says that Qanon has imitated him and his group. He appears to be trying to stage a comeback.

Earlier this year, the Atlantic revealed Aubrey Cottle as the internet prankster who years ago started Anonymous, an amorphous collective of hackers and activists waging cyberwar against oppression and corruption by targeting institutions like the Church of Scientology, the Westboro Baptist Church and, most recently, the police department.

“Anonymous has all walks of life,” Cottle wrote in a post on Reddit. “The most infamous is, obviously, the hacker type, but just as important are the ones that mobilize online and spread awareness, do research, and collaborate in that manner. If you have a voice, you can help Anonymous.”

Since its peak in the early 2010s, Anonymous mostly faded from the public eye after a series of arrests, but a new generation seems to be taking up the mantle. For example, earlier this year, a person identifying as Anonymous leaked hundreds of gigabytes of internal police files from more than 200 agencies in what was called the #BlueLeaks.

“Right now my only end-goal is bringing the QAnon game to a conclusion,” he explained to a growing number of Redditors tuning into the AMA. “For the last several months my one and only focus has been on QAnon. I more or less abandoned everything I was doing for this.”

9. It's all about the $$$...

...His Largeness drove traffic bigly!

[Brother Buzz]

10. I assume Twitter, his bullhorn of choice, will continue to enforce their permanent suspension

[dalton99a]

11. Twitter will follow suit

Just watch

[PlanetBev]

12. As genius Sen. Susan Collins would say,

“I’m sure he’s learned his lesson.”

[Celerity]

14. profoundly dangerous move

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I don't do Facebook, but have a question.

Can members report someone for improper messages, like Twitter?

Guess I am asking if there are any rules or standards.

[nolabear]

24. Yes, they can. It can get weird.

Groups tend to be "moderated" by group admins so it seems FB stays out of that up to a point. Since birds of a feather, etc., people tend not to get reported. Then again I've seen people suspended for 24 hours or a week for posting something that seems totally innocuous, like a nude painting.

I'm on FB but it's less appealing all the time. Ads abound, the algorithm throws potential "friends" and groups at you consistently according to what you like or respond to, and the actual people I joined to keep up with fall further down the priority list so I forget they're there. It's a very odd system.

[PortTack]

16. Time for a boycott!!

[scarytomcat]

17. Really seems like a problem

banned for life would now holds no meaning.
What about all the others that have been banned or is it just for people that incite riots?

[lagomorph777]

18. If you still have a Fascistbook account, now is the time to close it.

If you are a YouTube content creator, I'm sure you are already seeking another platform, because YouTube is ripping off creators more and more every day.

[turbinetree]

19. So basically these platforms are looking at fucking AD dollars instead of principles

just put the main asshole back on the media platforms, that perpetuates an assault' on my government buildings where-by 140 men and woman were injured, one was killed and two committed suicide, and another one just died and one was injured because some dude wanted to go and basically commit suicide ............yeah that the ticket, put a malignant homicidal maniac on the platforms ...........I really do hate Facebook............and You tube becasue the country can't get enough of a fucking LOSER, that should be fucking locked up...............

[dalton99a]

21. +1. It's all about clicks and eyeballs

They couldn't care less about America or democracy

[turbinetree]

23. Agreed .......................its about money and money has no principles

depending on the user of that money

[Johonny]

20. I'm back ... I'm banned again

It won't last long
