The New York Times - Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram access will be reinstated in the coming weeks ...

 

breaking

 


Meta suspended Mr. Trump from its platforms on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after hundreds of people stormed the Capitol in his name, saying his posts ran the risk of inciting more violence.

 

Meta, which critics have accused of censoring Mr. Trump and other conservative voices, said on Wednesday it had decided to reverse the bans because it had determined that the risk to public safety had “sufficiently receded” since January 2021. 

 

The company added that it would add guardrails to “deter repeat offenses” in the future.

 

"The public should be able to hear what their politicians are saying - the good, the bad and the ugly - so that they can make informed choices at the ballot box,” said Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs. 

 

"But that does not mean there are no limits to what people can say on our platform. 

 

"When there is a clear risk of real world harm - a deliberately high bar for Meta to intervene in public discourse - we act.

 

Oh, Joy!  🙁🙁🙁

I'm sure the Dems will be happy, nothing will help them more than giving a voice to a deranged loose cannon that'll screw up the other side.

Facebook's reporting system is absolutely useless anyway - I could report 20 posts that are offensive and/or pure misinformation and they might remove 1. So I dunno what these "guardrails" are they speak of. What a joke.

linw:  He was bonkers before but he is on a different level now. Senility, anyone?

 



 

Quite possibly.

 

Donald Trump is now in his late 70s.

 

Having a parent with Alzheimer’s is a risk factor for developing dementia

 

Trump's father, the infamous Fred Trump, was diagnosed with "mild senile dementia" in his early 80s, which progressed to full-blown Alzheimer's disease in his late 80s.

They will be there to keep people like you who complain about this from seeing it.

 

Meantime they get to monetise click bait to idiots who chose to believe that junk.

The Guardian: ‘It was my most terrifying experience – and I’ve seen Trump naked!’: Stormy Daniels on standup, tarot and reality TV
...
As for the book, Full Disclosure, it charts the story of Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) ... through to breaking into pornography...

It also describes her time with Trump in excruciating detail, pulling no punches about his “unusual” genitals (“like a toadstool,” it reads), his empty promises to get her on The Apprentice (and let her win), and feeling pressured to sign the non-disclosure agreement at the heart of the scandal. It is not an overstatement to say the whole thing put a target on Daniels’s back, replete with hate mail and death threats.
...
There was a point when she decided she could either “lay here and continue to pray for death or get up”. She chose to get up. “Nothing’s going to piss off your haters more than you getting up.” The scandal didn’t stop there. There was her arrest in Columbus, Ohio, for illegally touching a patron at a strip club – charges that were dropped 12 hours later. In turn, Daniels filed a lawsuit against the officers involved, arguing they were Trump supporters who entered into a “conspiracy” against her. The city of Columbus eventually settled with Daniels for $450,000 and the officers were disciplined.

And there were the issues surrounding her former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who is in jail for defrauding Daniels out of her book advance, among other crimes. “Can you see why I should have called my book Why Me?” says Daniels.

The Hill: California seeks disbarment of lawyer Eastman following Trump memo

The California State Bar is seeking disbarment of attorney John Eastman, who crafted memos for the Trump campaign encouraging Vice President Mike Pence to buck his ceremonial duty to certify the 2020 election results.

Eastman crafted two memos for the Trump campaign outlining strategies for reversing then-President Trump’s loss to President Biden, including another encouraging states to certify Trump’s loss as a victory.

The filing notice for disciplinary charges points to false statements regarding voter fraud and his comments at the rally near the White House on Jan. 6 as the basis for the disbarment.

“The 11 charges arise from allegations that Eastman engaged in a course of conduct to plan, promote, and assist then-President Trump in executing a strategy, unsupported by facts or law, to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by obstructing the count of electoral votes of certain states,” the State Bar of California wrote in a press release announcing the move.

PFFT, he would have to pay me to take anything with his image or name on it. Like hell I would buy crap like that.

 

Also: Ronna Romney McDaniel stays as chair of the RNC. She's a huge Trump fan-girl. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/27/ronna-mcdaniel-wins-her-race-for-rnc-chair-00079980

 

I suppose the My Pillow f-wit will be screaming "election fraud" about this too - after all, he only got 4 votes 😄

I was given a roll for Christmas - I save it for special occasions.

 

Unfortunately it is coarse, and of very poor quality, but what else would you expect?
