I don't think this is the case. Anecdotal, but I don't know many people who were excited to vote for Clinton or Biden. Biden had the luxury of people not thinking Trump had zero chance. I'd expect results closer to 2020 than 2016 if Trump runs in 2024.
wait, isn't that the core values of this country?
To a small and loud extremist group, yes, they do think it is. But we all know it is not true and exactly the opposite.
Do you not think the Democrats repeatedly bringing Facebook/Twitter etc before Congress and demanding they take action on certain things doesn't imply regulation?
The Julian Assange case is particularly troubling especially the media blackout, but the US press will ignore it because Assange hurt Hillary's election chances.
That’s not an example of “weaponizing Facebook”. That tweet implies Facebook is going to be, threateningly, regulated if they don’t do what the government says. This regulation of social media thing has been going on for months, and those calls come at least as loud from Trump/Republicans, so I don’t know why you’re trying to paint those as partisan*. So no, that tweet saying “it always comes with a threat” isn’t backed by Congressional hearings that have been going on for months.
Speaking of Hunter..
The biggest part of the Hunter Biden story was how the media and big tech worked in unison to suppress the story because it would harm Biden's election chances. That was a much bigger controversy than the actual story about Hunter Biden.That’s not an example of “weaponizing Facebook”. That tweet implies Facebook is going to be, threateningly, regulated if they don’t do what the government says. This regulation of social media thing has been going on for months, and those calls come at least as loud from Trump/Republicans, so I don’t know why you’re trying to paint those as partisan*. So no, that tweet saying “it always comes with a threat” isn’t backed by Congressional hearings that have been going on for months.
Let’s say literally everything about that laptop is true, how many votes do you think swing from Biden based off of that? Stories broke out about Trump in the lead up to the 2016 election, and guess what? It didn’t matter**. This “it was suppressed to help Biden/hurt Trump” thing is just silly. That’s the last I’m commenting on that though, I think we both know neither of us will change the other’s mind.

President Trump warned social media giants Wednesday that the federal government could “strongly regulate” or “close them down” if they continue to “silence conservative voices,” amid a flaring battle with Twitter after the platform fact-checked one of his tweets for the first time this week.www.foxnews.com
**because of the archaic and undemocratic process we use to select presidents, but that’s another thread. But I will happily middle finger the EC whenever given a shot.

I guess trump is going to be PISSED about this since he was on record complaining about this and those pesky low flow toilets
Biden Administration Set To Reverse Trump-Era Rule On Showerheads
The rule change will have little practical effect, since nearly all commercially made showerheads comply with the 2013 rule — Trump's pet peeve notwithstanding.www.huffpost.com
