It actually goes to show that the YouTube Bidden incident is very similar to the Trump Twitter incident. Those White House video originally had the comments section open. They were closed after the fact the so many people were displeased and expressed such. I see no mistakes on the Judge Thomas interpretation, which he has been doing since before you were even a thought. All I see if double standards... But hey, at least you are showing some standards.
Trump Twitter blocks treat some people differently than others; the White House video comments section being removed treats everyone the same. Trump Twitter blocks make it so some people cannot see what Trump is posting to the public; the White House video comments section being removed still allows the public to view the videos. They're entirely different situations with no double standards.

Do you believe the lies that come out of your fingers? Because anyone Trump blocked from Twitter could have easily signed out of their account and/or created a new one to see what he was Tweeting and/or respond.

Are some people here under the false impression that the primary moderators for Youtube comments are channel owners? Because that is not the case, the primary moderator is Youtube/Google themselves. They don't hesitate to disable comments on videos/channels that see a ton of bot and spam activity.

:rofl2: I was there the first days, and there was not bot/spam activity going on when those comment sections were open. Now everytime they post a video they just assume to disable the comments automatically. It's not YouTube going out of there way to do that, it's the Biden Administration.

It doesn't matter. It creates a burden on the individual who is blocked that other individuals don't have to deal with, even though they're messages to the public. The blocked person has to log out and log back in each time they want to look at the President's tweets, they are blocked from getting notifications for the tweets, etc.

As was I, and that's bullshit. It was 95% bot and spam activity from butthurt Trumpkins.

Right, that's what I said. When their own automated moderation system can no longer keep up, Youtube disables comments on all videos from certain channels.

And I suppose you would have me to believe Trump was the only official to have blocked people on social media platforms? Perhaps these companies should come up with better solutions, like an IGNORE instead of a BLOCK. But, these companies are not to be trusted anyways, and there day in the sun is not permanent.

As I said, no bots or spam. Just opposition. As for the rest of what you are saying, many will continue to believe the opposite until there is hard evidence that is the case with the White House channel. For now, it's simply wishful thinking. But sure, I do not have any doubts that Google and current administration are in cahoots.

I don't know if other public officials have blocked users (I assume they have), and it doesn't matter. Public officials should not be allowed to block individual users. The whole public should be treated the same.

Trump was literally the only president to run his own Twitter account since the platform's debut, so yes. Everybody else has had staffers do it, and only for the purpose of making announcements which don't require any back-and-forth.

As I said, no bots or spam.
Dude the bots are still there, but now their only purpose is spamming the dislike button on all White House videos. Some of the Trumpanzees out there treat it like a full-time job, as if Biden will be automatically impeached once he reaches a certain number of dislikes. :rofl2:

Like I said, Twitter should use an IGNORE system instead of BLOCK system to prevent things like this from happening, which would be very, very simple to implement (at least I assume so).

At the same time, it's not like Trump's account was private. Anyone could ultimately look at what he said everyday. So you didn't get a notification, big whoop. Or so you have to log out, or well. The words he said were still available for all public to see.

I have a feeling all the off-topic of the last several pages is controlled opposition. SMF, Xzi, and monkeyboy were all on the same side at the start of this thread, and now they have been going on for pages arguing what arguably has nothing to do with this thread. And if it's not controlled opposition, it might just be a reflection of today's far-left followers, where as soon as one of their own start to step out of line, they gang up on the individual.

I have no idea what you're going on about & I'm not far left (well maybe to someone in the US I am as they are so scared of commies that anything left of nazis is far left)

I was trying to imply that you were left, and the you were being ganged up on by further leftists. Honestly, nazi and fascism seems a little left to me as well.

YAWN. Again, this is far from what I call evidence. This is more hearsay. There is no proof that this was a secure election besides them telling you it was.

For the number of voters there was less fraud detected than usual.

Either there was less fraud or it was hidden better.

If it was hidden better then it's just hearsay to say that there was fraud.

I'm still waiting for the my pillow guy's absolute proof of fraud that he claimed he was going to release months ago.

It's not YouTube going out of there way to do that, it's the Biden Administration.

Rrrrright...

I'd be fine with an ignore system, but that's not what happened, which is why what Trump did was unlawful.

If we pretend all a block did was remove notifications for a particular user who wants them, when they're available to the rest of the public, that would still be problematic and unlawful.

I am saying at this point there is no hard evidence either way, and that investigation need to happen (which seemed to have happened every other time except for this time).

As for arguing if there was or was not, there is more evidence for the latter, with more and more coming out as the days go by.

And you cannot look at the Biden administration and not see his handlers running the situation. Constantly keeping reporters from even having a chance to ask him anything. Ben Hiden is just an actor on the world stage playing his part.

Naziism and fascism are, by definition, far right ideologies with inherent disdains for liberal democracies.

More and more "evidence" is made up by Trump and his supporters as days go by. That isn't the same thing.

It's essentially impossible to have hard evidence of no fraud, you are expecting a level of proof that not only is impossible but you set a higher bar than you do for Trump and his supporters.

You seem to think they didn't look for fraud because you believe if they did then they would find it. However in reality they were unable to find it despite trying.

Without any evidence of enough fraud that would affect the outcome of the election then Trumps theory that the election was rigged is him being a sore loser (and if you know anything about him then you'll know he is a really sore loser)

I am not looking for absolute, 100% proof either way. Just saying there is not enough publicly available evidence that supports if the elections results should or should not have been overturned, at this point at least.

The problem is 1/4 of the people want it investigated further, 1/4 of the people want no further investigation, and 1/2 of the people could care less and just wanna watch TV.

Physicist Dr. Douglas Frank
made some very interesting finds, and I am hoping to get some free time to check it out and see if I can replicate the data for myself. If I am able to do so.

Sure, he is self admittedly not the most humble guy, but at the same time, he has a higher classification than most and thus has access to all sorts of information we cannot even begin to fathom. Chances are he saw real time evidence of a fraudulent election.

There is no evidence that they should be overturned, public or not.

What exactly do you want investigated? None of the investigations has come up with anything and going over the same ground over and over won't achieve anything.

The fact you think he is credible is quite telling.

Chances are he saw real time evidence of a fraudulent election.

No, Trump ALWAYS says things are rigged when he loses (or even if ahead of time he thinks he will lose). Chances are he hasn't seen any evidence whatsoever, most probably because there is no evidence & likely because there wasn't enough fraud to change the election.
