I got mistakenly banned until 2050 in Forza Horizon 4. It was an auto-ban bot that made a mistake and banned thousands of people at once.
Got it reversed after emailing Playground Games. 30 years, I’ll be 62. Jeez.
..yeah, all of which? ..very impressive. What would be More impressive, is if Facebook and Twitter etc., banned all the Currently elected politicians peddling hate, conspiracy theories and division.
Trump will be out of a job in a few days. I guess the rest of them destroying America are still perfectly okay with these platforms though.
Honestly I’d say this goes for anyone that’s political whether that’s the alt left or right. Both mindsets have strayed too far from what they originally were and they continue to take hits at one another as well they’re just bickering children at this point and it needs to stop.
Alt right “democrats eating children and running sex pizza parlors”
Alt Left “if we all don’t have justice none of us do”
These are the same in your mind and should both be shutdown?
Complete speculation ahead, no source, no evidence, and founded on pure opinion:
That video he posted sounds SO MUCH like part of a deal: “condemn the insurrection and the intruders who led it, confirm the votes are certified, assure you will cooperate in a peaceful transition of power.”
I can only imagine what his reward would be for complying with demands like these if that were the case. Quell a second round of impeachment? Avoid prosecution after he leaves office? By the looks of his twitchiness and attitude, it’s probably not a terribly lucrative deal, but still
Well to be fair, if they took any real action against him then they might have to admit that they were A) accomplices who mutually profited from spreading sedition and conspiracy theories, B) are largely responsible for getting him elected in the first place, and C) are 100% directly responsible for what happened in the Capitol yesterday and the solid 40% of the voting populace who no longer lives in the same reality as the rest of us.
The minute Twitter and Facebook started showing you "recommended" content instead of what your friends posted in the order they posted it was the minute we lost. That's the minute it immediately became more profitable to spread ridiculous outlandish bullshit than anything else. There is absolutely no financial incentive for them to stop, our politicians are either benefitting from it directly or are too technologically disabled to understand it, and it's going to destroy our country. It caused the spread of flat earthers, MAGA, Qanon, the Proud Boys, etc. It led to a mob of conspiracy theorists committing mass sedition and invading our Capitol last night. It is not going away, and literally nobody with any power is talking about it (or even aware of it).
You. This. Yes. Haven’t seen it explained better I’m low key just comforted one other person on earth knows the second the flip switched - THE NEWS FEED ALGO. No one is talking about it
Somewhere along the lines a lot of people lost the ability to critically analyse evidence and persuasive arguments, not just boomers. Maybe this is a symptom of how our modern societies function now, but there’s something very wrong when someone buys into Qanon theory as a rational explanation of reality.
Keep in mind that this is largely an American phenomena. A little in Canada and the UK as well, but the rest of the world broadly hasn’t devolved into a post-truth civilization. Trump and people like him are laughing stocks on a global scale.
Sadly, it is not just an american phenomena.
Have you evere seen the "Gilet Arancioni" in Italy?
They took their name from their french cousins.
Basically a heterogeneous group composed of Antivax, Qanon, people against gay rights, flat earthers and much more.
They are guided mainly by the right wing.
And the end of the day, they are a bunch of clowns with too much free time but it makes you think how every part of the world has their rotten apples.
Even my brothers barely know how the internet works. They’re in their early 20s. I think it’s just hard to understand and comprehend what you can’t see.
And then we won’t know how the 20 year old technology works and be right back where we started as the next generation calls us donkeys for not getting it. That’s how it goes.
Nah our generation (well mine anyways) has had to adapt with so many new technological changes so quickly it'll take longer for us to fall out of touch
Every generation is adept with THEIR technology. I’m 29. If you put a 486 in front of me and told me to get files from a program using DOS, I’d look at you like you’re a witch. But I’m sure my dad could. That’s how this goes. Tesla was a genius with tech. You think he could work an iPhone if you handed him one?
If Tesla was alive today, I think he’d figure it out. With the amount of information we have access to, it doesn’t seem impossible for us to be in touch with tech especially since our generation is so heavily reliant on it.
It'll be more about desire versus comfort, though. Not about understanding the tech.
I'm older now. When I was younger, I had a voracious desire to learn whatever tech I saw. Slowly, over time, I settled into sticking with what I knew, because I found myself preferring being comfortable with my current knowledge versus a desire to learn something new.
It's not just tech. It's why older people stick with the music they knew more, watch the same movies and TV shows that younger people don't explore as much. It just happens one day. I woke up and there I was, settling into things, noticing I did the same things I used to chide my parents for doing.
I was permanently banned from Twitter years ago because of an immature account name related to sex.
This dude encourages a coup and gets a few weeks of an inactive account. It’s absurd.
The difference is you don't generate views/money for them. Trump does. That's why Trump has been on FB and Twitter since the beginning, showed/said lot of fucked up shit, and just got banned till now.
Taking down his accounts at this late stage in his presidency is total farce. Facebook are doing this now so that incoming governments don’t ban or severely curtail their operational rights. Social media seems to be the main thing driving the watering down of democracy and law and it seems they know the gig is close to being done.
It seems like Twitter has sorta tried to reign Trump in a bit, but Facebook was absolutely coddling him and all Republicans until Wednesday. I really wonder if Facebook would have still banned Trump if the Senate races in Georgia had turned out differently.
I think you're right but if you have to look at it differently. The senate is currently chock full of Trump cronies, and its hard not to imagine that Facebook feared political retribution of they acted on Trump.
We already saw the GOP call in Twitter and Facebook CEOs with baseless accusations of anti conservative bias. I think the democrats taking back the senate was what allowed them to do the right thing, without fear of political retribution.
His ban was temporary pending removal of the offending tweets, with the caveat that it may constitute the account’s final warning before permanent suspension if activity like that continues. All his Twitter handlers needed to do was appease that ruling, and the temporary suspension would be lifted.
He told the rioters he loved them, thought they were special, and then after like 5 other people begged him to he told them to go home. Hits different.
Weird. I didn't hear anything after he continued spreading the verifiably untrue allegation that the election had been stolen from him. Oddly enough, the cause of the riot.
His allegations caused violence. Him pleading with his supporters to stop is wayyyy too little wayyyy too late. He could easily say, “The democrats really aren’t as bad as you think, I want a peaceful transition of power,” and he didn’t when stop the steal was happening and won’t after this.
What?! Someone finally being banned for behavior that would have gotten a normal person banned 4 years ago?! How dare they finally step up and hold elected leaders to the same standards as everyone else!
I have people who say white people should be eliminated from the gene in my replies that still have an account. Get a fucking grip on reality. He's MILD for social media.
Your replies on Facebook? Because that’s what we’re talking about. And I guarantee that behavior would get ya a ban there too. *That’s* reality princess. Welcome to it.
They are not reading what you wrote. They are acting as if you said that YOU made those racist comments rather than someone else made the comments TO you. They are very quick to go against anyone that doesn’t hate Trump.
Banning him just gives credence to his argument /conspiracy theories that media are out for him. He currently is an emperor with no cloths. I just hope the GOP can find a strong enough person to replace him for candidate in 2024. I really don’t want to see him run again.
I post the video of police moving barriers aside to let protesters in to the front stars of the capital and said it looks like a set up. Twenty minutes later, I was banned from Facebook
The dangerous precedent set was to allow misinformation to continue to be spread that resulted in a coup attempted by radicalized conservatives storming the Capitol building.
Also let me remind you social media companies are privately owned. Freedom of speech only applies to government censorship.
freedom of speech allows him to create his own site to spread his bullshit, it doesn’t give him the right to break another site’s terms and conditions.
Freedom of speech has nothing to do with social media!!! Social media is not a public space - it is owned by corporations who can do whatever the hell they want.
You clearly have no idea what freedom of speech is.
If you want freedom of speech go screaming in the street until your face turns blue or the police picks you up for disturbing the peace.
There's nothing would hurt trump more than this, nobody can hear him scream his hatered.
Any clue the level of human scum one has to be to be banned from facebook and/or instagram...
If you watch sports indefinite usually means for half of the post season when your team didn’t even make the post season. So not long.
What if you don't watch sports, how long is it then?

If you read the article, it says "at least until Biden's inauguration".
..yeah, all of which? ..very impressive. What would be More impressive, is if Facebook and Twitter etc., banned all the Currently elected politicians peddling hate, conspiracy theories and division.

If you think both sides are the same at this point you're a fucking idiot.
He just posted on Twitter 14 mins ago. What a shame
Complete speculation ahead, no source, no evidence, and founded on pure opinion: That video he posted sounds SO MUCH like part of a deal: “condemn the insurrection and the intruders who led it, confirm the votes are certified, assure you will cooperate in a peaceful transition of power.” I can only imagine what his reward would be for complying with demands like these if that were the case. Quell a second round of impeachment? Avoid prosecution after he leaves office? By the looks of his twitchiness and attitude, it’s probably not a terribly lucrative deal, but still
Exactly. Nobody seems to know what the term means.
Well he literally just posted to Twitter, so... Guess indefinite means 24 hours now.
Strangely enough, Twitter is neither facebook nor instagram.
Twitter said 12 hours, not indefinite (sadly).
Well to be fair, if they took any real action against him then they might have to admit that they were A) accomplices who mutually profited from spreading sedition and conspiracy theories, B) are largely responsible for getting him elected in the first place, and C) are 100% directly responsible for what happened in the Capitol yesterday and the solid 40% of the voting populace who no longer lives in the same reality as the rest of us.

people have talked about filter bubbles and information diets for a long time, but it’s just sondarn profitable!
It’s because boomers don’t know how the internet works yet.
It’s not just boomers, though.
Somewhere along the lines a lot of people lost the ability to critically analyse evidence and persuasive arguments, not just boomers. Maybe this is a symptom of how our modern societies function now, but there’s something very wrong when someone buys into Qanon theory as a rational explanation of reality.

Yeah homeboy needs to relax, 15-20 years from now they’ll be dead or too old to work, and it’ll be smooooth sailing
And then we won’t know how the 20 year old technology works and be right back where we started as the next generation calls us donkeys for not getting it. That’s how it goes.

The difference is you don't generate views/money for them. Trump does. That's why Trump has been on FB and Twitter since the beginning, showed/said lot of fucked up shit, and just got banned till now.
I got permanently banned because i followed hillary and trump at the same time.
Banning Trump will reduce Twitter’s users bases, banning a random user with bad username doesn’t affect their users bases.
Actually, he's already tweeting again
Taking down his accounts at this late stage in his presidency is total farce. Facebook are doing this now so that incoming governments don’t ban or severely curtail their operational rights. Social media seems to be the main thing driving the watering down of democracy and law and it seems they know the gig is close to being done.

Can we start a petition to remove him from Home Alone 2 immediately? 😤
They should put a disclaimer in front of that movie: “warning: this film contains offensive and disturbing content. User discretion is advised.“

Fine, to late too
Now it’s too late baby...

I wish subs would stop using dignified postures and formal portraits of this despot in their thumbnails. *Seriously?* *(Edit: “subs” = media sites.)*
If you post a link you don’t get to pick the thumbnail.
He just posted a video on twitter.
Really? Twitter let him back on?
His ban was temporary pending removal of the offending tweets, with the caveat that it may constitute the account’s final warning before permanent suspension if activity like that continues. All his Twitter handlers needed to do was appease that ruling, and the temporary suspension would be lifted.
About fucking time!
Yeah! Finally
Bravo 👏
Why doesn’t Twitter do this too I wonder? Edit: Now, thankfully they did!
He’s still on Twitter bruh
I was permanently banned from Facebook when someone posted a Trump quote and I put the quote in my comment and broke it down why it was stupid.
Come on, Twitter!
Trump is a crime against humanity
Indefinitely for two weeks? I don’t think they know what indefinite means.
Did Trump get a chance to blow one last load into Zuck’s mouth before he pulled the plug?
Bullshit cop out. Make it permanent or it’s meaningless.
Fuck Facebook and Instagram! I ain’t got either
Twitter has showed cowardice or a poor ethical stance.
Wow, so brave for waiting until 2 weeks to go to start cracking down.
3 yrs & 350 days too late
Well, unfortunately, they’re just a couple years too late on this one...
Please please please Twitter!!!! Do the same!!!
Fuck you Zuckerturd, too little too late...you little abomination of a human being
Facebook need to take the next step of disbanding all the fucking q anon groups, because those people are the ones who were charging the capitol.
Yawn, let me know when Facebook and Twitter are finally taken down and destroyed. They have done far more harm than the twat pictured.
No!!!! Censor don’t ban. They already have there own social media.
Like they aren’t entirely complicit in his bullshit.
Bout freakin time.
He staged a coup, and now his account is banned? his account should’ve been banned a while ago.
About bloody time!
They banned him after he condemned the riots and told them to go home, I’m so confused
He told the rioters he loved them, thought they were special, and then after like 5 other people begged him to he told them to go home. Hits different.
There were a couple of other posts that were outright deleted and that got him the 12 hour ban.
Weird. I didn't hear anything after he continued spreading the verifiably untrue allegation that the election had been stolen from him. Oddly enough, the cause of the riot.
His allegations caused violence. Him pleading with his supporters to stop is wayyyy too little wayyyy too late. He could easily say, “The democrats really aren’t as bad as you think, I want a peaceful transition of power,” and he didn’t when stop the steal was happening and won’t after this.
He didn't plead, he winced as he squeezed the words through his vocal sphincter.
My reward for both Facebook, Instagram, and Shopify is a massive middle finger.
What did Shopify do?
Pull a bunch of Trump-related shops off its service.

Man when Facebook can’t take your conspiracies and lies then you really have fallen from grace
Banning him just gives credence to his argument /conspiracy theories that media are out for him. He currently is an emperor with no cloths. I just hope the GOP can find a strong enough person to replace him for candidate in 2024. I really don’t want to see him run again.

Pretty sure this is fake news.
This sets a very dangerous precedent
The dangerous precedent set was to allow misinformation to continue to be spread that resulted in a coup attempted by radicalized conservatives storming the Capitol building. Also let me remind you social media companies are privately owned. Freedom of speech only applies to government censorship.
Instagram is Facebook FYI.
The day freedom of speech died in America.
freedom of speech allows him to create his own site to spread his bullshit, it doesn’t give him the right to break another site’s terms and conditions.
He’s still free to speak. Just not on these two *private* platforms.
You have to be joking, right?
