I had a facebook account when facebook first came out late in the 90's. I never found it useful and just stopped using it. I don't know what ever became of it.

I think a lot of folks just had enough. His twitter posts were full of lies, deception and inciteful. I actually stopped reading his twitter account a few months ago so I never missed it.

I don't have a problem with conservatives. I am a conservative although I am not a far-right conservative and I am progressive.

CP> But honestly, I don't have a real problem with that. They are private
CP> companies, so they can do that with their platforms if they want.

This is a new phenomenon in a relatively new platform. These companies will need to do a better job of clarifying what is acceptable and what's not.

I wouldn't want to be the arbiter of what is truth or lies, or good or bad.

CP> The consumers have the option of not utilizing their services.

Yes, we still have this and it's the market that will decide what goes or not.

Ttyl :-),
