They are private companies comrade. We are free here unlike Mother Russia.

If private companies are NOT allowed to discriminate against: - women - gay people - black people - brown people - disabled people - muslims - native Americans …then they cannot discriminate against conservatives either.

Those groups are protected by the First Amendment, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Political affiliation isn't protected. Read this article for some help.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/11/25/can-businesses-refuse-to-serve-or-employ-trump-supporters/ …

Political affiliation is protected by the
#1A. However many seem to be perfectly fine with corporations discriminating against people with a certain political stance. -
When giant Social Media companies censor & silent vast swaths of the public for thinking different, they are influencing elections. When Sheryl Sandberg offered access to FaceBook’s user data to Hillary but NOT to Trump, she was trying to influence a Presidential election.

Private companies are allowed to censor. It doesn't violate the 1st Amendment. There's also no proof it influences elections. It's constitutional even if you don't like it.https://dailycaller.com/2018/05/29/conservatives-confused-on-free-speech-and-social-media/ …

before the hearing have your staff educate you on bots Specifically Russian bots they are what’s being banned that your numbers are inflated by bot and trolls means they go down w/ bot purge Those that don’t have bots followers numbers stay about the same

Except there really are Russian bots and they really are designed to help Trump and create confusion. Or maybe you refuse to believe anything that isn't pro-Trump.

I know this will mean nothing to you. But can you POSSIBLY not let your brain be hijacked by the MSM BS? "Russian bots" are not significant
#s & some helped Trump others helped Hillary. This is a minor story blown up to distract & sadly sheeple just buy it Hook line & sinker. -
AFAIK, Russian bots never tried to help Clinton. They even tried to help Sanders to try to hurt Clinton worse, but never help her. Whatever "bots" were trying to help her, were not Russian, just left-wing propaganda pushers. And they were vastly outnumbered.

Why are people so willing to shout out their ignorance?

This is, after all, the guy who remains resolutely pro-NRA after being shot and severely injured.
