Free Speech on US Social Media Firms and the Future of the USD

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
To curtail the 'Freedom of Speech' of a Sitting President, just goes on to show the great financial and economic risk that some social media firms operate with, and the subsequent bogus financial value that it is allocated for some reasons - other than a market evaluated and risk assessed fundamental. If social media firms, start subjugating a Sitting President, it is obviously above the laws itself - making it a void when analysing for any financial worth.


The trillion dollar social media market becomes clearly a hype - rather than a reality for the US market and calculated on the US Dollar. A possible reason for the further deterioration of the USD in the world markets!

    I wouldn't normally say this but this is an extreme exception: to my mind this is not just a silly but a dangerous statement. Facebook and Twitter did not "subjugate" the President, what they did was refuse to convey messages from an individual which in their opinion were inciting violence and civil war. Which in my opinion is absolutely the correct position for any business.


    The President was not "subjugated", he can still use the extremely powerful official White House communication channels to incite violence and civil war if he feels the need to.


    I will not be surprised if this drives up, rather than down, the share value of the organisations involved.
