   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.   
      
    CP> There has been more than Trumps removal. There does seem to be the   
    CP> appearance of bias against posts from more conservate sources.   
      
   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 :-),
