Former President Trump responds to Facebook’s quasi-independent Oversight Board upholding the platform’s ban on his account.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at three of the biggest tech giants after Facebook’s quasi-independent“What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country,” Trump said in a statement.

The social media company banned Trump from using its platforms — Facebook and Instagram — the day after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The board said Wednesday that Trump “created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible” by maintaining a narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

He criticized the amount of influence that big tech companies have on free speech and media content, saying: “Google and Facebook and YouTube actually control much of what America sees, whether it's you and I talking right now and it gets reposted on any of those platforms, they have the ability to actually raise that profile or lower it. And so it is time that we break up big tech, not just regulate them.

“Now that's OK, this is America,” Kennedy said. “You can believe what you want. But no one believes that these social media platforms will regulate or censor, let's say, Sen. Bernie Sanders like they would former President Donald Trump or Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.”

Not even gonna get into what tRumpf says...is probably best, Jussayin...

He’s right and so are they.

“What [Fa̶c̶e̶b̶o̶o̶k̶,̶ ̶T̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶G̶o̶o̶g̶l̶e̶̶] have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country,” It’s like he’s describing himself.

Whenever the thin orange skin doesnt get his way, like a grade school baby, he lashes out!!!

These are always Trump’s words: a total disgrace, a hoax, witch hunt, fake news, very fine people, what else?

What ever he says it’s almost like he’s looking in a mirror talking to himself he should never be given any platform to spread terrorist activity

The former guy continues to be a disgrace

Yes, a very sad day it is... Facebook

Trump the blogger.... nobody cares

trash bucket not happy awwwwww - no sympathy for sociopate

Buffet lines, blogging, what a loser.

Who gives a shit what he says and why !

Who the fuck cares?

He is such a child. And a fake. God warns again False Christian for they too shall be tossed aside. And in this world today thee are millions of fakes giving us good Christian a bad name. Trump and Franklin Graham have a lot of followers. All of them are deceived by them.

Here are networks handing him further exposure. Report it once and move on, substitute a graphic rather than a picture. Every additional report just gives him more of a voice and relevance. You all are handing him exactly what he wants..headlines. But then I guess ad $$s talk.

No, Trump is a total disgrace! He tried to overthrow the US Government! He should be banned from any future election activity! Those supporting him should be looked at closely !

Ha! They have a conscience.. more than I can say for the legitimately ex president who lawfully lost!

Does he know any other words?

No Meadows, it is a sad day for MAGAs.

He participated in an attempted coup, I would hope he will face more serious consequences than this.
