Let’s say Trump wants to send a message to the country using the internet right now.

How does he do it?

Think about it, and then tell me that these corporations don’t have power over our speech.




He calls a press conference, and Fox News, ONN, the New York Times and a host of other media sources listen to the press conference, then publish his remarks on the internet.


Maybe he should fax some people while he's at it.

Possibly send some good ol' newsletters to people's mail.

Folks, this is "get on the back of the bus" behavior. People in a free society should be able to use modern, first-class services if other people can.


It is very hard for me to see the President of the United States as an unfairly persecuted, powerless individual without the ability to get his message out.


He's not. But he loves to portray himself simultaneously as a "tough guy" and as an "constantly and unfairly persecuted victim".


You need to do some light reading.

If it's important enough: https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integr...

If it's not, he can call a press conference which will be broadcasted over the internet.
