Crowdfunding Campaign To #BuyTwitter So She Can Ban POTUS: Let's #BuyTwitter and #BanTrump

This week, former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson (aptly) announced on Twitter that she had launched a crowdfunding campaign to buy a controlling stake in the social media company so as to exercise that capital power by banning the president.

Just after 24 hours the crowdfunding campaign has already raised  $34,361 from 1,034.  Now that is the power of the Crowd.  

"Time and again his use of this huge global platform has major consequences in the real world," Wilson writes. "With a single tweet, he can damage international relationships and alliances, spread fake news like a virus, embolden white supremacists to march in the streets, or send stock markets crashing or soaring." In her pitch, Wilson also emphasizes "a real danger that Trump’s tweets could actually start a nuclear war." "As commander-in-chief Trump has absolute authority to make good on these threats. The nuclear briefcase follows him everywhere ... That's why the world takes his words so seriously," she explains. "Let's delete his account before that happens." As TechCrunch reflected, "It’s unclear whether Wilson is doing this to pressure Twitter to block Trump or if she actually believes her mission will pan out." In the past, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has stated that the president's tweets suggesting violence toward journalists and others aren't in violation of the platform's rules. Twitter was reached out to for comment, which will be included here if and when available. Source: A Former CIA Agent Is Crowdfunding To #BuyTwitter So She Can Ban POTUS
