Twitter Claims ‘Error’ in Blacklisting Students for Trump
Breitbart ^ | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Twitter claims that it has made an “error” in blacklisting the Students for Trump Twitter account on Wednesday. The suspension of the Pro-Trump student group has been reversed.

“We use a combination of technology and human review to surface harmful content proactively on the service,” said a Twitter spokesperson in a statement to the Washington Times.

“In this case, the account you referenced was flagged by our automated systems in error,” the spokesperson added. “This has been reversed, and access to the account has been reinstated.”

On Wednesday, Students for Trump co-chair Ryan Fournier announced that the Students for Trump Twitter account had been locked until Inauguration Day without explanation.

“Unbelievable. We are locked out of the Students for Trump account until after Inauguration Day,” tweeted Fournier. “No violations. No warnings. Nothing.”

Hey Twitter, isn’t it strange all the “errors” you make involve curtailing the free speech of Trump supporters or Conservatives?

I hope Twitter gets sued for monetary damages for their suspension/ban of groups.

And which court would that be which would side with those suing Twitter? I don’t see one.

So your algorithm is looking for the word Trump and banning it. Unless they are banning the word students or the word for......

No it’s more complicated than that. You need to look for combinations of words. You are allowed to cast Trump in a negative light, just not a positive one. You can threaten violence on Trump but not threaten violence on those who threaten violence on Trump. You can say Trump lost by a landslide, but not he won by a landslide and the democrats cheated.

I got off FB YEARS ago. I would post an article from a conservative website...and it would disappear. Also noticed more and more newspaper sites deleting their comments sections and wrangling into Disqus...or nothing at all.

Saw the writing on the wall then.

Oh how odd things have become.

Today the US is secular and had a President (Obama) run around proclaiming how we are not a Christian nation, while in Russia you have had a steady resurgence of eastern orthodoxy.

Today if you want to use a communication platform that isn’t censored or listening in on you (big brother), you might go to “telegram,” a Russian based system, or go to the Russian Times that will tell of detailed accounts of election fraud in these last elections (blow by blow), but good luck finding the articles if using Google or some other US based search engines which censor.

Then there is the US whistle-blower, who faces “persecution” if he returns to the US because he dared expose unconstitutional collection on all US citizens, lies under oath by senior government officials, living under amnesty in Russia.

Do you realize that today we have a government share in the economy of 43%? You cannot make this up, Russia is 35-36%! Hahahaha. We are more frigging socialist than the Russians! Hahahaha. Free vaccines, free day care, school lunches, subsidized higher education, public programs for TV, radio, the arts.... Just in case you doubt it: https://www.google.com/search?q=percent+gdp+government+russia&oq=percent+gdp+government+russia&aqs=chrome..69i57.9301j0j7&client=ms-unknown&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Today Russia has a nationalist, pro growth, pro life, pro defense president, Putin. And the US elecects a globalist union workers of the world unite old school socialist type. LOL

This is insane!

I remember when everything was the other way around.

Saw this today from twitter. The hypocrisy is mind shattering

Ahead of the Ugandan election, we’re hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps.

We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.

Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections.

-- Communists are always late to acknowledge mistakes were made --

Governments never admit error. All governments claim to be for freedom. No government admits to being out of bounds. Ever.

All goverments lie.

Right sure.

It’s really satisfying to know that the backlash they have created against themselves is paying dividends already.
