Twitter temporarily blocks Daleiden’s team from live-tweeting undercover-video hearing

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – As the preliminary hearing for charges against pro-life investigators David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt continues, Twitter temporarily barred the pro-life Center for Medical Progress (CMP) from live-tweeting the proceedings – based on a misrepresentation of the tweets from Planned Parenthood’s attorneys, CMP claims.

CMP has been locked in legal battles with Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) since the summer of 2015, when their undercover videos revealed abortion industry insiders expressing interest in profiting off organs from aborted babies, which is illegal. The abortion groups accuse the pro-life investigators of breaking California privacy laws, and obtained a gag order against the release of additional videos.

Last month, District Judge Orrick let stand Planned Parenthood’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations' (RICO) claims against CMP, concluding that whether Sandra Merritt and other CMP journalists should be punished for “trespassing” at a Texas abortion facility was for a jury to decide.

While the pro-life investigators disputed the legal merits of Orrick’s ruling, Daleiden welcomed the opportunity to force abortionists and other industry figures to take the stand and answer questions about CMP’s revelations, under penalty of perjury.

The RICO trial is set to begin October 2, but preliminary hearings began this week, which offered the public its first opportunity to one of the CMP videos that had been previously suppressed. The video still cannot be released online, but LifeSite’s coverage of the hearing reveals that the abortionist featured in it, identified only as Doe 3, “admitted to knowing about babies born alive,” according to defense attorney Brentford Ferreira.

There are alternatives to Twitter and Facebook. Conservatives need to use alternative platforms.

I got a temporary suspension on the account @jjvors I’ve had it since 2009. No reason was given. I cannot tweet nor retweet nor follow.

I wonder if it’s related to my conservative tweets?

Parlor is a alternative to Twitter that is more hands off. Many conservative publications advertise for it and many notable conservatives and libertarians have joined.

Gab is another alternative to Twitter, which has come under fire for allowing most people to say what they want. They seem less heavy handed than Twitter.

Bitchute is free speech alternative to YouTube. It allows you a lot of leeway and freedom as it does everyone. There are white supremacists and probably other racial supremacists on there but you don’t have to click on them. It’s a small price to pay free speech as far as I’m concerned.

MeWe is a new social media alternative to Facebook that is remarkably free

You cannot even look at Gab unless you join. At least Free Republic and RAT Underground don’t require that. Gab appears to be gabless.

The abortion industry - its founding by the truly evil marge Sanger and it’s stupid organization and stupidly named Planned Parenthood - there’s nothing parenting about it - are getting the scrutiny they richly deserve and the evil they purport

We know the LordHas His hands in this! Go Jesus go

The problem is not informing Conservatives. It's reaching out to others to try and convert them.

No. Big Tech colluded to kill startup rivals for Patreon (Freestartr and another), Twitter (Gab.ai) and social media sites.

The solution is breaking up Big Tech under anti-trust laws AND criminally prosecuting them for collusion. After all, they’re working together to cut off alternative sites in search results and funding AND working together to purge un-persons across the board.

Prosecuting them for civil rights violations because they’re systematically oppressing entire viewpoints is another matter. But start with the business case, easier to prove and implement quickly.

Huh? What does RICO have to do with Trespassing?

And why would TX charges be rolled into this CA trial? Shouldn't they be their own trail, in TX?
