Twitter Cancels Catholic Media Outlet
Catholic League ^ | 1/29/21 | Bill Donohue

Posted on 01/31/2021 5:37:37 PM PST by marshmallow

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Twitter’s attack on free speech:

Catholic World Report (CWR) is a respectable Catholic media outlet and a publication of Ignatius Press. On January 24, it received notice from Twitter that its account has been locked for hateful conduct. CWR appealed but lost. What was the alleged hate speech?

CWR journalist Matt Hadro posted the following tweet on January 19. “Biden plans to nominate Dr. Rachel Levine, a biological man identifying as a transgender woman who has served as Pennsylvania’s health secretary since 2017, to be HHS Assistant Secretary for Health. Levine is also a supporter of the contraceptive mandate.”

Carl Olson, editor of CWR, said: “It seems evident that Twitter’s focus is the description of Levine as a ‘biological man identifying as a transgender woman.’ Since Levine is ‘transgendered,’ it’s curious as to why Twitter would think it harmful or hateful to note what Levine is ‘trans-gendering’ from or to.”

Olson observes that Twitter is making media outlets “jump through arbitrary and constantly-changing rhetorical and ideological hoops.” It is also “implicitly making CWR admit to hateful or bigoted language, even though such was never the case.”

Why are demonrats still hating on the church. They got their globalist lgbtP for pedophile pope installed who bows to global hoaxing and islam. What else could they possibly want? I suppose they have yet to get their fingers on all the gold the vatican is hoarding

Trump saved Twitter. What people don't realize that in the early 2010s the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

People are yearning for the truth and they were getting it from conservative Twitter users. So in essence, Twitter is biting the hand that feeds them. If all conservatives left Twitter, the company would collapse because leftists on Twitter usually follow conservatives around to harass them.

Twitter and Facebook’s business model is essentially to drive away half their potential customers.

One aspect of the perversion of what God ordained as in the 9 of the commandments and which devil produces as part of his alternative world by which he is implicitly selfishly obtains glory, then rather than profanity being sin, that is pervasive while stating a politically incorrect biological truth is a mortal sin. Zero tolerant Twitter.

Wow. Does the section 230 protect them from lawsuits and not being held liable to constitutional law? Either way it is either time for a lawsuit and/or getting rid of the section 230 protection. This is GLARING the abuse!!

Their path reminds me of DUmmieland. In 2016 DU ran off all Bernie supporters in favor of Hillary because her people paid DUmmie Skinner. Now I rarely drop in to troll there because the site’s boring as heck. At least before that they were slightly interesting.

So what’s Twitter’s endgame? Ban all normal people until it comes down to a cage match between Marxists taking on Leninists, Stalinists, Troksyites and Maoists? Would be a pretty sucky site after that.

GOOD LORD!
I have to admit that he wasn't such an UGLY man but as a wannaBEwoman s/he is repulsive.

I find it ABYSSMALLY sad that people SO dislike the gender God gave them that they feel that they must destroy their male part.

They will age like males no matter how many hormones they ingest.
Sad.
