Twitter blocks prolife ads until they delete tweets calling for defunding Planned Parenthood

How rude.

" Double standard: @PPact is allowed to advertise on @Twitter, but our ads have been blocked until we delete tweets. https://t.co/QlPSItKYFx "

— Live Action (@LiveAction) June 27, 2017

Via Live Action News:

"While Planned Parenthood is allowed to advertise on Twitter, the social media company has suppressed Live Action’s ads, calling our pro-life messages offensive and inflammatory. What exactly is Twitter calling so offensive and inflammatory? Tweeting a picture of a child developing in the womb and saying that we believe in the right to life. Or tweeting ultrasound images, like the ones that most expectant moms hang on their refrigerator doors.

"Planned Parenthood is allowed to tweet that a woman has a right to an abortion, but when Live Action tweets that a baby has a right to life, Twitter considers that “inflammatory” and “offensive.”"

Granted, Twitter is a privately-owned company and can set whatever rules it wants around the type of ads it will allow on its site. No one is arguing that point, it’s just a pathetic and obnoxious bias that they’re not even trying to hide anymore.

Twitter has told us that we must delete:

1.all of our tweets calling for the end of taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood,
2.all of our tweets of our undercover investigations into Planned Parenthood, and
3.any ultrasound images of preborn children.

Well, we’re finally getting to the heart of which issues the Left is willing to trash the First Amendment over.

RED ALERT:

These are the same murderous rulers that killed 20,000,000 people in China alone.

We are at war with the devil himself, don’t ever forget that.

There is a reason Hillary always dresses like the communist Chinese.

The Left loves to silence speech. But, in situations like this, it doesn't involve the First Amendment.

Twitter makes their $$$ off people using their “free” product. Given that, I have no idea, in situations like this, why people keep using it & making Twitter richer.

It’s ironic that “my body, my choice” doesn’t seem to apply to China’s one-child policy.

Twitter is a left-wing platform. I'm not sure what the point of complaining about it is. It's their platform, they can support who they want to, or suppress who they want to.

The alternative is here. Use it: Gab

here is their motto:

GAB | Free Speech for Everyone

If someone built one, and Trump graced it with his presence, it could really take off.

Go to GAB. They are a conservative alternative to Twitter and they don't censor people's opinions. They need to grow big enough to put Twitter out of business.

I am of the opinion that when the method of conveying speech is a monopoly, the first amendment makes it fair game for forced government regulation to prevent censorship.

Unless something has changed, last I heard Twitter has yet to make a nickle. They are hugely in debt, and their entire business is so far sustained by stock sales which for some bizarre reason keep going up.

As a business, Twitter is a money loser.
