Gotcha, but they may have more legal problems because of shareholders and the SEC with their practices

[Elsie]

Talk to the hand...

Advertisers pay for the ads, of course, but they aren’t affected by the banning........

[reed13k]

Sure they are if they post things associated with their account that Twitter deems unacceptable.

[Red Badger]

If you are paying me big bucks, it’s acceptable...............

"The telescreen recieved and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it;

moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard.

 

There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.

How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork.

It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever the wanted to.

 

You had to live- did live, from habit that became instinct- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

Yup. On Twitter.

Should a publicly traded collective be allowed enjoy the the privilege of corporate charter when it so blatantly operates antagonistically against the public interest represented by spirit of the 1st Amendment?

[CottonBall]

Is it? Well then that should change everything

[Red Badger]

They will continue as long as the stock price increases.................

Can someone tell me WHY this same article was deleted from Breaking News when I posted it there, about 9:30 central time this am?

[PMAS]

Yes on the NASDAQ - Twitter, Inc. (TWTR)

[Red Badger]

Because it had already been posted at 0811 CST and was subsequently pulled out of there by the mods.......

[Hotlanta Mike]

And so it begins...

BREAKING: Chuck Johnson starts “Make Twitter Great Again” crowdfunding campaign to sue Twitter for censoring conservatives.

“This is your last chance to stop Twitter from stealing the next election by stopping them in court.”

Seen on the Donald reddit board—
“Jack is using machine learning to reduce the influence of Trump supporters. This makes Twitter a political Superpac. Superpacs fall under strict regulations. Be careful @Jack”

More—
“also, if Twitter decides to ‘curate’ user content are they not then responsible for the content that stays up? Like if there are Twitter accounts calling for assassinations or such and Twitter does not take those down while they are taking other content down isn’t Twitter supporting/endorsing the assassination content? I am sure another pede can put this in the proper legal terminology, but I remember this point coming up when Spez was editing user comments and pedes were saying that Spez just opened the door to being accountable for all of the content posted on Reddit. They basically forfeited their neutral position of just being a public board with no control over content.”

And more—
“Suppressing conservative voices on Twitter clearly amounts to a “gift in kind” to the leftists

The value to the left would be huge $$

This angle is VERY important to push. Huge legal, $ ramifications here”

Twitter, continue to do things like this, and your brand and business will be as well remembered in 30 years as Betamax is today...

 

That and worse, particularly for Google, who as we all know, is also an active party in the public/private axis of technological fascism. Google was great - I could put in whatever phrase, name, description and - BAM - a pile of accurate results to choose from, with exactly what I was looking for typically in the first five results. Have noticed in the past few years that now there's feeble, irrelevant or gibberish results turning up, without any terms I was searching for even present or bolded. Evidently they have filtered and tampered with the search algorithms so much that searches are fouled up. Like Twitter they are in the business to provide a service and in their rush to be activist and go outside the range of their expertise they are sabotaging the primary reasons for their existence. They all need to back off the filters, restore their original unfettered algorithms, get out and stay out of politics - probably wishful thinking but that's what they need to do to rehabilitate their image and preserve their business models.

I understand butterdezillion's account here was suspended from posting for one week five hours or so ago, for no stated reason.

[Fedora]

Not to mention violating the terms of service of individuals and businesses who paid to advertise on Twitter.

[2harddrive]

But WHY would the Mods pull that first posting? It is not like it is not VERY IMPORTANT news.

[Red Badger]

I guess it didn’t rate ‘BREAKING NEWS’ with them!................
