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

Seriously, though, the folks at Twitter don't even have the balls to tell you they are intercepting your messages?

Does anyone know if Twitter is being sued for this behavior?

As of 0800, no.

But it is a private org and they can do as they please.

You use their site, you play by their rules..............

The scary thing is that vast numbers of American citizens have no problem with these tactics.

I answered my own question:

"James Damore, the former Google engineer who was fired after distributing a memo questioning the company’s diversity policies, filed a class-action lawsuit Monday claiming that the technology giant discriminates against white men and conservatives."

Some, a few are. But a great many think it is entirely appropriate to ban ungood speak or write.

(Ungood is a literary reference to George Orwell’s novel, 1984)

Sued? What is illegal about it? Twitter is a private company run by leftist assholes. If you use their product, you are subject to their BS. Best recourse: avoid Twitter.

Shadow banning doesn’t necessarily remove content, it just makes it hard to find. That being the case, Twitter is still a useful source of information and comment. I will lurk, but I will never register and post.
