Twitter Bans Prominent Pro-Trump Activists as It Fights Censorship Allegations
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jul 2018 | Allum Bokhari

Twitter banned the account of a pro-Trump grassroots campaign with 15 state field directors along with another prominent Trump supporter, failing to reinstate the accounts on the same day that the company came under fire from the president himself for discrimination against conservatives. Eight days ago, Twitter banned the account of a pro-Trump grassroots organization called New Right US (@newrightus.) Co-founded by political activist Mike Tokes, the account represented an organization that mobilizes Trump supporters around the country.

“We have over 15 state directors and a team of social media influencers throughout the country” said Tokes. “It wasn’t just some website with no action. We were really expanding.”

Because Twitter refuses to be transparent about the reasons it suspends accounts, it did not inform the owners of @newrightus, or Breitbart News, why the account had been suspended. Tokes says the account, which accumulated approximately 10,000 followers prior to its suspension, had not engaged in any rule-violating behavior.

Tokes says Twitter initially restricted the account for seven days, but that “now it shows no option to reactivate, meaning it’s permanent.”

Perhaps you haven’t noticed, on both a national and international scale, FB and Twitter have taken on a reach and impact on our daily lives that far exceeds what Ma Bell could have ever dreamed of.

If you want to quote President Reagan:

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

It appears you want the government to help you in your quest to regulate business.

I will stand with President Reagan on his view of government and regulation.

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

I agree “hypocrisy” is accurate, but it doesn’t seem specific enough.

"hypocrisy with criminal intent".
