Despite Twitter’s Protests, The Stifling of Conservative Speech On The Platform Is Real
The Federalist ^ | 8/24/2018 | David Reaboi and Nick Short

Americans from across the political spectrum are beginning to realize that unaccountable tech oligarchs are no better enforcers of political morality than a government censor.

Twitter does not discriminate against conservative viewpoints. That’s the story the social media giant desperately wants to tell — from their CEO Jack Dorsey’s interviews, to their employees tasked with outreach to conservatives in their Washington offices. Literally, it’s true. The complete picture, however, is less flattering to the social media giant.

Ping.

And in reality, how are we to tell whether the government is behind it or not?

We need immediate legislation to prohibit discrimination based on political beliefs in the stream of commerce or in public accommodation as violating the commerce clause and the 14th amendment guaranty of equal protection. No one should be denied a posting unless it is profane, No bank should deny credit because of a persons political belief or he owns guns. If we don’t do something we will live in Orwellian tyranny like you cannot imagine. This need immediate attention but the senate and the House are on a damned vacation while Rome is burning.

Conservatives are far more effective at using Twitter. They had to be suppressed.

Twitter has spent large sums developing software to block conservative tweets “for the principal purpose of influencing the election”. Twitter has committed a campaign finance violation!
