Twitter locks LifeSite out of account for ‘hate’: fact-based post on rise in gay STDs
Lifesitenews ^ | October 18th 2018 | Lifesitenews

Twitter has just locked LifeSiteNews out of our Twitter account over an article we posted four years ago that provided expert analysis on the rise in sexually-transmitted diseases among homosexuals.

The 2014 piece by Dr. Gerard M. Nadal, a molecular biologist and microbiologist who is also president and CEO of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, responds to media coverage of what was at the time the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s new annual report on STDs.

Contrary to the consensus that the “reason for the documented continued rise in syphilis (primarily affecting homosexuals) has more to do with homophobia than anything else,” Dr. Nadal attributes the rise to factor such as an “upward trend in unprotected sex” and 60% of homosexual men failing to disclose their symptoms or status to sex partners.

He cited data from mainstream sources such as the CDC, a then-recent New York Times report, and a 2006 study in the journal AIDS Behavior.

On October 18, 2018, however, LifeSiteNews received the following message, notifying staff that Twitter was locking the account because the 2014 tweet sharing the story’s neutral, factual headline violated “our rules against hateful conduct,” and somehow “promote[d] violence against, threaten[ed], or harass[ed] other people on the basis of [...] sexual orientation [...], or serious disease."

No further elaboration was given. A length of time for the lockout was not specified. The only recourse offered was for LifeSite to remove the tweet or start an appeal process. For the moment, LifeSite staff cannot post to or otherwise operate @LifeSite in any way.

“This total intolerance for even reporting government health dept statistics that reveal the health dangers of homosexual activity betrays what Peter Thiel, himself a homosexual, previously called a totalitarian mindset in Silicon Valley,” said Steve Jalsevac, co-founder and president of

I’m guessing the Twitter executives live far away from where any irate former twitterers could find and punish them.

" No explanation was ever given."

Simple... "Gay" & "Patriot" as one word clearly implies someone is a "hateful", traitorous, gay "Uncle Tom" equivalent...

An antitrust prosecution may well be in their future.

It's easy for me to suspect that Zuckerberg is almost as filthy as Soros or Steyer.

I certainly see them as a regulated body sooner rather than later ,, the stench coming from their banning of conservatives and only conservatives and the coordination with FB , alphabet and others calls for it...

“Twitter is going to get their asses regulated.”

This needs to be put at the very top of the TO DO list.

Yep. They are going to get forced to stop discriminating against customers since they won’t stop it on their own.

It would be different if the internet hadn’t become the new public square, and if these companies didn’t exert the “market power” characteristic of near monopolies.

The First Amendment only prohibits government censorship.

Individuals and corporations are free to decide what speech to allow.

What Twitter is doing is all perfectly legal.

I’m guessing that a bunch of gay activists launched complaints about that tweet after digging it up.

So will you be unhappy when they get treated as the internet equivalent of a common carrier?

No, you are wrong. They have crossed the line from private player to public player. A private monopoly on information is 1,000 times worse than a monopoly on oil or steel or railroads.

They are too big and too powerful and what they are doing is illegal.
