My Pillow guy Mike Lindell permanently banned from Twitter
New York Post ^ | 01/26/2021 | Noah Manskar

Posted on 01/26/2021 9:34:22 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Twitter banned My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell from the platform after he used his account to spread baseless claims about fraud in the presidential election.

Twitter said Tuesday that it permanently suspended Lindell — a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump — because of his “repeated violations” of the company’s civic integrity policy, which it implemented last fall to clamp down on misinformation.

Twitter didn’t say which of Lindell’s posts pushed it over the edge. But he had used his personal account and My Pillow’s corporate account in recent months to post and share bogus rumors about widespread election fraud that appeared aimed at undermining President Biden’s victory.

Lindell — who features prominently in My Pillow’s TV ads — has refused to walk back the claims even though they’ve been rejected by courts across the country.

Dominion Voting Systems has also threatened him with a lawsuit for falsely accusing the company of “stealing millions of votes.” Trump and his surrogates have also propagated bogus claims about Dominion’s voting machines.

Lindell reportedly said last week that retail chains including Kohl’s and Bed Bath & Beyond had dropped My Pillow’s products after he made a trip to the White House to discuss alleged election fraud with Trump.

Twitter booted Lindell less than three weeks after it banned Trump from the platform while he was still in office, a controversial decision that raised questions about the company’s power to police government officials.

"rejected by courts".

It's not about guilt or innocence, evidence or testimony. It's about fear. The courts are afraid of the Cancel Culture. The courts won't touch this stuff. Won't hear the cases. They just reject the idea. Mike isn't afraid.

So what.

That is a good thing for his business.

I have purchased many products from his website, which is the best and cheapest way to buy all of his products.

Stores, that still may be unWoke, are unable to stock most of his products anyway and their prices are inflated.

On June 12, 1775 there was a proclamation offering amnesty to rebellious colonists. The historical document is listed under:
Proclamation of amnesty in Boston to all but Samuel Adams and John Hancock.

Isn’t this like 2021 America? Speak or act in a meaningful manner and you get cancelled.

That is to chill the dissent from all others who see the example. Really bad news.

I thought baseless claims were the bread and butter of Twitter.

His My Pillow is truly an excellent product. Love mine. They last incredibly long and are easy maintenance.

Rudy’s case might provide an opportunity but my guess is that the courts will not allow full discovery at any time.

Yes.
Its almost as good as Freerepublic.
And they are financed just like Freerepublic, by contributions from the users. That way, no one can blackmail them by canceling their ad revenue platform. There are no ads.
