Twitter users have reacted to Breitbart London editor in chief Raheem Kassam receiving a seven-day ban from the platform after he received a stream of abuse online from hard-left activists. The ban came shortly after Kassam was revealed to be on a ‘hitlist’ of right-wing Twitter users targeted by a left-wing group, forcing the website to shut down their accounts through concentrated mass-reporting.

Twitter can go down in a ball of fire. So sick of SJWs lecturing the rest of us. Hypocrites.

Wow that was fast..!

I added him on Twitter just 9 or 10 days ago..!

He had a big surge of followers because Joseph Paul Watson interviewed him on YouTube about 10 days ago.

Eventually, Twitter will ban all of the people that have something to say, and that I follow.

Then it will be a total liberal echo chamber, even worse than it is now.

I’d participate in this hashtag campaign but I think I’m already shadow banned by Twitter, so it wouldn’t make any difference.

Any organization that is not set up explicitly as “right wing” or “conservative” inevitably and almost immediately drifts to leftism and fascism. Craigslist, facebook, google, and twitter are only the most obvious examples that immediately come to mind.

Double that for any “review” section. We’ve seen many victims of the leftist mobs in the yelp, ebay, and comment sections who hate somebody not toeing the totalitarian line.

Can we just agree that social media platforms like Twitter, are just a form of entertainment?

Seriously, it doesn’t matter who’s banned etc.

The whole point to any news online is clickbait... Can they get you to clickT. Breitbart has morphed into the most clickbaity of sites since Andrews demise.

Twitter serves one purpose: Celebrity news, this includes Trumps tweets which then gets reported in the off line news. Other than that, you are watching a soap opera featuring e-celebs whose reach is predominantly made up of right leaning citizens in blue states.

I work in digital media, the metrics and outrage used to expand reach are formulaic.

“I think I’m already shadow banned by Twitter”

If you’re not shadow banned by Twitter already, you’re doing it wrong :)
