Full title..............Twitter Reverses Ruling After Backlash, Concedes It’s Against The Rules To Wish Death Upon Dana Loesch’s Children.................Twitter reversed course Monday and suspended a Twitter account that said National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch “has to have her children murdered.”
“The only way these people learn is if it affects them directly,” Twitter user Milan Legius wrote in a reply to Loesch on Sunday. “So if Dana Loesch has to have her children murdered before she’ll understand, I guess that’s what needs to happen.”
Twitter initially ruled on Sunday that after “carefully” reviewing the reported tweet, that it had “no violation of the Twitter Rules against abusive behavior.” (RELATED: Twitter Algorithm Buried Republicans For Something Totally Out Of Their Control)
Following news coverage from media outlets including The Daily Caller News Foundation, Twitter “re-reviewed” the report on Monday and changed its ruling.
“We have re-reviewed the account you reported and have locked it because we found it to be in violation of the Twitter Rules,” Twitter wrote in an email to Dana’s husband Chris Loesch, who shared it with TheDCNF.

Liberal tolerance on display.
Leftists don’t seem to have a single gene related to good ‘reasoning’.
I guess that’s how they wound up in that camp in the first place.
Leftist policy has never worked. They don’t have the genes to accept that.
Another “Oh, Sh*t, we got caught!” moment for the Left.
That they got it wrong in the first place is disturbing.
I hope I live to see the day when Twitter, Facebook, et al, are all put out of business and their “owners” made penniless by reason of successful lawsuits against them.
These “businesses” were set up with one thought in mind ( besides making a $hitload of money for their liberal trash owners) to control what all of us gets to know. They are all about as anti-First Amendment as they can be.
Twitter = Fakebook = Spotify = Google = Amazon = Yahoo = BIASED LIARS!!
It’s ok. I’m sure they still feel they got it right the first time, and that Big Media has further obliged to get the poster’s VERY IMPORTANT message out to the public regarding what should befall Dana’s children.
In their Bizarro World, only Trump supporters can be bullies.
That’s mighty white of them.
What is disturbing is all the others banned/not banned who do not get attention and are not reversed
For every high profile reversal Twitter is forced to make, there are probably a dozen users who diligently built a 10,000 follower base over a long period, that are conservative, and had their work destroyed; because they said “kill” in a tweet.
Twitter will die as soon as POTUS relocates to another platform, and becomes an on-line version of MSNBC/CNN/PBS.
They don’t like doing that. They do it only when their blatant bias and hypocrisy are revealed, and then they go back to their blatant bias and hypocrisy and promote the left and trash normal people.
they ruled it wasn’t an abuse because they want the “other side” to be terrorized and attacked
It feels more and more like we’re coming to war. There seems to be no damper on the left’s extremism. I pray for my children.
Protect Free Speech in the Digital Public Square
Created by W.C. on August 28, 2018
The internet is the modern public square. It is where political campaigns are fought and won, where journalism is created and distributed, and where grassroots movements are born. Yet, the free and open internet has become a controlled, censored space, monopolized by a few unaccountable corporations.
By banning users from their platforms, those corporations can effectively remove politically unwelcome Americans from the public square. That is repugnant to our shared values of free speech and freedom of the press.
The President should request that Congress pass legislation prohibiting social media platforms from banning users for First Amendment-protected speech. The power to block lawful content should be in the hands of individual users – not Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey.

Twitter is a liberal censorship organization. They quickly censor non-liberal statement but drag their feet until there is overwhelming public opinion before they’ll censor liberal statements.
Exactly
This should have been an automatic no-brained. It just shows Twitter’s self-admitted bias.
More like after being embarrassed by having their blatant hypocrisy shoved in their faces repeatedly, Twitter backtracked.........this time......to make it go away.
Yep. I support this. The alternative is removing section 320 protection and anti trust lawsuits from the DOJ.
