Twitter has been censoring anyone who effectively communicates right-wing values. They have shadowbanned, locked accounts, and outright deleted accounts for little more than tagging a (((verified))) user with a pepe or with criticism of the libshit agenda. I personally know many people who have been silenced by twitter in these ways.

Here's where it gets interesting: there is a valid court case to be made against Twitter for their censorship. I'll post the pertinent links below. Please spread this around since nixing the censorship would be a major blow to shareblue and the rest of (((them))).

–Government can stop private businesses from censoring on their property if it is considered a PUBLIC FORUM

Twitter is a publicly traded company.
They are in Cali so the private property ruling from the Prunyard Shopping Center v. Robins case applies.

tl;dr: Twitter can be legally sued with a high probability of success in a class action lawsuit, and such cases are already being pursued. Please spread this around since nixing the censorship would be a major blow to shareblue and the rest of (((them))). Also Twiter fucking sucks so there's that.

ITS TIME

Not to mention shit like #PodestaEmails where Twitter tried over and over again to delete the hashtag while users just made new ones.

And Twitter moments covering nothing over any of the stupid shit like Kathy Griffin but instead documenting people who saw Clinton taking a walk.

Autists please help this is some serious shit and easy as fuck to prove in a court

Bump for importance

Even if it is a valid legal issue it's a stupid one. A private company like twitter should be able to censor or ban users at their discretion. Don't like it? Great, nobody's making you use twitter dummy.

While the right was working to expand the US and make it the most powerful nation in the world, the left was establishing infrastructure to subvert and take it over. Time to dismantle the left's authoritarian tools.

Interesting. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, a privately owned website ought to be able to ban people it doesn't like. On the other hand, there are some monopoly issues going on here. It's hard to compete with companies that have such large userbases like Facebook and Twitter. I guess I'll have to support this just on the basis of supporting free speech. I think the law may be on our sides.

/Pol/. We should meme this and trend this, as much and as big as the CNN meme war now too. We can use both this Twitter censorship, and the CNN blackmail to decimate the liberals. This is some powerful fire we got going on here.

For the exchange of political ideas, Facebook and Twitter have taken a completely monopolization over it. You have to use it.

>>132433326
They should have to inform you of it though. There is surely a case to be made against shadow banning people.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
