It Seems Twitter's
'Trust and Safety Council' Is Working Overtime to Ban Conservatives
BY JIM TREACHER AUGUST 15, 2018
Sometimes I
think all the hand-wringing about some sort of online "war on
conservatives" is silly. Sure, dude, maybe nobody is paying attention to
your brilliant tweets because you've been shadowbanned. Perhaps Twitter's "Trust
& Safety Council" really is keeping you from reaching
the audience you deserve. Or maybe you're just boring and kind of dumb? I tend
to be skeptical of these complaints, but it's possible that there really is an
ongoing conspiracy to silence half the country. I have to admit, it would
explain why I keep getting suspended from Twitter for no good reason. Maybe
Twitter really is out to get conservatives, even us RINO cuck #NeverTrump
traitors who probably love Hillary.
Just yesterday, I got locked out of my
main Twitter account (@jtLOL) for 12 hours:
Then it was restored,
with the following in lieu of an explanation:
What rule did I break? I have no idea,
and apparently they're not going to tell me. How do I avoid breaking that rule
again? Beats me. It's tough to avoid repeating the infraction if I don't know
what it was. (Good lookin' out, Franz Kafka.)
Several other non-liberals I know also got a
12-hour lockout at the exact same time. Why? They don't know
either.
At least this time, I only got locked
out of my account. A few weeks ago I was suspended
outright, based on false reports by
alt-right trolls. My account was then reinstated, and this is the
closest I got to an explanation:
And this is just the
latest incident. Last year I got suspended for using the wrong emojis to
describe leftist darling Bradley Manning:
That was dumb, but at least I knew my
"crime."
Twitter can make up any rules it wants
and enforce those rules any way it wants. And its users can point out when
stuff like this happens to them for no given reason.
In the meantime, the effort to erase Alex Jones from the
Internet continues. I do not like Jones, which is why I only
pay attention to him when people are telling me why I shouldn't pay attention
to him. Lately that effort has been driven by CNN's Oliver
Darcy:
Twitter said
Friday that the accounts belonging to far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
and his fringe media organization InfoWars would, for now, remain online, one
day after a CNN
investigation found that Jones' Twitter accounts appeared to
have repeatedly violated the company's rules.
That's right: CNN is
"investigating" tweets by a guy they don't like because Twitter
hasn't given into the outrage mob and banned him yet. It's not enough that
Twitter gives you the tools to block any other user, or mute them, or even mute
entire conversations and/or certain words. That's insufficient. Nobody else should be able to see the stuff that you don't like.
Twitter spox confirms to me that the company has limited
key functions on Alex Jones’ account after determining he violated another one
of network’s policies. He can still browse Twitter, but can’t tweet, retweet,
etc. for 7 days. Jones also required to delete offending tweet.
#Journalism!
If you want to prove that Alex Jones is
just a paranoid conspiracy theorist and he's wrong when he says you're out to
get him, this seems like an odd way to show him up.
I know what you're saying, Dear Reader.
You're sneering at me for whining about Twitter because Twitter is for
losers. Well then, answer me one thing: Did you vote for this guy?
The Rigged Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on as the
“originators and founders” of this scam continue to be fired and demoted for
their corrupt and illegal activity. All credibility is gone from this terrible
Hoax, and much more will be lost as it proceeds. No Collusion!
No further
questions.
