Lol at the downvotes on my comment. Milo was only banned because he is conservative.

Kill cops and pro ISIS accounts post on there by the thousands and not a god damn thing is done.

It's a terrible move from an image standpoint, but they're a private company that provides a service that's free to users, so they are entirely within their rights to ban whomever the heck they please.



Yup.

To take it a step further Twitter's shareholders want user growth and more active users, but to do that basically means courting more women which means they got to soften the place up.

I think its a good move on their part.

Didn't she accidentally post something she meant to send as a DM? I can't remember what it was exactly.

Wrong.

quote:

Twitter says that since the middle of last year it has suspended 125,000 accounts “for threatening or promoting terrorist acts, primarily related to ISIS.”


quote:

Twitter added it works with law-enforcement agencies when appropriate and partners with groups that work to counter extremist content online.


I'm also willing to bet what hasn't been shut down is kept open with law enforcement blessing in order to track their membership.

Well, it is Twitter that controls their users. Is there another source you'd prefer that has access to that information? I don't see you providing anything to back up your statement on ISIS accounts?

Most liberal outlets want to ban or inhibit conservatives from voicing their thoughts and opinions.

Google just recently admitted to changing search results on conservative topics.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you all' definition of "private company" Twitter is absolutely not a private company. Very much traded publicly although probably not much longer as they will likely be bankrupt within the next few years.

They're within their rights, but they can't claim that they don't have an agenda. Actual terrorists are not banned from Twitter.

Milo teased that big black lady from Ghostbusters.

Now patiently waiting for someone to report back about the results of downloading his OS.

Damn..I just skimmed more of his tweets. That dude is one sick frick. He should be on a psychopath watch list.

He seriously gives me the creeps...He is extremely disturbing in his ramblings.
