I can't stand twitter or Jack either, but aiding and abetting seems a bit strong... and its not like Twitter is as important as the writer of this article thinks it is.

If one was cynical enough to theorize that all this drama was intended to create a totalitarian back lash earlier this year then they'd think that the views in this article and how they are represented would help validate that opinion. I'm not there yet, but I've always been cynical.

Lets not forget how similar the present is to all the inflated communist and fascist bullshit that was happening worldwide 100 years ago and how those two parties were set up to be against each other, but later when they both achieved their goals in different countries, the results were about the same.

Indeed. It's this type of language which leads to social media heads becoming censors. They are constantly having to defend themselves for other people's actions.

when the government was questioning dorsey and that facebook zuckerberg, they are the kind of people that find it to be impossible to speak the truth..

neither one of em could seem to remember a fucking thing, or they dont know anything about anything..

they should be glad that i am not the president, cuz i would toss em both in a prison cell for contempt for about six months and then we would see if they had gotten a grip on their memory banks.

bitches.

This is revisionist. Twitter was censoring people long before there was ever any kind of criticism. To now claim that they did that because of this criticism is absurd. Especially given that even with this kind of criticism they refuse to apply the same restrictions to these terrorists as they do to even the most benign conservative views.

I don't think you fully understand how far Twitter has gone to aid terrorists. When they already developed the tools to censor conservatives and then refuse to apply those tools to diminish left wing terrorist actions that is not a passive role. They are willfully participating at that point. It is not simply that they have a platform and terrorists use it. Twitter willfully provides access that is not available to everyone.
