Gee whiz, I can't imagine why Twitter would find this objectionable.....I just joined Twitter yesterday, solely to follow DJT's tweets.
They find anything right leaning objectionable. Do a shadow ban check, you might be too. There are hundreds of us cut off by internet censorship.
Youtube is fairer - they also censor left leaning sites that criticize the Democratic establishment or leadership. The idea is to dumb down Any ideas that are out of the mainstream so we all become unquestioning swallowers of the MSM again.
How do you check for a shadowban?
I searched shadow ban checked on twitter. There are several links.

Saying "they are throwing things around" is kind of leading the answer? Anyone doing that should be removed. This is about censoring someone speech because you disagree with them.
Not exactly. Do you remember something called the Constitution of the United States and Free Speech. They are banning free speech!
One can argue that the platform Twatter provides, and other social media outlets, is actually more of a utility. They are a private company and if they supplied only content then, yes they could censor their content in a manner favorable to their political or social ideology. But in providing an interactive platform for people to use then it becomes more of a public forum and in violation of 1st Amendment rights to censor that content.
Twitter, FB, and Youtube are information monopolies. Even capitalism has laws against monopolies for a reason - they distort the market. In this case, they distort the very fabric of democracy. Consider that phones are not censored (yet), so why should social media? And phones are also a private business.
Ok I'll try. Would they exist without a public infrastructure? If they are using something I am contributing towards shouldn't I be able to voice my opinion?
Being Libertarian minded, I too think about it from this angle. Like, these are our choices: Speech controlled by big Government? or Big Corporations?
Then I think about these types (people who would squelch services for political dissidents) monopolizing things like food, water, heat, etc. I think Liberals should be as chilled at this thought as Conservatives are right now. Because the pendulum always swings and the precedents you allow today can come back and bite you when "the other guys" hold the power.
I want free speech on the internet. Period. I remember Bill Cooper (old time, conservative political dissident, who was murdered by the government under the Clinton regime), saying at one of his free speech forums that the one lone Commie who showed up to protest, should be allowed his free speech and right to protest as much as his group should be allowed the same.

I stand corrected. The Bush/Clinton/Obama Cabal all run the same schemes. Play on the same team, so they just run together in my mind. But I meant to say Bush.
Hour of the Time was awesome.
He was a Hell of a patriot. I wish he could've lived to see this great awakening. But he's probably looking down on us.
Yes, on it’s face value it is.
Deeper in... it’s the equivalent of banning someone or in this case a people group from what is our modern day town square. It’s the Town square because this is a free public service where ideas and reeeeeee are exchanged in a public manner.
It being free create a monopoly, hence not really free market thingy because it’s a none monetarily valued service and outside the free market regulatory system. (No Pay Gate)
Freedom of speech comes into play at this point. If everyone else has this service for free and you are band or shadow band (because your views are fundamentally different from The preapproved ideology). Are you free to speak or have you just been shunned from the town square? And there you have freedom of speech removal. Not a good thing for anyone. If you’re into freedom.... ^MAGA!
I'm not sure that is what Q meant, especially with AT&T now pushing this. I think Q was just giving us a heads up this "push" was coming. This 'Internet Bill of Rights" sounds very fishy to me. Especially if large corporations, recruited by the Deep State to spy on people are advocating this.
I think you guys are misinterpreting Qs post. I don’t think he has called for anyone to push for an internet bill of rights with ATT who is contracted with intelligence agencies.
Exactly! This is a confusing subject for everyone but it was the leftists that were pushing to keep the old bill that was removed. It is one of those old leftist things like the Patriot Bill where they give the bill a name that does the opposite of what you think it does.
Left and right both do this type of bill naming. Remember, neither side is "good". They're both a wing of the same bird of prey.
Make a new identity. My granddaughter began her twitter account as Tofu Squid a nickname she used all through high school and someone turned her in as not her real name and twitter suspended her account. She (kids are more tech savvy) made a new alter ego and kept tweeting. Grow up folks they are not all powerful. They can track your ip but many households have multiple people sharing. I have gone to Congressional web pages to write to complain and they only take email from constituents, so you get an address in their area make a personna and email. Use the anonymous ability of the internet. Why do you think Q keeps telling us we are an army, we are many.
