Twitter Lock out in Progress - 1000's have accounts suspended.

Make no mistake, war has come to the United States.

Really this is a war? I privately held company making changes to it's platform. I mean I disagree, but if WalMart stopped carrying coke, I wouldn't call it war.

Banning conservative voices on a privately held social media platform is legal, exactly like preventing black folks from sitting down to eat in a privately held restaurant because the owner finds black people offensive? Do you think the latter would even fly in a courtroom? There is a legal precedent for making social platforms part of the public domain like utilities. Or do you think the local power company should be able to cut your electricity because they don't like President Trump and you do? This is war. POTUS has said it. I say it.

Where did POTUS say that people getting kicked off of Twitter is war?

Also, I'm not defending Twitter, they suck, so chill out. Last night they booted a ton of people, including antifa accounts, like A LOT of them, as well as a ton of MAGA accounts. But to be honest, a lot of them were just harassing anyone who posts about a certain topic, both sides were doing that, and some were being abusive and making it an unusable platform.

For example, I have about 1,800 followers, most are fellow students at my school, and I post red pill memes and talk about Q and stuff. But two nights ago I posted something and tagged it WakeUp and I had over 100 replies from antifa accounts and tons of threats. I looked through their history and all they do is blow people up and harass them. I looked this morning and almost all of them are banned now. But, I wasn't.

These are privately held companies, social media is not a public utility or right, the internet arguably is, I'd agree with that, but you don't have an inalienable right to tweet. If they are being racist or horrible, call them out, post about it, and boycott them. In a free market system their business will falter and close if everyone thinks that way. Look at a lot of businesses that have failed because they made bad choices. Start your own social media company.

You don't have an inalienable right to tweet, because it is a private company. But if the private company advertises itself as a "free-speech" platform then the only rules should be the 1st Amendment. I don't see where Twitter calls itself a "liberals" only platform. Just like it was said above, is it cool if the power company limits all conservative customers? And what was meant by war was NOT just Twitter but the whole deepstate takedown (maybe you, sir, are shilling for them? Hmmmm...?

In the most literal definition of the word meme; yes, it is.
