UPDATED: Sargon of Akkad Suspended From Twitter Due To Fake Tweet (Social Media Censorship)

Much like I agree with the baker who does not want to make a gay cake, twitter can ban who they like. Don't like it go elsewhere.
Its twitter's game, and their rules.

A person who is banned by them also has the right to call them out on their bullshit, and to urge others to boycott their services.

I have no problem with that either.
I just tired of people changing their beliefs based on the offending party.
I have no idea who the dude that got banned it, due to I only follow news, sports or gamblers on twitter, I am not big on pundits.

There will be subpoenas and arrests

For what?

 

[SRN]

I remember ISIS was pretty active on twitter. Did twitter ban them?

 

[Makani]

For what?

I meant if his Twitter were banned. The actual charges could be made up later.

Sargon of Akkad has been dead for over 4000 years. Surprised he uses social media.

His descendants should be getting a cut of this dude's profits.

 

[SRN]

Was?

Well, there was never a @Isis but they used to spread their messages and videos romanticizing jihad on twitter. That's how they attracted so many young people from all over the world to either support or join them. They made terrorism pop in a way. Fucked up.

To my knowledge Twitter has done nothing to shut down Islamists or people making left wing threats on Twitter but for some reason Libertarians are getting banned every 3 weeks.

This is the second time in 2 months that Sargon has been suspended on twitter, the first time following a tweet to an EU official questioning the link between Islamic migration and increased terrorism. This is causing growing concern that Social Media giants are supposedly censoring non-left wing outlets in order to silence their message. Sargon joins the list of Lauren Southern, Tommy Sotomayor, Blaire White, and Milo Yiannopoulos who have been suspended and banned on social media platforms for their views and their seems to be a recent increased effort to silence them.

You might have the wrong time stamp. The reasons why he got banned start from the beginning. Faked kiddy porn messages from him, basically.

Update: Twitter reversed their bans hours after he released this video. He's back up

Drudge was talking about this a year or two ago. He warned independants to create their own platforms instead of depending too much on twitter, youtube, facebook and such as they can be censored there at any point in time.

Conservatives should join Gab. Would be interesting to see Trump officially endorse another social media platform than Twitter.

Yeah, the video explains why because I didn't have the tweet itself

 

[HIMBOB]

Isn't this where conservatives say Twitter is a private company and can do what it wants to do?

Only sometimes

 

[TheComebackKid]

The left are just terrible people

To your knowledge sure but do you really believe that is the case? Seriously?

Over the last few months there was MANY examples of radical extremists on twitter as well as people making death threats who did not see any punishment against their channels, as a matter of fact, many of those accounts are still active today. They were promotion far more extreme views than Milo or Sargon who saw their account shut down multiple times.

wtf happened to the first amendment? So you can't spread lies now? Where in the TOS does it say that? wtf is twitter anyways..we should boycott and start a petition

Twitter sounds like a gathering place for twats.
