Twitter Declares War on Conservatives: More Pro-Trump Accounts Purged Overnight
Last weekend, conservatives discovered that both Twitter and Facebook had launched a grand purge of nationalist-populist (as they prefer to call themselves) users. Alex Jones, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson, Tommy Robinson, and Laura Loomer were all targeted, albeit not all by the same social media at the same time. The bans and suspensions inspired Human Events editor Raheem Kassam to predict that there were more waves to come:
This prediction is right on the money: Monday night, several other rightwing accounts were banned. Among them a parody account of Alexandra Occasio-Cortez, Jewish conservative @OfficeOfMike, and even the @MAGAphobia account whose admin was Jack Posobiec
@JackPosobiec: I started @Magaphobia as an acct to track violence against Trump supporters all in one place
In its explanation of the ban on the AOC parody account, Twitter pretended that it wasn't made clear in the user's name and bio that it was indeed parody. However, that's not true at all:
@RaheemKassam: So @twitter has today suspended @AOCPress, which had “parody” in both its name AND its bio. Yet they claim to allow parody in the suspension email itself. Hey @realdonaldtrump your followers are now being mass culled ahead of the election
As former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani rightfully puts it, these purges are nothing less than censorship.
It's clear: liberal Silicon Valley has picked a side with regards to the upcoming 2020 elections. All those who dare disagree are at risk of losing their accounts and therefore their audience.
