View Full Version : So Twitter just suspended me...

And in the link they provided me, I can dispute the suspension.

In the space used to dispute my suspension I just wrote: "F*ck you guys!"


Then in the field where they ask for my name, I just wrote: "F*ck you, that's my name!"


I'll let you guys know what transpires from this. Would be hilarious if they permanently banned/deleted my account.



I'm the real ANTIFA.

I'm fighting for free speech here, fellas. You may not like what I have to say, but that's okay. Being silenced is one of the worst things that can happen in a supposed free society.


Hate speech or any speech you disagree with IS free speech. If we keep going down this path, we're going to create a society that will be afraid to show dissent and disagree with a popular opinion. Reminds me of certain society from the 30's and 40's over in Europe.

They suspended me for 24 hrs for saying „are you retarded“ to someone.

That is, as long as I remove the comment. I haven‘t.

But its not visible anyway.

So they just make it humiliating on the person having to „remove“ the tweet.

Amazing to me that small government conservatives think private companies should be forced to follow free speech rules applied to the government. Nobody has to let you use their business platform for your purposes. Your freedoms entitle you to make your own twitter. Not to use theirs any way you want. If you do a decent job you can then place your rules on it....

There's a lot of truth to this, however, the world has changed in 2020. Technology has shifted significantly and the platform that these companies offer is completely unrivaled in the rest of society. You know it, and I know it.

Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc... have a disproportionate impact on society for every day people to voice their opinions. This didn't exist in this fashion in the past... and now these companies are essentially choosing what they believe is true and what is not which is widely consumed. These platforms collectively are consumed by the public more than any other venue. It's a problem.

I agree with you in part, but I disagree with you in part. I don't have an easy answer. I'm not sure there is one.

There's more nuance here than you're leading on because... you want to troll or whatever it is, IDK.

We don't think they should be forced to follow free speech rules, it's their company, however we are perfectly within our right to point out their obvious hypocrisy

Most people on the right have happy fulfilling lives. Everyone knows, from companies, to social media, to the government, that people on the right have thicker skin and get less outraged and triggered by minor stuff, which is why they appease the left because they won't receive the same backlash from the right like they do from the left. The left has too much time on their hands and are ready to go to war for the most minor of perceived slights or what they think is injustice (which they see everywhere they look)

Bingo.

Not being given a voice on Twitter or another huge platform, means having significantly less of a voice.

You are not allowed to engage in mass discourse anymore.

And since you those platforms make a lot of money, they should carry some responsibility of being at least neutral.

Now it seems it falls to the liberal to defend the free market. Twilight zone shit.

There was no twitter or reddit or whatever...then the internet provided thousands of options and the market gave several disproportionate power. I will not use being better than a gang of shitty startups that came along with them against a big private company. They have the exact share of the market that the people of this country and the world gave them of their free will because of them doing an excellent job.

Yet another point....

Twitter might NOT be around....because their power is the people who choose them. Their platform is nothing without the free market deciding to use it. How long since you signed onto MySpace?

You wanna make the rules make a better platform the people choose.

It happens. It’s gonna keep happening.

Who ever heard of tik tok? Then it’s a direct line to every 16 year old on the planet.

Your role is to do better than them or support those trying. Not to go big government and police the right of private business to decide who they cater to.

Maybe take the route of conservatives on the internet being a suspect class and go for protections like gays from discrimination but I suspect 50 people have tried that and been laughed out of a courtroom. It’s worth a google though.

It's pretty easy... none of these companies made their political viewpoints a part of their growth to power. Sure, the free market could take them down over the long run, but the damage done to society in the mean time... lol.

All that aside? We don't even have a free market anyways because of all the useful idiots on both sides of the aisle in Washington along with a largely ignorant populace that are constantly interested in increasing the scope of the federal government.

Know what’s funny? This conservative free speech startup social media is having problems....enforcing its free speech crushing rules.




John Matze, CEO of Parler, a buzzy Twitter clone for conservatives, has a message for users trying to test the boundaries of the service’s free speech ethos: Free speech has its limits.Posting pictures of fecal matter is prohibited, he wrote this week after seeing far too much fecal matter. He also reminded users that they can’t post pornography, like a digitally altered picture that went viral, showing a naked President Trump getting a spray tan. And obscene usernames are forbidden—free speech be damned.
Over the past few months, a growing number of conservatives who feel unfairly censored by Twitter (https://fortune.com/company/twitter/) and Facebook (https://fortune.com/company/facebook/) have flocked to the friendlier pixels of Parler. President Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, along with conservative media organizations like Breitbart News and the Washington Examiner, have all joined recently.
But as the number of users climbs above 1 million, Parler is coming to terms with just how complicated policing the service can be. Despite the supposed hands-off philosophy, Matze is increasingly hands-on—much like Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and, to a lesser extent, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who steps in reluctantly. “As soon as the press started picking up, we had a ton of violations,” says Matze. “We had a queue of over 7,000 violations, and we only had three people” to police the entire site




Seems it’s hard to have rules and not crush “free speech”....when people are idiots.

When you think everything you say is facts and not open to discussion you don’t need to speak to me anyway. Half of your points involves some version of “I’m right even if you don’t accept it” be it basketball or over here. If you’re just here to post supposedly irrefutable facts you aren’t open to discuss I don’t know why you bother talking at all. Maybe just make a topic stating your facts every now and then and leave it alone if you accept no other points of view as even worth discussing.

On the topic of free market private companies and social media platforms. The reason why all successful social media is left leaning is because....kids! Any extremely successful social media is going to be driven by the younger generation which will always tend to be more liberal. So there will never be a Pepsi to Twitters Coca Cola. (With Pepsi being the platform of the majority of conservatives. The way it all plays out, there isn’t going to be a real rival for twitter and Facebook, there is going to be more biased censorship towards conservative content on these platforms. And the lasting effect of this is our popular culture being gradually accumulated to these views. By these views I mean extreme sensitivity to the point where it’s borderline censorship. Now these values have started permeating throughout our culture and now are turning into the new norm. Now big companies need to follow in step with these values or fear for their financial ruin. Now we have privatized the act of censorship. This doesn’t make it okay. And it’s disingenuous for people to play a “free market, you don’t like it? deal with it” game.

Censorship has always been privatized. That’s the only way it’s ever been legal in the way you mean. It’s the only way it should. The government shouldn’t be telling anyone what they can say within the usual safety limits of terroristic threats and common sense. You come to my platform be it a stage I own or a forum and rant on a subject I don’t like...you can gtfo. And if I come to your church and start telling my beliefs to people not interested they can tell me to gtfo. And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. I have no freedom of speech on your property. That’s why hate groups generally schedule rallies on public property the government can’t censor them on and not in say....civic centers who would have the right to deny them(if they choose).

Can you find private companies to host a hate group? Sure. But you damn sure can’t force them. You can force the government to allow you to assemble and talk. The constitution demands it. The constitution doesn’t demand you give your platform be it a room in your house, a stage on your theater, your church, or your website over to people you think are nuts.

You can’t be law and order except on the laws you don’t like. Have a problem with it get up 66 percent of Congress and 38 state houses. But you can’t. The process of making changes on that scale was intentionally made near impossible so only near universally accepted things could get enough support.

You would have BLM trolls infiltrating and totally taking out alt right sites in days. ISH would literally be one guy making 200 Lebron topics a day. There would be gore and disgusting shit in every third link on YouTube. You might as well eliminate child protections. If you can’t ban me for being inappropriate on your platform trolls would destroy all internet discussion instead of just some of it.

There are still pro confederate sites where they can peacefully discuss “heritage” because they can ban people who don’t like it. I promise you that shit is trolled into the dust in 45 minutes. And big church forums in some cases. Pro guns sites and forums would be rendered useless by the anti gun people in days.

If you cant ban jerks what’s to stop the left or the right from spamming every opposing group off the internet? Have you any idea how quickly a social media post could get people mobilized to destroy all discussion on a site or forum if people didn’t like you?

Cancel culture would wipe out your fan sites and forums.

You cannot remove the ability to police your online property and keep the internet as a place to talk about anything more interesting than baking. And trolls would eventually destroy that too just for fun. A reddit would be dedicated to “Operation freedom of speech” just to find and render inoperable opposing viewpoints on the internet.

Adding censorship protections online would serve only to legitimize mob censorship the way you think it’s already done but would soon remember today as the golden era.

You would go back to sending emails. Be the only space safe from mobs of cancel culture.

Think about it for a moment and you may realize....

The ability to censor it to your liking and keep the trolls out is what allowed the rise of social media and forums to begin with. Without it trolls and more recently cancel culture would destroy every opposing view and make it impossible for normal people to have a conversation.

Think it’s bad now. Wait till the trolls are unleashed and KNOW you can’t stop them.

It would be the end of all internet discussion.

Censorship is the only way talking to people on the internet works long term. You just take the shit people don’t want on their platform and put it on yours. That’s the only way it works.

Gun nuts get their safe space, the right gets one, and so does the left. The right is just annoyed the free market empowered the left in some ways they don’t like. But with 150 million of them the only reason conservative sites can’t reach that level is them deciding to be part of the lefts existing platforms.

Give one of these right wing sites 90 million users and see how quick Trump gets that to 200 just off opposing trolls wanting to reply to him. Build something.

But they won’t. They keep getting on FB and Twitter empowering them and complaining that they have power over them. If the right lacks the discipline to delete leftist apps and not give sites add revenue they have nobody to blame but themselves for the continued power gap. You don’t need social media. None of us had it till recently.

Stop. Use alternatives till they are viable.

But they won’t. And that’s shows how seriously they really take it.

Get off Facebook and twitter


That is exactly the solution.

Its Like those people who come onto ISH and say athletes make too much money as if they can’t figure how they get it when you buy cable packages with their networks, watch their ads, give them crazy internet presence off easily tracked mentions, and get your kids their jersey and shoes. Wheres the money gonna go if not to them?

Having a presence on sites you consider leftist is giving them the power you wish they didn’t abuse. How do adults not figure that out?

Might be 300-500 million international right wingers with internet access worldwide daily. Right wing twitter could become a force. But it isn’t. And there’s nobody to blame but the right wingers too afraid to be briefly reduced in audience for a while as it builds up.

They are part of the same free market giving facebook this power....but complaining how they use it. They have the 2 and 2 but just don’t seem to understand how it’s also 4....

You guys are discipline and a few months from having right wing social media become a force. All it takes is Trump and maybe 50 million of his backers to go and enough liberals would follow just to argue and troll.

Theres your ad revenue to get it serious. Get the best people on the technical side and make it work.

But here we are.

Fighting over space on an internet that has near infinite room to expand.

You're missing the point.

Do businesses (bakeries and twitter) get to make their own rules or dont they?

A bakery or Twitter cannot ban you for being gay, a woman, a Muslim, an 80 year old, or a Croatian. They can ban you for your political opinion. That's literally just the law.
