Truth Revolt: "A Twitter representative “told [Congresswoman Blackburn’s] vendors on Monday that the (abortion) statement was ‘deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.’”
There’s nothing more typically leftist today than the shutdown of speech the left disapproves of, with the excuse that it will "evoke a strong negative reaction.”
Although Blackburn may still tweet the campaign video, Twitter has agreed to let her run it as an ad only if the line regarding abortion is cut. She has defiantly implored her followers to retweet the ad, uncut.
This isn’t the first time Twitter has silenced speech in opposition to a pro-choice worldview. In June, the social networking site banned advertisements from pro-life group Live Action that it considered “offensive.” Meanwhile, Twitter promotes Planned Parenthood ads.".......
Since the "sale of baby body parts" is too inflammatory for Twitter, perhaps Twitter should publish a list of the polite euphemisms it prefers for discussing this high-tech cannibalism driven by bloodlust and blood money.
Twitter throughout History:
"Dear Mr. Jefferson,
We decline to publish your "Declaration of Independence", as it contains many inflammatory statements likely to evoke a strong negative reaction, such as this slander of our good King:
"He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."And perhaps you could change it to a "Declaration of Mild Annoyance".
Sincerely,
Twitter's Ministry of Advertising and Royal Truthiness".......
Are those the body parts of babies being sold...or just spare parts that might as well be salvaged for profit? There is no non-controversial way to discuss the issue, and since Planned Parenthood doesn't want it mentioned at all, Twitter is choosing on behalf of Planned Parenthood to silence those who do wish to discuss it.
Dear Twitter;
Your use of the phrase "an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction" is an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction from me.
See what I did there?
Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Google--they are all in the business of Censoring Conservatives and Suppressing Conservative Ideas now.
Kurt Schlichter gets it right: "They violated the most important of the old rules – they chose a side. In the past, when a company or even an industry crossed the line, it rarely made much difference. So some insurance company was outspokenly progressive? So what? The one exception was the mainstream media/Hollywood complex – its actions were extremely annoying (and destructive), but it had the First Amendment to protect it and we conservatives had alternate channels to get our ideas across.
Not so with the Googles, the Facebooks, and the Twitters. Their antics are not necessarily protected by the First Amendment, their internet monopolies choke out alternative channels, and, unlike the line-crossers of the past, they possess enormous amounts of personal information that can be used to manipulate, intimidate, and punish political opponents – you know, us. Worse, their leaders are evangelists of cultural Marxism, so these companies don’t even have the fig leaf of objectivity that the mainstream media has (or had) to constrain them.
Yet they still expect the same laissez-faire treatment as any other business even as they try to gut us politically. They discriminate against conservatives, they actively assist leftist partisans like Felonia von Pantsuit, and they aggressively silence conservative voices within their apps. They imagine that they can adopt new rules for themselves while keeping in place the old rules that prevent us from defending ourselves because of “free enterprise” or something.
Nah.
...Conservatives now need to savagely regulate companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. We need to use our political power in Congress and red state legislatures to incentivize Silicon Valley to return to a system where its companies embrace political and cultural neutrality, or suffer crippling consequences.
Not exactly old school conservatism, right? Well, it’s not exactly old school America. Too bad. We liked the old system, but you tech twerps decided to change it. So be it. Too bad that, for some reason, you thought we wouldn’t change too.
Like I always say, you're going to hate the new rules.".......
I certainly hope so. It's bad enough that our schools and universities, funded by all, have become militant One-Party States. We wouldn't tolerate our power company denying us service because of our beliefs, and we cannot tolerate censorship from these Information Age utilities either.

| Inflammatory! Do-Overz!-UPDATE: Hot Air: "A day after boosting Blackburn’s credibility while destroying their own, Twitter execs belatedly thought twice about becoming political editors for candidates on their platform: “The American people have just risen up, and I said this is our first senate conservative victory,” the Republican lawmaker told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday morning. “Because we stood firm and Twitter reconsidered, and they are going to allow us to put my campaign announcement back up to push it out on their platform, which is exactly what we’re going to do.” Their retreat in the face of harsh criticism of those practices might suggest that Twitter realizes it has gone too far … or may just be cover to continue those practices on people with lower profiles than members of Congress. Don’t bet on the former." |
