    1. A lot of people that cry about freedom of speech do not care about it. They have no principles, they only care about winning.

    2. Sounds like it got cut for a TOS violation concerning two accounts, likely from a lower level employee. The user is back up and active so I don’t see the issue.

      Twitter is a business and can refuse service to anyone as long as its not discriminating against a protected class of people.

      People can cancel their accounts if they dont like the way a business is being operated. The government gives Twitter billions of dollars in subsidies that they can cancel if they dont like the way the business is being operated.

      Twitter is free to do as they please and deal with any consequences. Elon is a billionaire, he will be fine either way. People will be better off with less social media anyway. The US government has the resources to subsidize another social media company or create its own.

      Why Fox News is not covering this is beyond me. Come on Bill and Dana, let it rip.

      Yea, the Olympic opening ceremony censorship is ridiculous. A lot of people misinterpreted it and cried very loud and so they got it censored. Bunch of snowflakes.

    6. I’d argue that some censorship is good. When what’s been censoring is actively harming or radicalising people.

      Look up Popper’s paradox of tolerance.

      All ‘social media’ just needs mechanisms to make it easier for individuals and parents to block and filter for themselves; THEIR OWN CHOICES.

    8. What goes around comes around…. gen z is only getting older and still very young. people don’t forget people who take their voice away.

    9. It was a copycat account that got suspended

      @ Dudes4Harris

      is the actual “White Dudes for Harris” account and it’s still up and running

      The article also explains right at the top that the account that was suspended isn’t any longer and why it was created and likely why it was suspended to begin with. Yall desperate for some karma aren’t you

      Isn’t this where we’re all suppose to screech in unison “it’s a private company”, and “go build your own social media site”, or “the first amendment only applies to the government not limiting your speech”?

      Prior to Elon’s involvement with Twitter (X), the left LOVED that social media site, as it blatantly “censored” conservatives.

      But now…

      Oh wait, the left doesn’t seem remotely concerned about Reddit systematically squashing conservatives views.

      “Update: As of Tuesday morning, the account has been reinstated and the user behind @whitedudesforharris — a separate account — clarified online that he created the other account to prevent bad actors from taking it. The dual accounts are the likely culprit for why @whitedudes4harris was suspended in the first place, but X has still not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.”

      So maybe it wasn’t about censoring. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    12. Lmfao but why wait till now to post this? It’s been one sided censorship for so long but when the other side gets a taste now it’s time to speak out?

    13. It gets thorny. Is banning spam OK? What about flooding?

      What good is a site that only has spam and mass garbage posts? In fact, these and other methods is exactly how “they” make mom and pop sites unmanageable.

      Idk censorship of communist ideas needs to happen to avoid a mob rule tornado down the shitpipe. Too meny stupid people and they really truly do not know any better. We need to come together as a species and just admit that certain things do not, will not, and have not ever worked in the history of ever.

    15. try commenting on Yahoo and tell me how they have any right to discuss censorship
