Twitter has banned the popular parody account @AOCPress despite it complying entirely with the service’s rules on satire by self-labelling as such.
This account – a satire of Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – had over 85,000 followers at the time of the ban and is now permanently suspended.
In an email sent to the account owner, Twitter claimed the reasoning: “you may not register or create fake and misleading accounts.”
The tech giant then followed that statement by saying “you may use Twitter pseudonymously or as a parody.”

Trump needs to move on this in the next couple of years or it’s going to be Game Over for conservatism.
I used to think that it was their service, they can do what they want.
But if a baker can be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, then these services must be forced into providing equal service to all.
All these monopolies should be treated like a common carrier, for example, the telephone and cellular companies. They have to serve everyone regardless of political view, etc.
We used to have laws that made this type of conduct a Felony and came with Severe Jail Time and Financial penalties including Complete dissolution of your company, they were called ANTI TRUST, not sure when they were repealed?
“All these monopolies should be treated like a common carrier, for example, the telephone and cellular companies. They have to serve everyone regardless of political view, etc.”
If they would allow everyone access, regardless, then they could be like the state bar, CPAs or doctors in many states and self-regulate. But they control 90% of the access in their respective niches (Google, FB and Twitter), and are actively denying access for the obvious and overt reason of politics (and I’d say the same if they were censoring liberals and Leftists). That CANNOT be allowed to stand!
Break them up!
Google delenda est!
Facebook delenda est!
Twitter delenda est!
As soon as they start regulating the content, they should be held liable for the content itself. That would lead to litigation hell VERY quickly.

Repealed? No, no! Like ‘immigration’, they are merely ignored...to be used to grow govt. They then can use that ‘extra’ time/$$ to go after We the People for that which they have ZERO authority/purview (EG: ‘gun-control’, h’care)
