Links to the pro-Phil Robertson online petition drive have been flagged for content on the social media platform.

In the latest development in the ongoing culture war surrounding Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson’s controversial remarks on homosexuality, the pro-Robertson website iStandwithPhil.com has been flagged on Twitter, prohibiting users from posting messages containing links to the page.

*****

Twitter generally does not act to block content until receiving a report from another user or group of users. That complaint is then reviewed by Twitter, who decides whether to take action or not.

They control the government, the schools, the corporate boardrooms, and the media. They can do what they want. So there!

Sounds like the militant, tolerant fags are at it again.

[Tzimisce]

No!

The libs at Twitter are censoring content?

I don’t believe it....

Google, Twitter and other members in good standing of the Ruling Elite will do anything in their to suppress the communication of ideas and thoughts of which they do not approve.

...did Twitter ever take down the bounty on George Zimmerman?

[Pikachu_Dad]

Perhaps not.

Most sites have a reporting mechanism. Enough reports and you are automatically blacklisted until review.

So it may just be a concerted trolling effort by the intolerant libs.

Give Twitter a chance to have an person look at it and override (or not) the reports.

I posted this question earlier today:

What’s the over/under for the number of K-12 students that will be disciplined/reprimanded for wearing DD clothing when they return to school ?

[Timber Rattler]

Yeah, it’s called “report bombing,” and is a favorite tactic of internet trolls to shut down targeted posters in social media, by taking advantage of the automated blocking software used by sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Costolo appears to be another high tech Baraqqi partisan

A guy quoting the Bible is more offensive than leftists saying all white people just need to die, or that all conservatives should be shot

[American Constitutionalist]

This is a golden opportunity to finally shun Twitter and Facebook and for conservatives or traditional values people to build their own social web sites like Twitter or Facebook.
I hope Glenn Beck's network would pick up Duck Dynasty and A&E would lose a lot of subscribers.

"By taking quick action and removing Robertson from future filming, A&E has sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value," GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said.

Yeah. Like I go to A&E and GLAAD to teach me Christian doctrine.

Do these people realize what a self-parody they are?

[cripplecreek]

Agreed. Its not blocked now.

Thanks for the link. I signed it.

I’m SO GLAD I have never — and will never — ‘tweeted’.

Now I don’t have to boycott them. :)

Thanks madprof98.

Reddit’s science forum banned climate deniers. Why don’t all newspapers do the same?
