Please don't think this only affects conservatives. My data shows that Twitter heavily censors all types of users including about an equal number of liberals and conservatives. On some threads to newsmakers, around 30% to 50% or more of the tweets are censored.

See this thread for how to force Twitter to change what they're doing:

If enough people help with that - such as by urging the media to cover just how bad Twitter censorship is - we could have a real impact on their censorship.

Supporting President Trump is behaving badly.

“Behaving badly” being the operative term.
I think we all know what that Dog Whistle really means.
There may be some token appearance of applied discipline of libs when they get too rowdy, but that will be the exception to the rule.

Death warrant signed by Twitter itself. If you have stock, sell it quick.
For months it has blocked Drudge and many others that I follow. I hardly ever visit Twitter now.

"On Tuesday, Twitter announced a massive change to the way its conversations will work, evaluating not just the content of individual tweets, but the way users behave more broadly on the service. Twitter will now use thousands of behavioral signals when filtering search, replies, and algorithmic recommendations. "

Step by step Twitter will end up killing itself.

The funny thing, IMHO Trump and his tweets are almost single-handedly keeping this service alive.

Once Trump moves on to another service like Gab, Twitter will go the way of MySpace

Have no doubt the left will be pulling out all the stops, in 2016 they never expected Hillary to lose and their their shock, she did. Trump’s mastery of the media using Twitter most of all was one of his biggest weapons.

Twitter is trying to stifle Trump supporters. I am on my 3rd Twitter account, screw them. I work for my ISP, I can force my dynamic IP to change at will, and I have a VPN as well.

Two days ago I was having a field day on the US Embassy opening in Jerusalem, I was mining salty tears like crazy. If fact so much so I am surprised my latest account wasn’t banned.

The funniest thing about Social Media, the companies that own them are as far left as you can get. But try as they might they can not control the “social” aspect of Social Media, the more they to stifle us, the more they force people to defy(like me!) or just leave and use another service like Gab.

So have at it Twitter.....it’s your own grave your digging!

President Trump could destroy Twitter overnight and bring a HUGE windfall to another platform if he would announce that he is moving his official account to Gab.ai.

Millions would follow the President. Twitter would drop like a rock.

Please note: I explained everything on this thread that I posted days before Twitter's big announcement. Please see that if anyone has any questions. I want to force Twitter to change how they do things. If anyone wants to do that too, just help promote what's described at that post.

I was in Twitter jail for three months beginning in December. They let me out for one day on a Saturday in March, then put me back in. I’m done.

Tom: “Yes, I voted for Trump.”

Linda: “I couldn’t vote for Obama.”

Zelda, I’m sending you a link to two other persons to place on the lowest visibility setting.

I predict this is how it will play out:

Lib tweets lib platitude that is patently false.

Conservatives take lib to task.

Conservatives' visibility lowered for being combative.

Interesting to say “if you’re closely associated with others violating terms of service”.
You aren’t spewing hate but others like you are, so we can ban you based on collective guilt.

You had to know from the git-go that social media was never going to be anything but a leftist cesspool because conservatives believe in honesty (to a point), fair play and free will. Whereas the neo-comms only believe in one thing: attaining power by any means necessary.
