April 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Social media giant Twitter has quietly severed ties with the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) amid mounting reports of scandal within the organization and insider claims that SPLC’s “hate” monitoring is a money-making scam.
Twitter previously identified SPLC as a “safety partner” that helps weed out “hateful conduct and harassment” on the platform, but the Daily Caller reports that their partnership may no longer be the case. “The SPLC is not a member of Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council or a partner the company has worked with recently,” an anonymous source inside Twitter said. The SPLC no longer appears on the company’s Safety Partners list.
SPLC has long been controversial for its history of labeling mainstream Christian and/or conservative organizations – including Alliance Defending Freedom, Family Research Council, the Ruth Institute, the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and Jihad Watch – “hate groups” to be blacklisted from various online platforms and services. The organization has managed to pressure companies like Mastercard and GoFundMe to (at least temporarily, in some cases) deny services to conservative figures and groups.
Over the past year it’s suffered a series of blows, such as being forced to make a public apology and pay $3.4 million in defamation damages to Maajid Nawaz’s Quilliam Foundation, the ouster of co-founder Morris Dees for “inappropriate conduct,” and testimony from insiders that the organization is a “highly profitable scam” and that Dees saw “civil-rights work mainly as a marketing tool for bilking gullible Northern liberals.”

They surely have others equally bad or worse.
If Twitter even for one second thought the SPLC was anything but far left radicals, then they’re being run by liberal morons who don’t know anything but coding. In other words, NPC’s.
Okay, how about FR picking up the slack? Okay, dreaming.
” then they’re being run by liberal morons who don’t know anything but coding. In other words, NPC’s.” When was that ever in doubt? Jack Dorsey is a rabid leftist.
It was always a money making scam since Morris Dees dreamed it up.
The Ministry of Propaganda found it useful.
this isn’t just good news, this is huge news!
The ADL is just as bad, and I expect there be an attempt to create a new institution to fill the vacuum.
SPLC is the worst... bunch of haters.
Seems like Twitter was conspiring with SPLC in their hate activities. They should be held responsible for any damages created.
Now if we can only get those pics of Dorsey humping animals we can turn this thing around.
Yes. Now the federal government needs to sever ties to SPLC as a resource, if they have not done so already.
Silently? Hrumph.
No mea culpa.
No apology.
Stalinism is alive. “Forward!”
I wonder if the FBI will stop working with them now.

It would be revealing to know the extent to which the operations of the SPLC have been coordinated with the objectives of the Democrat Party since its founding.
