Twitter has blocked John Lott’s account because of a post about the New Zealand mosque killer, and won’t explain its decision

Twitter blocks conservative accounts. Conservatives shrug their shoulders. Maybe Trump will tweet about the unfairness of it all.

SSDD.

Was this a recent tweet, or are they going back through their history to find ex-post-facto justification for blocking conservatives, now that we're on to their schemes going forward?

New Zealand killer’s manifesto says that he did attack to get more gun control/gun bans in New Zealand and the US, Killer was a socialist, environmentalist who hated capitalists and trade

Totally unreasonable.

No better day than the 4th of July to declare Twitter an enemy to Freedom.

[Political Junkie Too]

So I was right in #3 that they are mining their history now. This must mean that they fear conservatives will be more on guard when posting in the future, and so Twitter needs to find ex post facto justifications now to silence people.

Don’t let the left wing’s hatred of America change our history:

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” George Orwell, 1984

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished?”

1984 by George Orwell
Home Literature 1984 Characters Winston Smith

“Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it’s in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped.

Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories.

Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event – years after it.” (2.5.14, Winston to Julia)

If that is the Tweet that got him banned, free speech is in serious jeopardy. His Tweet contained no threats, no obscenities, and did not attack any individual or group. It was a claim about what was in the NZ killer's manifesto, and did not defend him or his actions.

I haven't read the manifesto, so I can't swear to the accuracy of Lott's Tweet, but it seems consistent with what I have read elsewhere. But even if inaccurate, does that justify having your account closed? Is every inaccurate Tweet dealt with in the same manner? If so, Twitter would be shutting down thousands of accounts every day.

FB mined my past posts. A post I made several months ago triggered them and I got a thirty day suspension. The post was a picture of Geobbels with a statement in parentheses, “Tell a lie enough times and the masses will believe it”. It was on a left wing post that disparaged Trump.

Twit and Assbook and Googoole (and.. as good as its service really is...Amazoon).....DESPERATELY REQUIRE ANTI-TRUST ATTENTION....ASAP!

[teevolt]

Read a piece from Michelle Malkin, she referred to them as the triumvirate. I do still twitter (Trump), but no google or facebook.

[humblegunner]

Why do you write about yourself in the third person?

Are you some kind of godling or something?

You seem a bit too impressed with yourself. Get bent.

[faithhopecharity]

i’m surprised that after 2 or 3 years, PDJT’s DOJ hasn’t got serious anti-trust action(s) going (Assbook, Twit, Googoo)

its SO obviously needed

(I was trying to point this out even BEFORE they started seriously trying to manipulate public opinion with secret censorship)
