Twitter has been acting up over the last few months, with President Trump's account being disabled for 11 minutes last month, and even the international account of The New York Times experiencing troubles in the last 24 hours.
But there are big changes cooking with the social networking giant that are taking place on December 18, with Twitter announcing a couple of weeks ago that it will be monitoring its users' behavior... wait for it... "on and off the platform". Twitter will suspend an account if they are affiliated with violent organizations, even if they aren't causing any trouble on Twitter. George Orwell would be proud at Twitter's move, that's for sure.

“I don’t understand their ability to access and monitor in order to collect data regarding activity that does not occur on their platform.”
Many twit users list their associations with various groups which twitter can arbitrarily designate as “hate” and the reason to make one ‘persona non grata’.
The big corporate think-tank interests are ALL keeping tabs on private citizens and building database records as to their preferences, travel habits, associates, history, and more EVEN IF YOU DON’T USE THEIR SERVICES.
Private policing making records (for political purposes because we know that is what drives this) taking things farther than State enforcers ever could (think J Edgar Hoover’s files).
Dems said that Obama and the Democrats were building a database about every voter.
Non-governmental organization. Globalist Marxist....
Related: I created a twitter account about a month ago and posted to and about Conservative threads. I was susupended6 times over the first three weeks and was constantly appealing their decisions and the re-instated each time. I would always get the same excuse: “We have an automated program that sometimes results in a technical glitch. We apologize for this inconvenience.”
It is very difficult to get a live person at Twitter but I was finally able to get someone to look at what was happening and I have not been suspended for over a week now.
It has the latest in news.
Yes. They are a private company. You agree to TOS when you sign up
And no you apparently don’t understand the constitution if you try and say they are violating search and seizure prohibitions
No, it says nothing about off line. It says “off platform”, meaning, twitter will track it’s users general surfing habits on sites other than twitter.com.
Off course that’s what I meant. Will track “USERS” while not on Twitter. Which is already done. I used my laptop today to google real estate in certain area. Twenty minutes later I opened up facebook on my cell phone and there was an advertisement for real estate in the state I had googled on my laptop. This is already here. This isn’t news.
