Twitter ‘Mistakenly’ Suspends Young Conservatives of Texas for Two Days
Breitbart ^ | August 24 2020 | TOM CICCOTTA

Twitter reinstated the account for the Young Conservatives of Texas organization following a two-day suspension. Twitter claims that the account was suspended by a “spam filter” that is built into the platform.

According to a report by Campus Reform, the Young Conservatives of Texas had their Twitter account suspended for two days without explanation. The account was quickly reinstated after a reporter reached out to Twitter to inquire about the suspension.

The organization claims that its Twitter account was shut down on Wednesday. In an email about the ban, Twitter told the organization that “unusual activity” on the account led to the ban.

It was done on purpose. twitter and the other big brother social media monitor everything that a normal person posts and deliberately allows everything that terrorist groups posts.

“Destroy ANYTHING with the word conservative on it!”
Verify later, if ever.

This default mode is not a bug, it’s a feature as far as Twitter is concerned.

We need a side by side list of suspended liberal and conservative entities.

Assuming any liberal entities have been suspended.

Come on guys...just because conservatives are the only ones “accidentally” suspended“ from Twitter in the 155,796 accidental Suspensions, doesn’t mean we are intentionally being silenced.

Have a little faith in our loyal opposition Progressive Democrats!

I’m reasonably sure that any organization that has “conservative” in its name would trigger Twitter’s “spam filter.”

Twitter should be firing or deporting back to India the people responsible for programming the Twitter spam filter. The spam filter has cause innumerable suspensions of twitter users needlessly because of the incompetence of the programmers. How on earth can Jack Dorsey sleep at night knowing that his supervisory incompetence continues day after day?

Wonder what would happen if the US government or any other government ‘mistakenly’ cuts off access to twitter for two days. Mistakenly of course.

Fauci’s daughter works at Twitter and specializes in deleting conservative accounts; the Twit.

Maybe you are on to the solution. All conservative websites should create a second website but with all democrat names and keywords. Then mirror all of the content in random order. They are could even have a company banner that is about dems that are sick of biden and the hoe.

It isn’t a mistake. Half of mistakes will go against the interests of those making mistakes. It is like mistakes on the FISA warrants, ALL of which favored Democrats.

Lack of accountability for the leftist trash who run Twitter.
