Curious. In Twitter’s own words, they are willfully denying Donald Trump “an essential human right in modern society.” https://t.co/nKeH1Ym4Qy— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 5, 2021

We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria. Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society.

We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world. #KeepitOn— Twitter Public Policy (@Policy) June 5, 2021

I’m glad they are restoring twitter access to Nigeria. I am waiting for instructions to receive over 10 million USD from Nigeria.

sarcasm.

"That is one evil futher mucker. Bat$hit crazy, too."

Jack Dorsey is unconsciously signaling his inner demons with his attempt to look as much like a homeless, crackhead Charles Manson as he can.

There are no rights, only privileges.

I always find it curious that these filthy rich freaks - Gates, Zuckerberg, this guy - can’t find a decent barber.

Probably too paranoid to allow someone with sharp instruments (scissors, razors) near them.

Why is Trump not suing them based on the law recently passed in Florida?

Seems the right is starting to sound like the left, if this wasn't said in jest. If Cruz was serious about this... then I have some concerns for him.

Seems you totally missed the point. It was in response to their own message on it being a human right to show their double standard. The right needs to fight back like this.

Perhaps their success in business has made them think they are great in all things and, under that delusion, they will not let anyone else cut their hair but themselves.

Big Tech is prohibited from de-platforming Floridian political candidates. The Florida Election Commission will impose fines of $250,000 per day on any social media company that de-platforms any candidate for statewide office, and $25,000 per day for de-platforming candidates for non-statewide offices. Any Floridian can block any candidate they don’t want to hear from, and that is a right that belongs to each citizen — it’s not for Big Tech companies to decide.

Waiting to declare as a candidate first? FL is also being sued on this

That,and $7.50, will buy you an overpriced cup of coffee. Twitter does NOT care one whit about Donald Trump's rights. I do, but I can't do anything about it. So, I am focusing on local defense against tyranny.

Ted Cruz was just another run-of-the-mill Bushbot Douchebag inside-the-belt congressional assistant, whose wife is on the board at Goldman-Sachs.

He found his schtick when the Tea Party began, and he's using that and Evangelical angle to work his way into the Senate and wants to run for President in 2024.

Reasons I don't like nor trust Ted:

1) When Ted Cruz blamed Trump for violence at his 2016 rallies.

2) Cruz blamed Trump for the rhetoric before the Capitol protest and Toga Party on January 6.

3)Takes his daughters to Cancun during the Texas Ice Storm. Personally, I don't care. However, if he's wanting to become leader of the Free World, he should be smarter than thinking he can get away with stuff Democrats get away with every day.

Ted Cruz has always come off as a very intelligent man, but a shameless opportunist.

Big tech and democrats do NOT consider us human. They have spent decades dehumanizing we lowly deploreables. Make no mistake they want us dead. It’s hard to kill a fellow human, but the untermensch are easy to kill.
