Twitter Suspends Pro-Life Blogger for For Bogus ‘Hateful Conduct,” Allows Tweets Calling Her a “C—“
LIFE NEWS ^ | July 30, 2018 | Steven Ertelt

Social media giant Twitter continues to come under criticism from pro-life advocates and conservatives over its censorship. In the latest case, Twitter suspended the account of a conservative blogger known for her pro-life opinions despite not producing any evidence to substantiate its claims she abrogated twitter policies.

Kathleen McKinley is a Texas-based conservative blogger who is outspoken about her pro-life views and her viewpoints on other hot political issues. Although she is very civil and respectful in her conversations with others, Twitter on Friday suspended her account. However, the social media company provided no indication as to why her account was suspended and produced nothing to back the decision in terms of evidence of her violating Twitter rules or regulations.

McKinley, who has frequently posted content from LifeNews on her Twitter account, produced an image showing Twitter has suspended her account:

According to Newsbusters, two tweets she posted with her views on controversial political issues led to her suspension:

On Friday, July 27, conservative commentator Kathleen McKinley discovered her Twitter account had been suspended. She was told she had “violated our rules against ‘hateful conduct.’” The two tweets that had been reported as “hateful” were tweets about transgenderism being a mental disorder, and a tweet that had been taken out of context that spoke of Muslim “honor killings.”

She was not originally notified of the suspension, nor was she able to appeal to Twitter to get the suspension lifted. In an interview with the Media Research Center, McKinley said, “I’ve always been very civil. In my blogs, I wouldn’t allow anyone in the comments to curse or disrespect anyone. The idea that I would say anything hateful is ridiculous.”

Although nothing in McKinley’s tweets appeared to have broken Twitter rules for harassment, hate directed at her by political opponents clearly has:

Yet, even though Twitter was quick to punish her for stating her views, they seem to have ignored all the threatening, harassing tweets McKinley has received from hostile Twitter users. One of the tweets told her “go f— herself” while another tweet called her a “racist c—.” Neither of these tweets have been removed or taken down.

This ban happened as Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey claims Twitter is focusing on producing “healthy conversation.” How can that be when civil pro-life conservatives are banned and left-win abortion activists haters are allowed to harass people without accountability.

Twitter like FB will soon be in the dustbin of history.

Transgenderism is a mental disorder. So is BiPolar Disorder, Schizophrenia,Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, hypochondriac disorder and on and on. None if these accuses the person experiencing the disorder of being evil or hateful, or being in need of incarceration. They should be approached with understanding but society at large is in no way obligated to reinforce or enable the behavior of the person.

Why does twitter suppress right wing comments? Probably for business reasons. I’ve been commenting on the internet for decades, and I’ve noticed that left wingers cannot tolerate contrary views. Literally CANNOT tolerate. They will try hard to suppress right wingers, but when faced with people making reasoned arguments that they cannot counter, and cannot suppress, they leave the forum.

Thus, forum managers who want to maintain an audience containing left wingers, have to suppress the right.

If twitter and Facebook allowed Trumpers to post freely, it would spark an exodus.

Can she sue Twitter for violation of their own stated policies?

It would be nice to see some of these “social media” giants suffer for their censorship.

Saying transgenderism being a mental disorder is hardly hateful.

Why don’t conservatives have their own version of Twitter? And Facebook?

Why any conservative would bother to subject themselves to the crap with twitter is beyond me when GAB.AI is fully available to all conservatives.

What is Twitter’s attraction? Are we Americans so insecure, so lonely that we need this crutch?

Wow. Tyranny. Sorry you got hammered by the Tyrants at Twitter.

Problem: double standards at Twitter.
Solution: use another social media site like Gab or Plurk.

“If twitter and Facebook allowed Trumpers to post freely, it would spark an exodus.”

Which would be followed by an influx of users and advertisers.

NPR and The Atlantic shut down their comments sections to solve that problem. Other excuses were given but were hard to credit. Conservatives in both forums were overwhelmingly respectful and reasoned, and they more than held their own. There were intelligent liberals who did the same. The moronic hatespeech, however, was overwhelmingly on the left, and I think it embarrassed the editors. Badly done leftist articles, of which there were many, were also regularly destroyed. The leftist response: shut down the discussion. Leftists want an ideological monoculture and an echo chamber media.

Seems to me we have fertile ground for a new contender to TWITTER. Start up something new & bury them.
