Twitter blocks prolife ads until they delete tweets calling for defunding Planned Parenthood

How rude.

" Double standard: @PPact is allowed to advertise on @Twitter, but our ads have been blocked until we delete tweets. https://t.co/QlPSItKYFx "

Via Live Action News:

"While Planned Parenthood is allowed to advertise on Twitter, the social media company has suppressed Live Action’s ads, calling our pro-life messages offensive and inflammatory. What exactly is Twitter calling so offensive and inflammatory? Tweeting a picture of a child developing in the womb and saying that we believe in the right to life. Or tweeting ultrasound images, like the ones that most expectant moms hang on their refrigerator doors.

"Planned Parenthood is allowed to tweet that a woman has a right to an abortion, but when Live Action tweets that a baby has a right to life, Twitter considers that “inflammatory” and “offensive.”"

Granted, Twitter is a privately-owned company and can set whatever rules it wants around the type of ads it will allow on its site. No one is arguing that point, it’s just a pathetic and obnoxious bias that they’re not even trying to hide anymore.

Twitter is valued at $13.09 billion.

If you were somehow able to purchase $6.5-7 billion in Twitter stock you can take control of of the Twitter and have an unencumbered platform to advertise.

Twitter and Facebook should be declared public accommodations and be forbidden to censor content.

Twitter: “Murdering children GOOD, saving children BAD”.

(”Gooo-OOd” in Leftist Andy Griffith’s voice)

It is because of the magnificent number of people you can impress. I know, I am able to post pretty much anything I feel appropriate to post, regarding the unparalleled evil of the killing innocent defenseless little boys and girls by their mothers.

I have been censored, temporarily shadow banned, etc...I have to re-verify my account at minimum once a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. I do it. I reach people...impressionable people - worldwide, mostly.

I don’t the followers Live Action has of course, but, there’s tens of thousands of people similar to myself. It’s hope and it’s verifiable.

Sounds like the basis for a religious discrimination case... A big one I hope.

Twitter and Facebook have achieved the status of public utilities and should be prevented from excluding users based upon political views, just as T-Mobile and Verizon are not allowed to prevent conservatives from communicating on their services.

Hope they do.

Twitter (TWTR) is a publicly owned company ,, it is not a sole proprietorship.

[unixfox]

I want it totally out of business......................

God's rath will make sure of that. One way or another.

[a fool in paradise]

Twitter aids and abets terrorism, though.

[Architect of Avalon]

Good points.

[ConservativeMind]

I want every such killer in jail or on death row.

[manc]

I do not use twitter, but is does show how the left have infiltrated big business and now use it to close down free speech.

Good for you to stand up to them.

How very Hugo Chavez of us.

So, you're celebrating the EU's regulatory action, hmm?

Twitter is just making its principals known: It’s okay to depict murderers. It’s not okay to depict the murdered.

[JME_FAN]

I’ts called “Twitter” for good reason - the place is owned and operated by progressive socialist “twits!” ...

And Twitter’s chief executive twit - Jack Dorsey - has so abused his cache of censoring algorithms and ANTIFA attack bots as to turn the supposed “free speech” platform into an absurd joke.

With libturds, “free speech” is a one way street - that inevitably runs into a dead end.

The power of militant man-hating feminazis. They have gained control over all the major media, because of their unbridled irrational wrath.
