Twitter has blocked Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn's (Tenn.) Senate campaign announcement ad, ruling that a pro-life statement was "inflammatory."
At one point in the video, Blackburn, who announced last week that she is running for the Senate in Tennessee, heralded how she "stopped the sale of baby body parts," a reference to her investigation into Planned Parenthood's reported practice of "donating" body parts in return for monetary compensation.
But a Twitter representative told the Blackburn campaign that Twitter blocked the ad from being promoted, calling it "an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction," the Associated Press reported Monday. Twitter said that Blackburn would have to repost the video without the flagged statement in order to advertise.

Blackburn for Senate 2018! Woo hoo!
Don’t do any of it but looks to me like theses social media sites are controlled by liberals.
Are any of them neutral on all this crap and stay out of the fray ?
Well, *I* have it on good authority that Twitter only blocks Nazis and white supremacists, so she’s *obviously* a Nazi or something.

“...Twitter blocked the ad from being promoted, calling it “an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction...” They failed to add “from liberals, progressives, feminists, etc.”
You had to know that, given Trump’s successful use of Twitter during the campaign, Twitter was going to rein in their use by conservatives in the future...
It gets more and more blatant! Social media arbitrating political speech. The irony is that this will just attract more attention to Blackburn’s message.
Constant bashing of the POTUS does not “evoke strong inflammatory negative reactions”? What the ...! The Twits are FOS.
How many times is this going to get posted?
Imho, Twitter is pro infanticide.

Why do I have the feeling President Trump will tweet this fact out? Say ‘Blackburn for Senate 2018 was blocked by Twitter because they don’t want you to know PP was selling baby parts’. See if twitter blocks the POTUS.
“Are any of them neutral on all this crap and stay out of the fray ?”
No, especially the ones that insist they are neutral and stay out of the fray.
They simply judge that those who disagree with the libtard POV are being inflammatory and censor them.
Twitter/Youtube/Google
The new censors. But we give them the power by giving them the monopoly they control.
Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil. Shame on twitter.
Progressivism is now willing to expose its dark under side, as it boldly censors and excludes all but its own oppressive and controlling ideology!
Progressives, from their 1800's beginnings among academics calling themselves "liberals," were anything but "liberal" in their views--the cultish ideology which has resulted is unyielding in its rejection of all ideas which do not conform to the uniformity demanded by their self-chosen elitists.
The post wasn’t totally blocked. It was still posted. She was just blocked from spending money to promote the tweet. You see. Pro life is is very bad. Pro killing is good.
