Overnight Twitter exploded with rage, sending #TwitterLockOut to the top of the trending list. People like Ben Garrison, the famous cartoon artist, are reporting they have lost thousands of followers in an instant and more are dropping out by the minute. It appears that only conservative accounts are included in the follower purge.

Gab TV broadcast the reports they are getting by the thousands of people locked out. Twitter seems to be labeling Trump supporters "Russian bots" and banning them until they provide confidential information most people don't want Twitter to have.
BREAKING: Twitter falsely labels thousands of users as bots, locks them out of their account?? https://t.co/nIzzClqMBU — Gab: Free Speech Social Network (@getongab) February 21, 2018
This is not unexpected. We have been reporting on Twitter tomfoolery for quite a while now and have been waiting for the main purge to begin. This looks like the big one. In order to get back into their accounts, Twitter is requiring a phone number to be attached to the account. Gab TV thinks it could be a data grab. At the same time, Twitter is having a scandal at Periscope involving minors being groomed by pedophiles and talked into doing sexual acts online for adults. Critics say Twitter hasn't done much to stop it. The Daily Mail reported on it back in December:
In a video shown to The Sunday Express, a girl aged around seven or eight is seen sitting in her living room, with her mother just metres away, while paedophiles post sexual requests. Speaking to the paper, Shaun Stockdale, 34, from Hull, said he noticed a large number of users clicking onto the video and was disturbed by the comments being posted underneath. 'It became clear pretty soon that these were not children her own age, they were grown men – paedophiles – exploiting her for their own gratification.
Periscope and Twitter are aware of these issues but it was still going on as of last week when I reported two videos that were brought to my attention showing minor girls being harassed and groomed by sickos. The same thing happened to #MeToo during a live stream and I was unable to block the harasser.
A baker has to bake a gay cake, but Twitter can
refuse service to someone for being conservative.
That is allowing one public enterprise to discriminate
while refusing to let another public enterprise do the same.
We’re prisoners shouting out through the bars
of our cells, “I’m free! I’m free!”
Same with this YouTube site. He had given a 6.8 earthquake warning to CA for this week. (His prediction.)
2/21/2018 — ALERT : Dutchsinse channel CENSORED + DEMONITIZED fully — NO WARNING GIVEN
How can YouTube legally censor sites that have signed a yearly contract?
Slightly off topic but perhaps related: Where is Lou Dobbs?
Those sources need to move to another platform ASAP.
Everyone who berates the Robinsons for not migrating to a cloud based system such as Amazon’s must see this as the answer. If you don’t own and run your own servers, you can count on the encroaching censorship by left or right owners of internet systems to take you down.
Now I get it, Jim and John.
This is just another example of why we need a strong and vibrant Free Republic...

Someone already did. It's called "Gab."
Just checked. I lost 47 in the last few days.

Don’t like their politics?
DON’T USE THEM......................
The Jews didn't like the German Nazi's politics, but not supporting them wasn't an effective solution.
We cannot ignore propaganda agents against us. They will encourage people to attack and destroy us if we let them get away with it.
We need to make them serve everyone who sits at their lunch counter.
All conservatives except Trump should get off Twitter.
And this is it in a nutshell. I used to think people could operate their own property in whatever manner they see fit, but now that I have seen the monopoly of control on freedom of speech, I now realize that the right to freedom of speech much be protected even when someone else owns the equipment through which the speech is being communicated.
A system in which one side can speak to the public, and the other side is frozen out, contradicts the very purpose of enfranchising freedom of speech as a necessary protection for the Republic.
You think they don't already have that information?
Maybe that's who Soros' sonderkommandos are going after first?
Since you don’t know who Q is, how do you know Q isn’t disinfo?
How do you know real Q from fake Q?
Paragraphs and line breaks are your friend.... POST 20
Ive liked a bunch of tweets from Dan Bongino, Sheriff Clarke and of course everyday I like tweets from President Trump..my profile also shows that I am Pro Life and a supporter of the NRA
Everyone just get off Twitter NOW.
Thanks for repeating this:!

You haven't thought this through. Those methods of communication are going to get used to reach the public. They will affect elections, and the public will make bad decisions because they won't be able to hear the opposition side of the discussion.
For our system of governance to work, we cannot allow monopolies to exist in the communications systems. Already the left owns and controls virtually all means of communications. Communications is necessary to the function of this Republic, and controlled communications is a threat to it.
It doesn't matter who owns the communications infrastructure. Our system of government cannot survive one party control of communications.
