Twitter banned the account of a pro-Trump grassroots campaign with 15 state field directors along with another prominent Trump supporter, failing to reinstate the accounts on the same day that the company came under fire from the president himself for discrimination against conservatives. Eight days ago, Twitter banned the account of a pro-Trump grassroots organization called New Right US (@newrightus.) Co-founded by political activist Mike Tokes, the account represented an organization that mobilizes Trump supporters around the country.
We have over 15 state directors and a team of social media influencers throughout the country said Tokes. It wasnt just some website with no action. We were really expanding.
Because Twitter refuses to be transparent about the reasons it suspends accounts, it did not inform the owners of @newrightus, or Breitbart News, why the account had been suspended. Tokes says the account, which accumulated approximately 10,000 followers prior to its suspension, had not engaged in any rule-violating behavior.
Tokes says Twitter initially restricted the account for seven days, but that now it shows no option to reactivate, meaning its permanent.

Hey, at least it ain’t Mike Hunt.
And no, don’t say it fast.
If Twitter went tits up, there would be an alternative, hopefully a better one.
Dont be concerned about Trump. He can definitely take care of himself.
“The only solution is a free market solution. Imagine there is a conservative or neutral option. Trump moves there and takes millions of users with him.”
That’s a workable market solution.
Whining about Facebook and Twitter’s editorial policies is not a solution.
I say join, tweet nothing except censorship on Twitter. Basically, make them ban you to show Twitter censorship is true.
Ditto for Facebook , Google, Amazon ,youtube.
Just Google controls what we see on the internet.
Any of these leftist monopolies can kill any website on the internet not on their platform by just refusing to allow the sharing of it.
All of these together are making us conservatives invisible on the whole internet which will lead to the democrats taking the midterms and to a socialist state. Is that what we want ?
why not print what Twitter actually said?
I agree “hypocrisy” is accurate, but it doesn’t seem specific enough. People can be hypocritical in a huge number of ways that are not related to this.
Of that latter I have not a scintilla of doubt, FRiend.
Starting a new one is fine and dandy, but it's only about three months to a very important election. Not enough time to migrate over.
Except demand.
There is a huge demand for a platform that is neutral. Their criteria for banning would be legal/illegal.
Illegal, shut them down and call the police.
Legal, hands off policy.
The censorship that is going on is not part of a free society. It is part of a tyrannical police state.
It does not matter that these platforms are not owned by the DNC. They are simpatico. They are colluding with the DNC to censor the political opposition.
Yep!!!
Now THAT....I might pay to watch.
I have a prepaid phone just for websites that ask for a phone number. Never answer it.
“footnote: Although its not technically censorship if its not a government doing it.”
No. It’s censorship. Just not a violation of the First Amendment, and thus, possibly legal.
I opened my first and only Twitter on Monday, looked at the President Twitter comments, never posted,— account was locked Wednesday for inappropriate content, wanted my info too, unbelievable!!
It was 9 years ago. I cannot remember exactly.
They’re locking out conservatives. They are out to give the midterms to the democrats so they can impeach Trump.
This is war.
There are apps which generate fake phones , numbers , or prepaid phones which are cheap
Oh, and Twitter locked me out too.
So i installed epic privacy browwer on a pc , used their proxy which makes them think I’m in another country and i was able to create a fake twitter account .
I’m sorry, I posted multiple replies.
Can you be more specific or copy a portion.
Thanks for replying to a post. I was starting to feel like FR was ghosting me. LOL.
Oh no, I want to stay within their constitutional authority(which would them a tenth their size).
We are free people, we need to act like it.
Asking the govt to fix every problem would make us serfs.
Free market solutions. People have the power to change things but too many people are not willing to use it.
