WTH? Twitter Shuts Down Top Iranian Activist Accounts — Including Leading Critic of Radical Islam
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 16, 2018 | Jim Hoft

On Wednesday Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended the company’s decision to put Infowars founder Alex Jones in a seven-day “timeout”. Dorsey said, “I feel any suspension, whether it be a permanent or a temporary one, makes someone think about their actions and their behaviors,” Dorsey said.

In the same week that Jack Dorsey is lecturing on “appropriate actions and behavior” Twitter just certified racist New York Times writer Sarah Jeong with a blue check mark.

And now this

Twitter shut down two top Iranian activist’s pages today.

Disagreeing in any way with Muslim terrorists or the brutal Iranian government is now banned as "hate speech"

It seems to me any competent attorney could make a fortune going after Twitter...their so called ‘hate policies’ are not enforced equally... no different than having a no shirt no service rule while letting some people in who are naked.

He sure has a lot of power deciding who gets to have a public voice and who doesn’t.

Trump will get right on it, as he did with the Tech Giants Banning Alex Jones. Oh wait, Never Mind, Trump has said nothing about Alex Jones, not a damn word.

This is just the start of Plan B the democrat fascists have come up with to take out Trump.

I may be wrong, but I expect (Well, maybe not expect but at least won't be surprised) to see some reporter well known as someone in the Media formerly known as Mainstream or formerly a big name in that same crowd murdered before the mid-term election with the democrat fascists and their willing accomplices in the Media formerly known as Mainstream yelling that now Trump is murdering reporters just like Putin.

Liberals want to see the world burn. Their actions consistently confirm it.

Thanks detective. Twitter was looking at a grim downward spiral before candidate Trump pretty much singlehandedly revived their prospects. But that isn't going to last, the way the thugs at Twitter operate.

Maybe Trump isn't lifting a finger but if he were it would be an anti-Trust case meaning that his saying anything would be sure to lead to any legal action being “tainted” by comments made by the President making the prosecutor’s job that much harder.

I hope Trump has his people working on this from anti trust perspectives at least or we will go into the elections with NO voice beyond door to to door and US mail in the last month. If on line platforms all are Conservative-Free by the end of September the Radio and TV will follow suit. I expect that sponsors will be heavily pressured by big money to pull all advertising from talk shows and there will be very little coverage of Republican campaigns and lots of glowing TV coverage of Democrat.
I think all that is the immediate goal of the purification of the on line platforms. They know they will be broken up or forced to allow free speech eventually but it will take the courts longer than the next 3 months to do it. If the Democrats take the House and Senate it will all be moot.

What Trump says is not important at all. It is what DoJ is doing that matters and we do not know anything about that yet, by design.

I’m not 100% sure, but the whole AJ situation stinks to high heaven. It seems too easy. And when the site was hacked the other day an handy page to go to an alternate was weird. I don’t support AJ removal in any sense of the idea, but that episode seemed weird to me.

TPTB want a war with Iran and they certainly don’t want Iran to become more liberal and open. They want it to remain the way it is.

Corporations are using censorship to destroy President Trump and achieve Globalism.

Yep, they can’t have another Brexit or Trump. They weren’t paying attention to the activism that lead up to these two things, and now all voices who don’t agree must be silenced. Especially leading up to the midterms here in the US.

Alex Jones is too hot for Trump to touch. The media and opposition would have made much hay out of that.
