After 'Hate' Warning, Black Conservative Says Twitter ‘Coming After Trump Supporters’

Comedian Terrence K. Williams of “The Deplorables” comedy troupe, pleaded for help Friday amidst fears Twitter was targeting his account for his support of President Trump. A popular blue check conservative with over 600,000 followers, Williams received a legal warning from Twitter right before he was to go to the White House’s “Young Black Leadership Summit.”

A little after 2pm on October 4, Williams tweeted, “TWITTERS LEGAL TEAM CONTACTED ME ON THE DAY I GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE! People want to take my account down because I said Schiff Should Resign, called out AOC & I support Pres @realDonaldTrump I NEED YOUR HELP. Please RT & comment using #ProtectTerrencekWilliams @w_terrence” along with a video of him talking about it with an image of the Twitter legal notice.

“They are coming after Trump supporters,” he warned in the video. “2020 is around the corner and they are trying to take down accounts that support President Donald J. Trump. They are trying to take down big accounts like mine that support President Trump. Twitter’s legal team has contacted me to notify me that my account has been flagged for possible hate conduct because I made a video about how Adam Schiff should resign and how the Democrats should stop harassing President Donald J. Trump.”

He questioned the timing of the notice, noting, “The day that I go to the White House is the day that they notify me that my account may be in possible violations of hateful conduct... I am a conservative Trump-supporting comedian and they want to take me down because people have jumped on the Trump train after watching my content. They want to take people down who are getting people to walk away from the Democratic Party.”

I know. They’re private. So they make their rules.

So maybe i’m wrong and nothing can be done.

I don’t know

Let me spell it out for those who still don’t get it. YOU...ARE...NEVER EVER EVER going to get a fair shake working as a conservative with a far left megacorp. So stop expecting it. I’m sick and tired of people constantly acting surprised when g00gle, Facebook et al inevitably takes a dump on them for being conservative. No sYut, waters going to flow, grass is going to grow. Thats what they do, thats who they are you can’t expect anything different. Whats dumb is that 90% these personalities who get deplatformed are caught completely flatfooted and have no contingency plan. And then they moan and cry for massa to take them back. The plan now is to shutdown smaller people and harass the channels of larger personalities to curtail their growth, don’t buy into it. You’re just helping by whining for a place on the plantation to continue to enrich them and let them bully you.. Work outside the bubble. find another platform, work to break them up I dunno do something besides play their game.

Why isn’t someone smart enough to:

REPLACE TWITTER.

Come on, how hard would that be? Some hungry young man or woman should be able to start a new site.

Make it better, stronger, and more free than the “bird.”

They’re private. So they make their rules.

Then why the hell can't some tech-savvy conservative start an alternative to Twitter, Google and Facebook? We're the ones who believe in free enterprise, so why don't we make use of it?

Yep, people should start using the alternatives instead of whining for Far left twitter/google/facebook to take them back. Its hard but if enough momentum is applied they’ll be begging for us to come back.

Well, this gab sounds interesting.

How come more FReepers aren’t using it A LOT. Get started.
I thought many of you were frequent users of that kind of social communication, and yet, I, who do not happen to use any of it, have no recollection of seeing a post here referring to it.

Some has got to start it... there are so many smart people here. Go for it.

I don’t want to have this misinterpreted nor to offend but the Conservatives are now being persecuted like the Jewish in Nazi era Germany. I have been to ground zero of liberal infested areas where I live and it’s scary. The left is insane.
