Katie Hopkins permanently removed from Twitter
The Guardian via MSN ^ | June 19, 2020 | Nicola Slawson and Jim Waterson

Posted on 06/19/2020 11:37:15 AM PDT by Stravinsky

The controversial rightwing commentator Katie Hopkins has had her Twitter account permanently suspended for violating the platform’s “hateful conduct” policy.

Hopkins, who has been repeatedly retweeted by the US president, Donald Trump, and had more than 1.1 million followers, was removed to “keep Twitter safe”, according to the social media platform.

The move came hours after she had complained that her blue “verified” check mark, which lets users know that an account is authentic, had been removed. A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed her removal to the Guardian.

The statement read: “Keeping Twitter safe is a top priority for us. Abuse and hateful conduct have no place on our service and we will continue to take action when our rules are broken.

“In this case, the account has been permanently suspended for violations of our hateful conduct policy.”

I don’t know why anyone would use that loser site.

Especially our Beloved President.

There must be another venue that is better. The CEO of this Twitter is a nitwit.

It’s a post worth banning over. We aren’t talking about adults who arebeing unwanted de, but children who were used by the millions.

________________________________________________

Oh yeah, we forgot. You do come from a land where you have a Constitutional Right to not be offended.

It’s a tasteless joke, but if flag-burning can be displayed on twitter without a ban, then tasteless comments that offend can be displayed too. At some point the milksops have to be stood up to.

Safe spaces for Twitter folk. Triggered somehow?

Poor babies.

She was not making jokes about the children, she was sarcastically CRITICIZING the practice that turns them into sex slaves.

I’m referring to liberals having double standards. I don’t mind verbal wars when it’s adults, or even children. But making jokes about groomed children is too far in my books.

I’ve often went after liberals when they went after Melania and her past.

Gab needs a app. Without it, Gab is next to wortjkess.

MeWe? It’s like a desert. No one on it.

Maybe we can get Friendster or MySpace back from whoever owns them...think Indonesians own one of them.

Since all of this the only thing I have seen is blacks attacking whites white scum and blacks rioting whilst their masters sit in the shadows looking to take power for themselves.

That was a jab at Islam, they love kids, though very inappropriately.

I can't believe there's not one Conservative billionaire in the world who can see what's going on with the advent of the Iron Cyber Curtain, and thinks, hmmm....maybe I should create my own search engine and platform?

I can see why President Trump doesn't fund the startup himself while he's still in office, but come on...there has to be someone else that is scared to death by what is happening to Freedom in the world.

I wish she had done it another way. I have no problem taking jabs at Islam, but it seemed like an attack upon abused children.

This appears to have been motivated not by anything hateful from the subject, but by the organization not liking her preferences.

Sadly, the news is increasingly dominated by those seeking to deny the rights of other people to have historic identifications.

The media appear unable to understand what the "debate" is or is not about.

The controversial rightwing commentator Katie Hopkins

To twitter, is there such a thing as a rightwing commentator who is not controversial?

“She made a joke about Megan Merkel getting pregnant faster than an 11 year old Rotherham child.”
Maybe she was making a point not a joke.

‘I’m not about censorship but we shouldn’t “joke” about certain things.’
I guess it’s not censorship if you get to decide what is or is not appropriate.
