The high-profile attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old charged with fatally shooting two people in Kenosha, said he was locked out of his Twitter account Tuesday after posting about raising money for Rittenhouse's legal defense.
L. Lin Wood argued the action against his account is the latest example of Twitter censorship of conservative voices and he intends to file a lawsuit against the social media giant and its CEO Jack Dorsey.
"I'm going to take Jack Dorsey's ass down," Wood told Fox News. "He has been abusing the First Amendment of this country for his own agenda."
Wood was blocked from tweeting for several hours on Tuesday for violating Twitter rules. Wood said he's been careful to abide by Twitter's terms of service. But he got a notice that his account was locked for "glorifying violence."
"I knew they were going to censor me because I'm sending a message of hope," Wood, who posts regularly to his nearly 138,000 followers, told Fox News. "I'm sending a message of truth. And I'm sending a message that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent."
Hours after the account had been suspended, Twitter said it made a mistake in a statement to Fox News.
"This account was incorrectly actioned," a Twitter spokesperson said. "This has been reversed and the account has been reinstated."

Wood said he now intends to rely on Parler, the social media service that has attracted conservatives fed up with Twitter.
Wood said he's been accumulating "a mountain of evidence" to support a lawsuit against Twitter for discriminating against users based on political speech.

I joined online on my laptop. That’s the only way I access it. I don’t use my cell phone for anything other than phones calls, and doing searches from time to time.

Since Twitter is a private company, how can they be faulted for contoling their content?
There are thousands of other places where we can post our opinions to the world.
I don’t look at or post on Twitter except when someone posts a link to a particular posting on Twitter (a Tweet or alternatively a dropping).
I am on it and I did not have a cell phone.
I generally don’t care much for lawyers, but I will gladly make an exception for this guy!
I use it only for my pc and do not have a cell phone just sign up. They may ask you for a phone number I just used my landline. I actually like it. It is fun and informative like
Free Republic is.

Need popcorn.
Lots.
We could start a Go Fund Me page for him in his endeavors but them leftwing whacks would block it too.
That level can’t have many members! But yes, he’s a hero
Only arsonists, vandals and violent mobs are allowed on Twitter.
I just started an account there. How do I find him? It wasn’t under his name.
Has Twitter received federal funding?
Of any kind?
The First Amendment protects us from government abuse not from corporate abuse. As an attorney I would assume Wood knows that.
Try searching on Parler for LLinWood
Found him. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Yeah, go ahead and try to make the case that Lin Wood doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Excellent - Twitter, Facebook, Google- I hope he sues them all.
