Kangana slams Twitter CEO after ban on Trump, asks him to not preach

Twitter is being controlled by "Islamist nations and Chinese propaganda", the Bollywood actress tweeted a day after Twitter ban on Donald Trump.

Sharing a 2015 tweet of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Sunday slammed Jack accusing him of showing intolerance "for anything". The tweet comes a day after the micro-blogging platform permanently banned US outgoing President Donald Trump's personal handle @realDonaldTrump and @TeamTrump and deleted some recent posts of @POTUS handle.

Kangana quoted an old tweet of Jack where the CEO had said Twitter stands for freedom of expression and asked him to stop preaching. "We stand for speaking truth to power. And we stand for empowering dialogue," he had written on Twitter.

Jack: "Twitter stands for freedom of expression. We stand for speaking truth to power. And we stand for empowering dialogue."

"No you don’t, Islamists nation and Chinese propaganda has (sic) bought you completely, you only stand for your petty gains. You shamelessly show intolerance for anything other than what they want. U are nothing but a little slave of your own greeds. Don’t preach again its embarrassing," Kangana wrote.

The ban on Donald Trump has opened a debate of freedom of expression as several Indian celebrities, politicians have voiced opinions against such "muscle flexing" of tech companies. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Saturday condemned the action and said it is a wake-up call for those who don't yet understand the threat to democracies by unregulated big tech companies. He also urged the Centre to review guidelines for intermediaries. Intermediaries can't interfere into social media content, he said.

Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi also slammed Twitter for reaping benefits of Trump's "hate speeches" for long and then banning him when he is out of power.

A Mumbai-based lawyer, Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh, had approached the Bombay High Court last year seeking blocking of Kangana Ranaut's Twitter account as he alleged the actor of hurting religious sentiments. The Bombay high court, however, said Kangana has the fundamental right to have an account to express her thoughts.

One thing that Americans may lose sight on, there IS global support for Donald Trump. It can be found in Mexico, Australia, and apparently even in India.

This is not a comprehensive list, just pointing out where I have seen public remarks

Chicoms are also using American business managers to persecute other Americans and American businesses. Look down near the end of the article.

I have heard Polish gov on TV denouncing the oligarchs!
They actually called them “Oligarchs”, destroying freedom of speech.
I think the Oligarchs kind of overplayed their hand. They showed what they can do, so lot of places realized their power and got scared. I would not be surprised, if they were hit by some antitrust law somewhere. Or RICO or whatever.
They are global, it only needs one gov somewhere to go after them.

I think India might be a good place for Patriots to flee once the Corporatist fascists consolidate their power here. There were “stop the steal” events all over that country recently. Also in Nigeria, Jamaica, and other nations. Common people everywhere know we are all being absorbed into a Borg collective, but resistance is NOT futile.

Pretty much nails the definition of today’s “liberal “; intolerant of everything.
