Texas Sen. Ted Cruz excoriated Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Wednesday over his company’s flagrant censorship against conservatives.

Some background Dorsey and his company have come under fire over the past months for openly censoring conservatives and conservative topics on the platform, including labeling or removing multiple posts from President Trump and his campaign the company decided were in violation of its rules.

Dorsey has himself been quite open about his progressive viewpoints.

Back in 2018, Dorsey shared with his nearly 5 million followers on Twitter a Medium article that essentially called for the ostracizing of Republicans and their supporters because they only care “about rule by and for billionaires at the expense of working people” and not “average citizens.”

Yesterday, Giuliani. Today, Cruz

Some of our guys finally giving the left some much-needed rude pushback. To hell with civility and "reaching across the aisle".

[Freee-dame]

He hasn’t noticed yet that the Republican Party is the party of the middle class, people who work for a living that are not dependent on the government for either handouts or taxpayer funded jobs. The Democrats are the party of the elite and the dependent.

Twitter CEO Dorsey acted like he has little idea what's going on and seemed to be in a total fog (squinting): Um, we believe we handled it correctly. In the case of the New York Post, we made a mistake. We'll need to do better in the future, after the election. But we're doing the best we can for now, before the election (squinting again). Cruz: But you're still blocking the New York Post. Dorsey (squinting): No, we're not. Cruz: But they're blocked from posting anything. Dorsey (still squinting): No, that's untrue. Cruz: Then why can't the NYP post anything? Dorsey: They first need to remove their current link to the NYP article. Cruz: Will that then allow people to see the NYP story? Dorsey: No. Cruz: So you're still blocking them. Dorsey: No, we're not. Cruz: Then why can't people see the article? Dorsey (squinting again): Because the NYP hasn't reposted the article. Cruz: If the NYP reposts the article, will people then be able to see the article? Dorsey: Yes.

Dorsey flies back to California and brags to his fellow Twitter execs: Ha-ha, did you see me piecemeal out my answers to drive that lawyer nuts? Twitter execs: Yeah, that was classic, you made him go ballistic. Ha-ha-ha! ... I especially loved it when you claimed that Twitter is totally unbiased and doesn't favor any candidate. That was a really good one! Ha-ha-ha! You have such a ghoulish, dry sense of humor, Jack! Dorsey: I know. He-he-he ...

Now we can see why Mohammed Dorsey has declared jihad on American conservatives.

They need to hit all of these Tech companies with multi-trillion dollar fines. If they don’t cease and desist, then the fines will double.

[Mr. Rabbit]

TechnoCommies: Muh Private Company!
*Remove Section 230 Loophole...*
Ambulance Chasers: Muh Ghetto Lotto!

[I got the rope]

exactly. do it by rulemaking...let the ambulance chasers sort it out.

[econjack]

We have a hacked materials policy … limiting the spread of materials that are hacked.

And none of the Russia crap that you offered with glee was hacked?

[Ann Archy]

ICK!! HE HAS A NOSE PIERCING??? UGH.DOUBLE UGH!!.

Can section 230 be removed by an executive order?

With the billions/trillions these companies and officers are worth, they are on par with many countries and see themselves in the same light- immune from the wrath of our government.

They are, in short, the modern “robber barons”

[Bob434]

be a dang shame if he accidentally snagged it on a passing camel and ripped it out

[onona]

This is a big tell. Big Tech has just proven that they can do what they want, manipulation wise for whatever ends they want.

Any bluster from Congress is just that. BT will sell to the highest bidder or their favorite ideology.

In short, gird your loins.

He’s a real creep. Looks like a crazy cult leader

Elections do not have the answer for autistic burnouts like Jack and Zuck.

Zuck envisions himself as a regular suburban guy, he shoots game, can field dress, bbqs, etc. He's not a regular guy, he is an extremely high-functioning emotionally-impaired autist, but he is, a capitalist who permanently intervened against his own exec crew who wanted to ban Trump from Facebook for his common-sense immigration controls.

Jack is dangerously different. He is a narcissitic fantasist who imagines himself capable in any role but most insidiously, as a Socialist "statesman". Cue the picture of Jack standing starstruck next to Bobo:

Jack literally begged Google to buy Twitter exactly four years ago, and in what was a brazenly miscalculated strategy on his part, began banning conservatives in earnest mid-way through that election season, using the Milo ban as a distraction to Jack banning far more serious voices like Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit). Google feigned disinterest but the real dealbreaker was and is, Jack wanted to be Chairman of Google's Board of Directors.

You have to understand that the only thing that that kind of megalomaniacal, microdosing, starvation-nation freak like Jack Dorsey fears is imprisonment. Period. Not the loss of his company, not the loss of a girlfriend (because, hmmm), but imprisonment.

So Sen. Cruz, if you're just going to drag Jack through your Committee for lulz, all you've done is embolden him. Perhaps start instead with Jack converting small-business Square funds to a 3-month payout delay without any concern...

Twitter is dead.

[colorado tanker]

John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Trust thought they were invulnerable back in the day.

[wiseprince]

Nope, it’s all a show. If Trump doesn’t win its done
Censorship will be engrained

[silent majority rising]

Very astute. If the Republicans don’t win back the House, Senate, and President, nothing will come of it. In fact, they will become more powerful.
