Twitter suspended U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan for a post celebrating the success of the U.S. southern border wall keeping violent criminals from reaching American communities.

According to screenshots shared exclusively with The Federalist, Twitter locked Morgan’s account Wednesday afternoon for apparently violating platform rules governing “hateful conduct” after the commissioner attempted to tweet about the wall’s benefits.

Twitter needs to be put out of business. They're anti-American with no respect for the 1st Amendment.

I don’t like twits.

Censorship is repugnant and has no place in a free society.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He was unsuspended after people actually noticed.
Tucker Carlson interviewed him last night.

If even CNN is reporting it, it’s not “EXCLUSIVE”.

Seize , nationalize , and rename Twitter

[shelterguy]

And put that hippie who runs it in prison.

In an effort to keep private enterprise private, maybe there should be a standardized posting page and you get to choose which platform on which you use to post to that posting page. Or, to remove the monopoly, have FB and Twitter make interfaces to accept posts from other social media and vice verse. Something has got to be done without making it “government controlled” — that scares the hell out of me almost as much as “big tech” censorship.

People sign up on the sites just to be treated like Dirt

...Something has got to be done without making it “government controlled” — that scares the hell out of me almost as much as “big tech” censorship...

In the very earliest day of telephones, way back when, subscribers to one company's service could not call people with other company's service. Eventually the companies worked out a way to interconnect. BUT, we don't think anything of the FCC regulating phone companies and their services.

Not that long ago, if I had a cell phone from one company I could switch to another, but my phone number stayed with the original provider for reassignment to someone else. The phone companies loved this -- you were locked in no matter how crappy the service. They didn't change to the current model of taking your number with you until the government told them they had to. Suddenly, it could be done in less than one day. This is the kind of regulation we need.

This is the example to follow. Step one is to start treating them as publishers.

Is burning books much different than removing or blocking internet content?

[Londo Molari]

I'm sure there are ways to work the logistics out. The current situation is not acceptable — monopolies, “Fact Checkers” and censorship is disgusting. FB and Twitter are suffering from their success and have become too powerful. Google and Amazon both are becoming dangerous monopolies.

Agreed, or at least allow lawsuits.

[No_Mas_Obama]

After more WINNING next week we need to immediately hold feet to fire. Section 230 needs to be REPEALED and lawsuits commenced. Justice Thomas recently laid out a game plan for lawsuits.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Best thing to do is repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. That section immunizes social media companies from lawsuits for defamation, etc., based on things users posted. Eliminate that...and they’d be crippled by private sector lawsuits.

[PATed]

Twitter isn’t the government, they don’t need to follow the First Amendment.

I’m celebrating as Twitter just lost $756 million in net value.

Tweex are for kids.
