REVEALED: 'Reluctant' Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey permanently banned Trump when colleagues said 'letting the President have an account is like IBM working with the Nazis'

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was reluctant to ban President Donald Trump's account, and only acted after his team said that Trump's tweets were inspiring calls for violence among his supporters on Parler, according to a new report.

As well, anxious Twitter employees compared the situation to IBM's work for the Nazis during World War II, pleading with him to ban Trump.

Dorsey was working remotely a private island in French Polynesia on January 6 when Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, and his top lieutenants pushed to suspend the president's account, according to an account in the New York Times.

So he was forced to do this by his own employees? Is that what he’s trying to push?

Hmm.So many bodies burning in ovens over the past four years. Troops brought home from “make war” locations around the world. No mowing down of violent protesters and looters across the country. But these CEOs think Americans who want peace and prosperity are Nazis????????

I don’t see social media sites staying online. This crap will escalate and the fragile infrastructures they run on will go away.

A small town police department near me got restricted from posting until Jan 23 on Facebook. People intervened and now they are back up. It was amazing how the local liberals defended Facebook’s right to ban the police department.

Democrats have been saying that since Trump came down the escalator, and the entire time Twitter accommodated violent fantasies about murdering him because “knowing that the new Hitler is running for President and you have the chance to stop the world ending, why don’t you take it?”

if Hitler’s belief system was not a nationalistic version of communism the globalist left would love Hitler.

The irony is Stalin basically had the same belief system.

He was not an Internationalist, like Lenin and Trotsky, his goals were more in line to that of the Tsars, and he promoted Russian Nationalism, especially resurrecting Aleksandr Nevsky, and his personal hero, Ivan the Terrible, things that would have appalled Lenin.

Hey Twatter advisors, how many times was Hitler censored when he was in power? Dictators don’t get censored they do the censoring you moorons.

The demsheviks' sudden love affair with property rights has really been something to witness.
You have to bake the cake, your site gets shut down at the slightest whim of the largest corporations in the world in partnership with government agencies, but they get to do whatever they want with their site.

Anybody here read violent posts on Parler? Are violent posts now illegal? Can the government or states make them illegal?
