Just because some parents allow their children to roam freely on Twitter etc. The Tweeter Bird thinks they should police their platform so 5 yr olds won't get too educated.

WhyNoDonuts

That's the price of spreading the truth, you get shut down.

Twitter is part of the Cabal-controlled world.

PlasmaTorch

Twitter is for SJWs and cucks. Everyone who isn't just gets banned.

I've never used it.

The Equadorian embassy cut him off from the internet in March. His legal team took over his Twitter account since then. I don't know the circumstances of the account's recent suspension though.

RampancyLambentRaven

THEY JUST BAN AND SHADOW BAN FOR NO REASON! ASSHOLES!

Twitter isn't a human right. Shut the fuck up and build your own network.

EIMR

Just like Gab! oh wait.

talmoridor-x

Make it more anonymous and decentralized. Have some balls and use your fucking brain.

RampancyLambentRaven

THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU OR YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!

fluhthreeex

GOOD. I NEED A SAFE SPACE.

BlueDrache

They're a private company. They don't have to.

Humansized

Npc reply. Good job repeating what you were told. Kys if you cant think for yourself. Muh private company smfh

Anaximandel

Fuck off with this reddit tier reply.

BlueDrache

Until it's codified in case law or statutory law, my argument stands as-is. No amount of temper tantrums on your end will fix it. So kindly go be a nigger somewhere else.

kneo24

It's a Reddit tier reply for a couple of reasons.

  1. Twitter advertised itself as a free speech platform and it's only recent in the past couple of years where they've done a very public and obvious 180 on that.
  2. When people typically talk about "right to free speech" in regards to other companies, they mean the spirit of the law and value to society it has, no the letter of the law to govern.

talmoridor-x

Make your own platform, you fucking pussy. More government is never the answer.

Beta_Ray_Bill

Like gab?

talmoridor-x

Gab was asking for it by not being secure

BlueDrache

Unfortunately, the spirit of the law does not govern. The letter does.

peacegnome

It is also a Reddit-tier reply because it is what the npc script says. There was even an image macro here a few days ago.

RampancyLambentRaven

They just ban anyone on social media for the sake of banning anyone. Dude. Fuck these pussies and fuck these assholes.

madhatter67

does anyone know the reason given for this? or are they not even bothering with dumb justifications anymore?

NeedleStack

It was probably due to pressure from the Ecuadorian government. They have imposed ridiculous censorship on Assange and his colleagues lately. Read more about that here.

They're basically threatening Assange with extradition to the US or UK if his friends and colleagues convey anything journalistic that Assange himself would publish.

Assange's Twitter account has been run by his legal defense team since the embassy cut him off from the internet and they have continued to publish what Ecuador would consider criticisms of Ecuador and its 'friendly' nations.

So I would not be surprised if the Ecuadorian government pressured Twitter to suspend the account

qwop

It seems it was not a ban. The explanation:

  1. The original JulianAssange account was renamed to AssangeDefence
  2. Someone grabbed the now free JulianAssange
  3. The new account was banned because it was acting as an impostor

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/1057725763238141952

NeedleStack

AssangeDefence is the account his legal team is using. No one grabbed the Assange account after the embassy blocked him from having internet. His legal team took over the Assange account when that happened.

Retron

Likely they will say it's because Julian himself doesn't run the account anymore since he was taken offline earlier in the year, and they count this as "impersonation".

NeedleStack

No. When the embassy blocked internet for Assange, his legal team took over the account. I do not know the circumstances of the suspension but the team announced they were going to use a different account from then on.

jollux

Wouldn't that argument be a little too... true?

peacegnome

If they want to apply that rule, where a rep can't post on your account, then just about every high profile account should be kicked

jollux

True, but they also aren't known for applying rules evenly.

BOILEDSWEETS

If Julian Assange ever gets to leave that embassy,[without arrest and being thrown in jail for life] he will be hounded, harassed and followed to his death if he is not careful and takes adequate steps to keep himself alive.
