I'm shocked an elitist ultra white South African apartheid beneficiary has failed to make something as stupid as Twitter less stupid.

Of course if it were the other way around, and twitter/facebook/reddit etc were dominated by conservatives going overboard on censoring leftist talking points, then suddenly they would find a problem with it.
To be clear, I'm neither surprised nor bothered by big tech censorship - it's just absolutely hilarious watching you and fal do complete 180s on all those lofty ideals you once pretended to have.

With the way Twitter is being ran now, you have to be a serious douchebag to manage to get your account suspended. I mean seriously, it's a pretty impressive feat to pull off now. Where as before, all you had to do to get suspended was hold conservative leaning viewpoints or question regime propaganda.
From the link: Chad Loder, an outspoken antifascist activist in Los Angeles, has been suspended.
That should tell you all you need to know if you'd bother to use your brain. Antifa is a violent hate organization filled with members who regularly both engage in as well as threaten violence against others. There is a pretty high chance here that our "friend" Chad threatened somebody with violence, because that's what it takes to lose your account now.
The point is, there is absolutely *zero* proof here that he was suspended for any kind of political reason at all, unlike the *many thousands* of people who were censored by the woke leftists running twitter, and who now - Thank God - have gotten the karma they deserved and have been booted from Twitter.
Also, if you check Chad's twitter you will see his account is actually active, meaning if he was suspended, it was only for a very short time frame. There is also the possibility he was never even suspended at all and the individual in Koods' link is a hysterical liar.
At any rate, Twitter was a political tool for the left to push their agenda for years. They censored tens of thousands of people based on sketchy shoddy and often blatantly false reasoning. Something which you, Koods, and several other posters on this forum stood up for like a bunch of good authoritarians.
How convenient for you and Koods to suddenly care about censorship on twitter, eh? After defending it for so long. And you call me a hypocrite

No. There are organized campaigns targeting accounts with bullshit TOS violation reports

I don't care about twitter, I'm just laughing at the sudden change in opinion from you, who once screamed from the rooftops: "They're fine with big tech censorship so long as it benefits them! They will find any excuse, any justification to explain it away as being okay!"
I have no morals, but I thought you did.

This entire twitter situation is so much fun to watch. The same people that melted because a private platform moderated their own property are now cheering for them while they moderate their own private property. It's like they never knew what they were talking about in the first place.

I find it poignant that they are now moderating "left" positions, which has caused 30% of large advertisers to flee the site. Almost like people, outside a vocal minority, do not agree with "right" talking points. Fortunately I never had a Twitter account, but I sure do love watching a slo mo flaming wreck.

The crazy thing is that it has been proven time and time again that Twitter wasn't favoring the left in anyway, in fact probably the opposite. So it's just ignorant cry babies being ignorant cry babies as usual. I haven't used it in a decade or more. Once the news started using it as news content it was all over.

Yep. Twitter was actually promoting algorithmically "right" content. Much like other sites that use algorithms to drive views, these things tend to promote outrage. Keeps people's butts at their computer.
It's really only the kool-aid drinkers out there that lack the critical capacity to think that "believe" otherwise.

We've been debating whether Twitter should be banning impersonation accounts, and now you're saying they're doing nothing by banning such accounts?

Can you be more specific, or do just feel that Twitter is a bunch of poo poo heads?
