You really think Twitter locking people out for one night is going to make a dent on anything????????
I don't know if some right-wingers are just hypersensitive or got too much time on their hands.
.
They don't just target regular followers, they target news organizations, journalist, etc. They delete all of their content (work) and control the conversation.
They also have a feature where they "shadow ban" people where the public can see a particular user's posts.
Twitter is a private business and can do what they want. Conservative snowflakes can always create their own social media platform and only allow content they like. That is how capitalism and the free market works. Twitter is under no obligation to provide a platform for any and all content.
While the Left persecuted bakers and photographers for simple refusal to use their creative talents in a way that they found offensive? This is flat out communism! This is NOT the America I want to live in where liberals are first class citizens and the rest of us are treated like crap!
You clearly don't understand what communism is.
A private business exercising control over their private property is pure free market capitalism.
Expecting government to force a private business to provide a platform for all content would be a form of communism. You and others are actually arguing for the government to control the means of production and falsely labeling it freedom. It seems like you support giving government the power to dictate operating policies to private business which is about as far away from American principles as you can get.

It is a private business and private businesses can't defraud. Which is exactly what Twitter has done.
I'm seeing from the trending #TwitterLockout tag that tons of people, who all seem to be conservative, are having issues being locked out tonight. (I wasn't one of them, but,on the other hand, like many of them have also complained, I'm bleeding followers despite having more and more people following me.)
With the Veritas video, Senator Cruz needs to bring down the hammer on Twitler for their thought police actions. If they can be political, that makes them responsible for all the stuff ISIS and others do on their network according to the law.
If I were you I would stop paying twitter to post on their site.
Yes -- a whole bunch of followers were purged from my account. All bots. I use to try and keep up but they would keep adding on. I was in the thousands and I am thrilled Twitter is cleaning house for me.
Problem is most that use Twitter don't believe that those bots exist, don't know how to spot them and were flattered they were so popular -- lol.

How is it communism?
Twitter is completely voluntary. They allow people to join at their discretion. They allow them to utilize the platform at their discretion.
Twitter users are not a protected class.
It's their game and if you want to play, you play by their rules.

Please explain in more detail this alleged fraud. How can you defraud someone that is a voluntary participant utilizing a free service? What elements of fraud are present here?
What Twitter did this last election cylce dwarfed any type of Russia scandal. They literally manipulated internally while misleading the public.
But hey, Jack Dorsey needs 24/7 security. If its worth it to him...
