Progressives are hypocrites. They laud free speech and dissent........until they come across views that differ from their own.

They rail against war.......until one of their own wages it.

They demand "civility"......and don't engage in it themselves.

They call those who dare disagree with them, "raaaaacists"; but have no problem using the grossest epithets against conservatives who are racial minorities.

They decry sexism.....except for female conservatives.

Progressives are hypocrites.

All conservatives should be censored before their nonsense, like an infectious disease, spreads to others.

Yep. Automated Removal Protocols are very popular amongst sites that have so much activity that there aren't enough staffers to handle every individual complaint. Enough people report something, it will automatically be removed and the account may end up temporarily deactivated.

If you're trying to make some silly connection with CD, there's no automated system in place.

This, too. But either way, it's not bias that's going on. It's idiots being idiots towards an idiot on a website full of idiots and abusing an automated system. *shrug*

And considering the millions upon millions of accounts, Twitter's people don't have time to read each and every report until somebody emails them. Even then, just imagine how many people would be needed to read each and every complaint email...
I have never tweeted and won't do so and this story is a strong part of why I refused to take part in that whole damned thing from the start. When groups can band together and do what this bunch did to Loesch they will do so and that is part of the real problem with our system.

That a privately owned website has an automated system for handling mass reports of a single account or tweet?

Calling out nut jobs is now a liberal bias?

NetRight Daily » Twitter censoring is getting out of control

[LEFT]Last night, the left-wing Twitter censors came out in force. Just like last week when our own Free Market America project was suspended from Twitter, conservatives rallied late into the night to help free @ChrisLoesch (Chris is the husband of radio host Dana Loesch).
To read up on what went down, check out these links courtesy of Michelle Malkin:
1. Twitter suspends another conservative account; Update: Chris Loesch free, flag-spam prog brigade still loose; Update: Loesch suspended again
2. Twitter, you have a problem: An infestation of radical flag-spam abusers
3. Dissent for me, but not for thee: liberals justify Twitter gulag for conservatives

Must be frustrating to live in a society where every one is out to get you,Liberals,socialists and Communists hiding around every corner ,even the social media cant be trusted,maybe you ought to abandon this forum as there could be Liberals here that are out to corrupt your mind, sounds like a breeding ground for paranoia and delusion.....

Oh no, I was talking about the system of government we have in the US. There was a time I questioned the "computer" of the forum but I no longer do that.
