Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar - GMDino - 11-23-2018 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/laura-loomer-banned-twitter-after-criticizing-ilhan-omar-n939256 Quote:Far-right activist Laura Loomer became the latest conservative figure to be kicked off Twitter when her account was shut down Wednesday. I'd have to see the rest of what she wrote. I'm sure all of her "thoughts" were simply "Facts" and not "mean" as she says. However no matter where you fall on whether Twitter has the right to ban her (they do) or not I found this bit funny: Quote:"I've been silenced in America," Loomer said in a video posted to YouTube...[url=https://youtu.be/mjWOwyLoqds][/url] Not exactly "silenced in America ma'am. RE: Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar - Benton - 11-23-2018 Loomer cashes in off hate mongering. The less easy it is for her to access people who might believe her, the better. RE: Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar - Nately120 - 11-23-2018 If she is really a Republican she will just work really hard and make a social media platform of her own that dwarfs Twitter as revenge for them banning her.

I'm sure all of her "thoughts" were simply "Facts" and not "mean" as she says. Like most extremists (from both sides) she is 100% lying about her "facts". For example she claims Omar is in favor of FGM (female genital mutilation) when is fact Omar has said it is a hideous act that should be prosecuted criminally. That is exactly why people like her should be banned. All she does is spread hate speech and call "lies" "facts". If that does not get a person banned then nothing should. RE: Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar - michaelsean - 11-26-2018 Twitter can do what they want, but it seems to be pretty subjective.

Agreed and agreed. I'm at work so I'm not going to search for it, but there's an interesting thread elsewhere in which they took tweets that generalized or attacked people, in this case men and Caucasians, and reported them. None of the tweets were taken down or the owner banned or suspended. They then posted the exact same tweets under different names but replaced men with women and replaced "white" with other ethnicities. In every instance that tweet was deleted or the account suspended or banned. So, yes, they are completely free to moderate their platform as they see fit, but I don't think they have even a thin veneer of equal application of said moderation.

I'd like to see the actual study, but it sounds a lot like some Tucker Carlson "White guys are the real victims" type BS.

It really is going to end up becoming a situation where Twitter is for more liberal folks and Gab is for more conservative rather than it being filled with more extremist viewpoints. Gab doesn't get the attention because it isn't as large, but they do a similar thing to folks with more liberal postings from what I have seen. It's just reinforcing tribalist attitudes.

She has been silenced in America and the public is totally unable to hear her political views.

I'm still not sure people should be banned for lies. They should be called out though. And suing should be an option in cases like false accusations.

All except for Trump, the Lord of Twitter. I completely agree with you, consistent application of rules should be the norm for any such company. I despise inconsistency and unfairness. We certainly don't need yet another way to separate us into factions. RE: Laura Loomer banned from Twitter after criticizing Ilhan Omar - GMDino - 11-30-2018 Clinging to her 15 minutes I guess. https://nypost.com/2018/11/29/far-right-activist-laura-loomer-handcuffs-herself-to-twitter-hq/ Quote:Conservative activist Laura Loomer handcuffed herself to the Twitter headquarters in Manhattan on Thursday to protest being banned from the social media site. Apparently Twitter said they were not going to press charges so the cops sent her off. Edit: Because the image/video is worth it.
