When did Twitter explicitly become the Stasi for oppressive regimes on the internet? A widely followed journalist who writes for Huffpo, a true liberal in the sense he wants freedom for his people, was contacted by Twitter and told his account was to be blocked for ‘instigating terrorism’, a complaint levied by the Turkish government.
Really Jack?
Most leftists relished in the censorship when it only targeted conservatives. The unfortunate evolution of oppression is that it eventually encompasses all. The left will devour itself in its never ending quest to censor out the non-chic.

Wow, that’s insane.
One has to, at some point, begin to question who or what is giving these orders to Twitter and FB. I sincerely doubt the CEO’s possess the righteous comport which could cause them to view their platforms in anything but a capitalistic sense.
In fact, if they were pure capitalists, they would be encouraging all manner of correspondence on their portion of the webs. Increased revenue/traffic should, I would assume, be beneficial for owners and run of the mill shareholders alike Any traffic is good traffic. No?
So, if the above is correct, they are being coerced or forced by some outside influence.
