TRS: This happened a lot quicker than I thought it would. It’s only been a few weeks since Twitter announced it would ask a panel full of left-wing nutjobs to police their social media platform and shut down supposed “bullying,”
Here’s what they said:
That’s why we are announcing the formation of the Twitter Trust & Safety Council, a new and foundational part of our strategy to ensure that people feel safe expressing themselves on Twitter.
As we develop products, policies, and programs, our Trust & Safety Council will help us tap into the expertise and input of organizations at the intersection of these issues more efficiently and quickly.
We have more than 40 organizations and experts from 13 regions joining as inaugural members of the Council. We are thrilled to work with these organizations to ensure that we are enabling everyone, everywhere to express themselves with confidence on Twitter.
I’ve started seeing people say that minor accounts were being banned, but it was hard to know why they were being banned and if it had anything to do with MORE

TWITter….nuff said
So twitter Blacklists the “bad” and whitelists the “good” , where is a good SJW when you need one?
And last I’d heard, the Twit stock is tumbling. Twit can’t go bankrupt fast enough to suit me.
Twiiter already has 40 organizations just to act as cyber-referees on free speech and anti-bullying… what an instant mega- bureaucracy !!
Usually that many layers of busy-bodies takes years to develop.
Let the tweety birds chirp in their own echo chamber.
While you at it get off of facebook too.
so could this be related to the Hitler article below? Perhaps the Twit heads have a similar biological issue?
Skarew social media, as an old musician I have too many ex’s for fun with social media (as they are all still beautiful and I am an old wizened gnome).
Liberals have become a bunch of pussies who are foaming at the mouth to be tyrants.
AND they need to be protected from disagreeable opinions?
What happened to the curt rejoinder?
What happened to the verbal riposte?
Hoisting someone on their own petard?
Bah!
The real problem is that there is no more strident conservative than a liberal who just got mugged. So that after they have their epiphany and realize how the world really works they will still be pussy tyrants, only now on ‘our side.’
Swell
Why don’t Liberals be like real chaff and just blow away?
If Twitter folds, how’s Trump gonna get his message out?
?
ALL SOCIAL MEDIA IS FOR LIBERALS
(sarc on) yeah that’ll teach ’em. Let the Left rule social media.
I just shorted it. It has been diving over the past year, this certainly ain’t going to help support the price.
It was invented by liberals for liberals. Conservatives need to get their head out of their ass. Make your own twitter. And other social media.
All 3 of them stopped using twitter. Guess that’s the end of Twiter.
I used to really like Twitter but the addition of video and images makes the newsfeed junky and hard to read. 140 characters of quality snark was the basis of Twitter. Now, it’s a amalgamation of Instagram, Vine, Pintrest and Facebook.
I wonder if I’ll get booted off of Twitter for making fun of Michael Medved?
I stick to hashtag comedy mainly on Twitter – I need a break from politics sometimes. But it is important that conservatives fight for their place on social media. The wicked prosper when good people do nothing.
I helped my son set up an awesome train track in his room using shoe boxes as tunnels. Later on I enjoyed a cigar on the deck while conversing with my better half.
What is this twitter you speak of?
Where Atlas to shrug all these progressive vapor ‘businesses’ would fold within months.
“Trust and Safety Council”
STRAIGHT OUTTA ‘1984’
Glad I never started using Twitter, but thank you to all the conservatives who did and ripped the mask off.
Conquest’s Second Law:
“Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.”
If you had any doubts about Twitter, their creation of a squad of insane, evil, control-freak, feminazi thought police, to moderate posts should have eliminated that doubt.
And it’s only going to get worse…
“Clinton will participate in a Menlo Park fundraiser on Sunday hosted by Twitter executive Omid Kordestani…”–WFB
Deleted my account yesterday
Twitter is a leftist test to find the best way to shut down free speech.
And I’ll go to my grave never knowing what it’s like to tweet or post a facebuck whatever. We do need our own conservative platform that bypasses all the progressive controllers.
I just deactivate my rarely used Twitter account. A tiny gesture, but when I tell my friends and they tell their friends . . . .
Their stock has tanked from $50 to $18 in less than a year. That’s a good news story.
Oh, yeah, I’m really going to get spanked for bullying Hillary Clinton.
I will sure miss iowahawk’s pithy rejoinders when they inevitably ban him…
