Breitbart.com/tech:
Twitter apologized, Friday, after allowing “Kill All Jews” to becoming a top trending topic on the social network.
“Kill All Jews” became a top trending topic on Twitter, Thursday, after the phrase was graffitied by a vandal onto a Brooklyn synagogue.
“This phrase should not have appeared in trends, and we’re sorry for this mistake,” claimed a Twitter spokesman to the Wrap. “At times, we do prevent certain content from trending and we have now done so with this trend. This was trending as a result of coverage and horrified reactions to the vandalism against a synagogue in New York. Regardless, it should not have appeared as a trend.”
On Twitter’s help page, the company explains that sometimes it “may prevent certain content from trending,” including trends which, “Contain profanity or adult/graphic references,” “Incite hate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease,” and, “Violate the Twitter Rules.”
Twitter has faced repeated criticism for refusing to take action against anti-Semitism on its platform, most notably from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan — despite the fact that Twitter frequently suspends popular conservative and libertarian accounts. more
Those damn algorithms
We are very sorry at Twitter. We never intended to offend anyone. It only came to our attention when it surpassed #KillTrump.
The more they try to control things the more out of control it gets. Idiots!
Yet Twitter was able to find and shut down 10,000 accounts they believe were trying to suppress democrat voters. Priorities, I guess.

“Contain profanity or adult/graphic references,” “Incite hate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease,” and, “Violate the Twitter Rules.”
In other words – nothing goes on that we don’t explicitly condone.
The “Kill All Jews” trend was OK until someone brought it someone’s attention.
To whom did they “apologize?” I smell BULLSHIT!
Get caught with your pants down, pissing on the hydrangea, and “apologize?”
It’s not an “accident.”
izlamo delenda est …
Twitter manipulates what is trending. Twitter manipulates which tweets they want us to see first. They manipulate everything and all in favor of Liberals.
I’m only there because of the President, and in order to see his tweets I have to go to his account, they never show up on my timeline. While there, Twitter suggests me to follow “Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres, Eric Holder, etc…never one suggestion to follow any conservative.
Accurately reporting what occurred?
“We apologize for not vetting the news, more thoroughly, before subjecting our users to it. We will continue improving our vetting, in the future.”
Why do people think they need Twitter? Why support this fascist enterprise?
It was not a mistake, and Twitter is not sorry. Liberals lie and then lie about lying.
@ImperatorRex got his Twitter account suspended last night because he dared to talk about the Dan Bongino interview with George Papadopoulos. Though he was suspecting it was a matter of time before they took his account out.
@RightWinger – now we’ve lost @ImperatorRex and @ThomasWictor. More to come, I’m sure, at least until after the election.
I’m mainly on Twitter because President Trump uses it to communicate. Now that gab has been defranchised, there is really no alternative. Congress needs to put the brakes on this anti-conservative bias on social media.
The level hate non twitter makes the hair ion the back of my neck stand up.
Too bad Twitter can’t be declared a public utility.
Then we could get rid of all these power-drunk Jr High hallway monitors
