Now Conservative users have a course of action for this political censorship..... time for a class action suit!

yup • 6 years ago

Communist leftwing tactics, silence and censor those who's opinions threaten the ideology and progress of the Leftwing democrat communist party.

God, guns, and the love of America is what our founding fathers had in their hearts. This America hating immigrant named Pranay Singh is not what our founding fathers wanted.

He is just doing what the American owners of Twitter tells him to do.

Budda • 6 years ago

Agreed. Class action and possible criminal activity.

Tspo • 6 years ago

Since it’s not a government entity I doubt it can be successfully sued. The best way to deal with this is for conservatives to quit using it. Hurt their advertising revenue and they’ll listen....or go out of business.

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

you want to sue a private company that doesn't charge for the use of its communications platform? You sound like a socialist pig.

jersey swamps • 6 years ago

Social media, like Twitter, has become the new "town square" where free speech should rule. All speech should be protected. Twitter, FB, etc. are no longer private companies. They control or are today's town square.

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

It's not public space. No public funds invest in its servers and software. In fact, Twitter pays into public funds and gets nothing in return. It can and should tell whoever it wants to piss off.

jersey swamps • 6 years ago

Most of what you say may be or used to be true. But social media has become something different. It's like a private British company buying up the town squares in colonial times and removing all flyers critical of the crown.

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

That makes no sense. It's a free, opt-in service, not a public space. You tards just like to make wild claims against anyone who doesn't want to deport 30 million Mexicans. That's all you really care about. That and ending social programs for blacks. I'd respect you more if you just would say it.

Vito dags • 6 years ago

Oh hell yes I want to end welfare, Medicaid. For all lazy colors. Black, White don't matter. Also deport all illegal scumbags that snuck in to this country. Question, who the hell do people who can't afford to feed them self's think that they can keep banging out kids. They stop the welfare and Medicaid. These lowlifes will slow down on the breeding. So Trevor the dog ass sniffer. Do you still live with mommy and daddy? Since it doesn't bother you our tax's pay for these illegals. I'll bet you're a jobless little sissy boy. Oh or are you a girl today. Lbgtkcszwhng what ever letter you freaks want to add. Remember BLACK LIES MATTER

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

Right on. So how does that impact the free use of Twitter? You have to try harder, dirt bag.

jersey swamps • 6 years ago

If you own a house and the land it's on you should be able to do what ever you want with it. You know that ain't true. All kinds of rules, regulations and laws. All there for the public good.

QuestionMark666 • 6 years ago

None of that legally has any bearing. The law prohibits the government from limiting speech, but businesses like Twitter are free to moderate however they see fit.

QuestionMark666 • 6 years ago

Remind me what damages you could sue for?
The answer is 'None'

SHEEPLEWATCH • 6 years ago

Germany new hate speech law amounts to same censorship. We are witnessing the end of free people.

Britain too.

dd • 6 years ago

Wrong, it’s a private business. Not a hate crime, so it’s legal

jimmy chacko • 6 years ago

They are inconsistently applying their own code of conduct. I agree we shouldn't get the govt involved but we should point out the hypocrisy.

The bakery, genius, discriminated against gays. Gays are one of the protected classes, federal law. Customers of Twitter, last time I checked, aren’t a protected class. There’s a difference, then, between the bakery and Twitter. And there are similarities, such as they are each a private business. But I hope I have educated you as to the differences.
I am not surprised at your lack of education and kindness, seeing the confederated flag, the flag of loser racists, and your deplorable name, which is what you and the rest of your trailer park dwellers are.

Guest • 6 years ago
dd • 6 years ago

Nice try, but you be wrong. There are 5 or 6 protected classes against hate, federal law. Gays are one of them. Customers of Twitter are not one of them. The bakery , then, violates federal law. Please educate yourself, moron.

Guest • 6 years ago
dd • 6 years ago

If you could read, you would have read that I said twitter is legally ok. They may have a fiduciary or ethical reason, but not a legal reason. So I am right and you are a moron.

Smilin' Sam from Alabam • 6 years ago

Yah? Did they rip you off by giving you access to their free app? Did you read the terms and conditions before accepting them? America - home of the litigious.

You really think you can get money for this? LOL boy you people are not bright at all. Its their platform, they will tell you to go find another.

Simple. Cancel your account with Twitter and head over to GAB! Problem solved. Hit them in their pocket books. Works every time.

And a mass exodus to Gab.

Section 8(a)(2)—Domination or Illegal Assistance and Support of a Labor Organization.
National Labor Relations Act
Examples of violation:
• Taking an active part in organizing a union or a committee to represent employees.
• Allowing one of several unions, competing to represent employees, to solicit on company premises during working hours and denying other unions the same privilege.
• Soliciting and obtaining from employees and applicants for employment, during the hiring procedure, applications for union membership and signed authorizations for the check-off of union dues.
• Refusing to hire qualified applicants for jobs because they belong to a union. It would also be a violation if the qualified applicants were refused employment because they did not belong to a union, or because they belonged to one union rather than another.
Examples of restraint or coercion that violate Section 8(b)(1)(A) when done by a union that is the exclusive bargaining representative:
• Refusing to process a grievance in retaliation against an employee’s criticism of union officers.
• Rejecting an application for referral to a job in a unit represented by the union based on the applicant’s race or union activities
Examples of violations of Section 8(b)(2) are:
• Causing an employer to discharge employees because they circulated a petition urging a change in the union’s method of selecting shop stewards.
• Refusing referral or giving preference on the basis of race or union activities in making job referrals to unit represented by the union.

It's not a criminal act to censor data. It is bad policy and sad, but it is totally legal. There are tons of blogging platforms out there. Choose a different medium, or start your own migroblog.

So no service to certain people in the public market square is ok again?
The Civil Rights Act Was Repealed?
Sweet cakes by Melissa will be glad to hear she can reopen up her bakery.

But Of Course It Wasn't repealed, was it, Hypocrite.

Pretty simple cure..

Nah. Time for a class-action dumping of social media. They have insurance for lawsuits. They don't have insurance for losing revenue.

Genevieve • 6 years ago

To top it all off, this racist bigot Pranay attended Manipal Institute of Technology in Karnataka India.

Another bigoted brown Asian racist job thief. We have been so screwed. More than 1/2 of the Illegals are VISA over stays from India and China.

They can tell Pelosi and ChuckU to shove it. DACA is an Executive Order. Let the clock run out. Enforce our laws, shut off the spigot on benefits and hold employers accountabel. We can live without the wall like EVERY other country who just takes their immigration laws seriously.

Act of Love? How about Act of Suicide. No thanks. It is our turn now and we havew 8 years of getting cr*pped on to fix.

SpacelySprockets • 6 years ago

Bigly class action suit, I hope it puts twitter under. Then someone can start a free network. The communist run twitter.

dooberheim • 6 years ago

A private company can censor anyone they want. Such a suit would be very interesting, but would likely reaffirm the difference between public and private expression (especially since Twitter is free to the user).

The First doesn't apply when your pulpit is owned by a private interest.

DK

At what point does a "Private Company" become a default Public Utility if they offer services billed as such, and used as such?

Ma Bell was once a Private Company.

So are many Electrical Companies.

Interesting.

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

When i) they start to charge fees; ii) are deemed to be providing a public good and iii) when they are regulated by the government (gasp! - regulation?!! on this site?). Twitter meets none of the above.

dooberheim • 6 years ago

Like I say, it'll be interesting to see the results of any suit.

DK

Frankly, I think the more they position as a "Private Company" the more they open themselves up to Libel suits. Being the sole broadcaster of Libelous statements regardless of who the user is that said it.

dooberheim • 6 years ago

Except any "libel" originated with the users of that service, not the service themselves.

It's why there are disclaimer statements on untold news sites that state author's opinions do not represent the website.

DK

Trevor the Dog • 6 years ago

You are just jealous that free thinking investors and entrepreneurs created Twitter and all you got from the Mercers was this stupid rant posting feature at the bottom of poorly written articles.

Dude... please get yourself a tube of Anal Ointment for your BERNIE Butthurt.

You're Weinstein has slid off your OpraH.

:D LOL!
