Stefan Molyneux has been suspended from Twitter just one week after YouTube banned the Canada-based philosopher from their video-sharing platform. In a video published following the suspension, Molyneux said “As far as I understand it, Twitter says they kicked me off for spam and platform manipulation. Specifically, operating fake accounts.” Molyneux said on Parler he received the ban just after promoting an essay detailing what he believes about issues including the state, race, men and women, and the family. Twitter’s suspension follows YouTube’s move last week to delete Molyneux’s channel which contained thousands of videos, attracted over 250-million views, and…

Avi Yemini was banned from Twitter after a tweet addressed to climate change activist Greta Thunberg was flagged as being in breach of Twitter’s EULA. Yemini’s criticism wasn’t without merit. He was responding to Greta’s widely publicised, scripted speech, performed before the UN summit on Climate Change. Her performance appeared manufactured and forced. Emotionally distraught, Greta appeared to be intimidated and scared. She repeated the words ‘’How dare you” as part of her claim that the UN (aka the world) had “stolen her dreams and childhood with empty words”, and that “people are suffering, people are dying” and that “entire…

The decision to temporarily suspend the official Twitter account of the pro-life film Unplanned backfired yesterday with the account gathering over 200k followers after it was restored. Today, Twitter has responded to the overwhelming support by preventing people from actively ‘following’ Unplanned’s twitter page. “I was following Unplanned Movie, but Twitter has removed them from my follow list,” one user said. “Click follow, hit home and then go back to Unplanned’s twitter page. You won’t be following anymore,” another said. WATCH: Same problem here. I hit Follow. Everything seems OK. Refreshed page. Suddenly not following anymore. Follow again. Looks OK.…

According to Twitter, Loomer was suspended for violating the platforms rules against “hateful conduct.” The offending tweet read: “Isn’t it ironic how the twitter moment used to celebrate ‘women, LGBTQ, and minorities’ is a picture of Ilhan Omar?

How hateful do you have to be to get expelled from the Party of Diversity? We’ll find out today, depending on whether NSW Opposition Leader Luke Foley removes Shaquette Moselmane as the Labor Party’s Chief Whip in the upper house. Moselmane has form for antisemitic tweeting, as NSW Treasurer pointed out in Question Time yesterday. But his dissemination – at 10pm Wednesday night – of a Jewish conspiracy article is a new low, even for him. It’s more a ramble than an article – the familiar trope about Israelis controlling Australian foreign policy – but what makes it interesting is…

Alex Jones has copped a seven day ban on Twitter for sharing a video about censorship on social media. The video titled “Trump Must Take Action Against Web Censorship” apparently “violated Twitter’s rules against abusive behavior.” The ban comes one week after InfoWars was permanently mass-banned from Facebook, Apple, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify and other social media platforms. Whatever you think of Alex Jones and InfoWars, his enemies sure know how to make a martyr out of him.

In yet another wave of political censorship, Gavin McInnes and his organisation Proud Boys have been permanently banned from Twitter. The accounts were shut down for violating the company’s policies prohibiting violent extremist groups, a Twitter spokesperson told Buzzfeed. According to Breitbart, “the left-leaning magazine Variety drew a link between the bans and the upcoming Unite The Right 2 rally in Washington D.C., organized by alt-right activists. Yet both McInnes and the Proud Boys have disavowed the alt-right.” OAN correspondent Jack Posobiec shared a screenshot of a Tweet McInnes sent just prior to his deletion. “It goes without saying,” McInnes…

A New York judge has ruled President Donald Trump cannot legally block offensive or trolling Twitter users because it violates their right to free speech in a “public forum.” I sued the President, and I won. https://t.co/hE3rWcxIAY — RPBP (@rpbp) May 23, 2018 United States district judge Naomi Reice Buchwald said, “The president presents the @realDonaldTrump account as being a presidential account as opposed to a personal account and, more importantly, uses the account to take action that can be taken only by the president as president.” The Knight First Amendment Institute, representing seven plaintiffs who had been blocked, brought…

An undercover investigation by Project Veritas has revealed Twitter censors political content they don’t like. In the video below, eight current and former Twitter employees are on camera explaining the steps taken to down rank and even censor right-leaning content. You may even be censored without warning or notification. Former software engineer, Abhinav Vadrevu, explains “shadow banning,” as a means of banning someone without notifying them. “They don’t know they’ve been banned, because they keep posting, but no one sees their content. So the just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is…

The Australian Parliament votes in favour of redefining marriage and how do same-sex marriage supporters celebrate? By taking to their Twitter feeds and tweeting, “Eat sh-t Lyle.” The phrase has been tweeted so many times that it’s now trending globally.
