Roger Stones' Twitter Account Gets Suspended
The picture says it all. Twitter's claim to being a free speech platform is pure bull shit. Whether you like or hate Roger Stone, whether you agree or disagree with Roger Stone's politics, free speech is an essential right that must be defended in any healthy democracy. No one should ever be silenced for their political views. Although an argument can be made that Twitter is a public company and they can block people that they don't agree with, Christian bakers and priests aren't given the same rights under the current legal framework. Until Christian bakers can refuse their services to gay couples getting married, or christian priests can refuse to marry gay couples, a leftist organization like Twitter should be forced to play on the same playing field that conservative small businesses have to play on. It is ridiculous that Twitter keeps on suspending conservative/libertarian pundits from their platform and all I can say is that I'm glad Steemit doesn't block users. Roger Stone, if you ever read this article (which is extremely unlikely), I recommend you ditch twitter and give steemit a try.
Twitter, an international corporation, clearly states in it's user agreement it does not allow these particular types of attacks on other users. Or were you confused and thought Twitter was a branch of the US Government? Com'mon, even Russian trolls are smarter than this.
what attacks are you talking about, they suspended his account?
From Twitter Rules: https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311
Harassment: You may not incite or engage in the targeted abuse or harassment of others. Some of the factors that we may consider when evaluating abusive behavior include:
if a primary purpose of the reported account is to harass or send abusive messages to others;
if the reported behavior is one-sided or includes threats;
if the reported account is inciting others to harass another account; and
if the reported account is sending harassing messages to an account from multiple accounts.
Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.
So tell me, which one of these guidelines did he violate and which tweet caused the violation?
Really? Why don't you ask Twitter. But maybe disparaging Lemon's sexuality with a little derogatory name calling helped. Twitter did him a favor with the temp ban. He needed to cool off before he embarrassed himself, his friends and his family even more. Real men don't act that way, ever.
So you can't point to any tweet. You can't screenshot and post a tweet that violate their terms of services and then you insult Trump and Stone. No wonder no one takes libtards like you seriously. You make claims that you can't even prove.
Libtard?? LOLOLOL.
Buhbye Boris.
Where do we begin. Second tweet is does not violate the terms of service, he's just insulting lemonade which I don't believe is a violation given the guidelines you posted above. The theme with these two tweets are clear that he thinks Don Lemonhead lies a lot. So for the first tweet we can eliminate the hateful content from the list of potentially violated terms of service. Working our way up the list, there's no evidence that he harassed lemonhead from multiple accounts. There are clearly no threats and the account is not meant to send abusive messages to others. The only potential violation is inciting others to harass an account. In my opinion I don't think the first tweet violates that term of service because from the context, it seems like he's calling for people to call BS they feel when lemonade spews BS. That is considered confrontation, a news anchor being proven to report deceptive news would be humiliating since the job description of a news anchor includes honesty. And news anchors that lie would be punished because they won't appear to be as credible so a smaller spot light is put on their content. #ByeFelicia
