White nationalist sues Twitter over being banned

[Ryme]

Twitter currently has every right to ban him for whatever reason. I think we're at the point where a rethink of this is necessary, but right now he has no case, surely.

[Aggrophobic]

Yeah, good luck with that.

[Tackhisis]

Twitter is a monopolist. It provides a communication platform and has no rights to censor people on the political grounds.

It's ridiculous to see people who are all about "natural freedoms", "2nd/14th/whatever amendments", and "spirit of the law" supporting the blatant political censorship.

[Deleted]

Don't see an issue here. Dude broke the laws and got banned for it. Fine with that. Just like the lefty piece of shit that got banned a while ago.
Break the laws get shit on. Good stuff.

[Orbitus]

They banned him because they have to appease the large SJW user base of Twitter.

No, they banned him because he is a racist saying racist things.

There are other social platforms that promote bullshit this guy wants. Platforms that are basically just like Twitter, so it isn't a monopoly. Twitter just has more users than the places that cater to the alt-right. And yes, they can ban him for anything and everything. Including his shit opinions.

There are other operating systems, but Microsoft is a monopolist, due to your laws.

Aaaaaawwwww.

1. Twitter isn't a monopoly.

2. Even if it was, being a monopoly in itself is not illegal. Becoming a monopoly by violating antitrust laws is illegal, but Twitter has not done that.

3. They didn't censor him for his political beliefs. They banned him for posting blatantly racist shit. If you really feel that a grave injustice has been done, perhaps you could start your own platform dedicated to providing an unfettered voice to all the racist shitheads out there.

It seems like whining about it makes someone a SJW... I do enjoy the irony.

It's not a monopoly, stop whining about freedom and the free markets.

The guy can literally start his own website, and post whatever hateful shit he wants. That company is saying they don't want him screaming racist shit on their property. Should someone be allowed to come to your house, and scream racist shit without your permission?

Sounds like a lot of effort to post shit. I hope his lawyer ain't doing his case pro-bono. Because it's flimsy.



bull shit. Twitter does have one hellva bias when it comes to enforcement of it's rules. You see left leaning posters get away with a lot more than right leaning posters for sure.

Now I do think twitter does have the same problem as youtube. Lots of users and only so many resources. So it does make sense to target the more racist leaning posters. That mostly falls in the right-wing category. Not to say the left ain't racist as fuck. Even if they claim they aren't. Sometime even saying "you can't be racist to whites" lol.

People who say you cannot be racist to whites are morons. They are indoctrinated fools who don't have a clue about life. Of course, so are the people who say that white privilege doesn't exist.

No they are not. I have a laptop with Linux on it, and another with Unix.

Apple would also disagree with you.

There is Linux and Apple OS, to say they are monopolist is hilarious.

[Belize]

Wait, I thought the right was in favor of businesses doing whatever the fuck they wanted.

Only when it negatively affects those they dislike.

[Mifuyne]

Talk shit get hit

[Orbitus]

No, they banned him because he’s a hatefilled idiot, something he has in common with every white nationalist.

Wish I could find some of his tweets to show these people defending him how hatefilled he is. But knowing them, they would cheer for him.

[Mormolyce]

Twitter is a raging dumpster fire of dog shit anyway.

Thanks in part to people like him.

They banned him because they have to appease the large SJW user base of Twitter.

SJW in this instance apparently means anyone who isn't a white supremacist or white supremacist sympathiser.

[Mehrunes]

Twitter is a monopolist.

Right, because there are no other big social media platforms like Facebook.

It provides a communication platform and has no rights to censor people on the political grounds.

It has all the right to do so.

bull shit. Twitter does have one hellva bias when it comes to enforcement of it's rules. You see left leaning posters get away with a lot more than right leaning posters for sure.

Which is why they aren't banning Trump, even though his posts go beyond what's acceptable by Twitter's ToS on weekly basis.

That's a ridiculous bit of conspiracy nonsense.

Countries are already censoring twitter in the open and want it's effects to be widespread. Is there any protection from such attempts?

That isn't any better.

Twitter wasn't shadowbanning,censoring or messin people around when it started.

Twitter users who shit up the service by breaking the rules and getting banned isn't an abuse of Twitter's TOS.

I said maybe they need to be more accountable when they are abusing their ToS. Are you worried it may set a precedent that other websites need to follow perhaps like this one.
A lot of threads in off topic are closed for stupid reasons that aren't breaking any rules.

How are they abusing their own ToS?

Protection against what? Removing objectionable messages that break the law or that break Twitter's TOS is, by the loosest definition of the word, "censorship", but it isn't a bad thing at all.

Never seen any evidence of this "shadowbanning", and nothing Twitter's done thus far has been iffy.

There's been no TOS abuse.

And your nonsense about threads on these forums just goes to show your persecution complex isn't restricted to Twitter.
