Everyone who's not a Wokie Blue Tick should just leave. There are so many other ways to communicate now. I got a 11 hour or so time-out from giving shit to that ass Scott Adams. It was worth it. I should just leave Twatter, it's such a nasty enclave of libturds.

I don't miss Twitter at all but I do miss the access to such a wide variety of information. Do you have a favorite alternative?

I'm spread out all over the place. I use Telegram, I still have a tiny Twatter account because they whacked my old one so it doesn't have many followers (so what's the use?). I use Facebook a little bit, but phasing it out. I like to visit various blogs and sites, and a lot of Substacks. I follow you, bat catitude, Steve Kirsch, Alex Berenson, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Mark Crispin Miller, Celia Farber, and then I'm a huge fan of The Solari Report, OffGuardian, James Kunstler, gosh so many I can't even think of most of them. Oh The Last Vagabond, The Amazing Polly (on Bitchute), COrey's Digs...

I got Twitter, YouTube etc death penalty spring 2020. A glitch let be back on Twitter for 18 hours. Glorious fun. But they discovered their error, and I am back off.

I appeal every few mo.... just to jack with them.

Meanwhile, the NYT piece you linked to reports, "There is currently no evidence of widespread major side effects from the coronavirus vaccines." In the same article where they referenced VAERS. How does this make sense even to the person writing it?

It absolutely doesn't. They don't believe in justice, in this life or the next.

Considering other statements, it's hilarious this is the straw that broke the camel's back. I suspect it's to help link COVID-related dissent to the far-right.

I can't understand why anyone would surprised at this, or any of the other recent bans. Heck, Twitter banned the sitting President of these United States just about one year ago. Since they were willing to do that, it should be obvious that they'd ban anyone for any reason.

As Ron Paul would say -- this is the predictable consequence of allowing an entity to define what is and isn't allowed speech.

I'm actually torn on the "censorship by private entities" question. I believe what they're doing is wrong, but I think it's within their rights as a private entity. Everyone has the right to speak, but nobody has the right to stand on somebody else's soapbox to do so.

Besides,

I totally agree with you, but when you ban people at the behest of government, all that goes out the window. This would be like government hiring private security to break into your house and go through your papers without a warrant, then claiming this doesn't break the Fourth Amendment because it was a private company.

I'm positive there are thousands of emails floating around out there that establish beyond a shadow of a doubt the link between government wishes and people getting banned.

I should note: These companies also aren't doing this in a vacuum. The leaders of these social media companies have been dragged before a congress that has threatened to break them up and chided about 'allowing disinformation'. The underlying threat is clear: Do what we say or else.

The day the GOP heads the committees that investigate collusions between Twitter/Facebook and government. Imagine how many emails are floating around proving that Twitter is doing this on the behalf of elected officials.
