Twitter allows threats and bullying when it comes from the left. They refused to ban the freaking jihadists. They have SJWs posting #killallmen, #KillAllWhiteMen #maletears in droves. Nothing ever happens to them. This move is simply political censorship.
Speaking of male tears...
Doesn't Twitter allow actual terrorists to post? https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/...
Although Twitter obviously has the right to do this, legally, I don't think it is good. Twitter is esentially a public infrastructure for real-time communication. We have public officials from countries all over the world that use Twitter to communicate to their citizens.

I'm not sure why the above is down-voted. There's a litany of evidence to suggest that this is actually true.
Why does the alt-right have issues with them being banned from systems, but don't see issues with themselves banning others from systems. For example, Twitter bans them from using Twitter, but the /r/The_Donald echo chamber bans anyone with a counter view to their own. If you want freedom to speak on certain platforms, you need to provide the same rights to everyone.
Twitter is not a community, it's a website akin to Reddit which contains communities.
Can we get the same for black racists? https://i.redd.it/gmlvmb6w9owx.png https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Stop+White+People%22&src=tre...

> They actually are racist and nasty people and we shouldn't group them together with other conservative/right/trump voters. This sounds like stereotyping to me.
