#2Why is Twitter always last to do the right thing? It’s almost like being a publicly traded company robbed them of their last shred of humanity.

It's their CEO's personality to do things slowly.

because it is totally irrelevant to shareholder lockups

#5Anyone know what videos or tweets were 'abusive'? Twitter didn't say which ones they were.
Twitter needs to be more transparent about this stuff. Especially when banning one of the most influential conspiracy theorist in the world.
Not to mention a vague and/or arbitrary banning policy is always a bad idea.

#6If Twitter wants to ban him, then they can ban him. I honestly don’t know how he gained so much publicity as a conspiracy theorist, but he sounds like someone who’s drive is to continuously poke the sleeping bear and bother people for the sake of being an asshole. Abusive behavior was his business model.

#7Here's where I'd make the informative comment about how that Rubio video is heavily edited and post a link to the full video, but that wouldn't be effective because I'm shadow banned on here. Ah censorship. Nope nothing wrong here. Move along.

"do the right thing" is difficult when you are suppressing free speech on a platform that's supposed to be all about it.

#9Does anyone still actually think that Alex Jones isn't a character or persona being put on by an actor, like Colbert's Colbert Report character? Not that this excuses anything he says or does of course (though apparently what he said here wasn't a big deal at all)... but how anyone can think Jones acts the way he does on-camera after the cameras are turned off and nobody is looking is beyond me. His lawyer essentially admitted as much in court!

Wouldn't drawing attention to bannable offenses be Streisand effect-y?
