The more pernicious acts of Twitter is the shadow banning of conservatives. And, yes, it is a real thing. Despite what Jack Dorsey claims.

Twitter shadow bands people who post racist and anti-whatever material in violation of its Terms of Service. That many conservatives complain about being banned under this rule is rather telling, no?

That's what Twitter (Dorsey) says. Reality is much different.
If this were the criteria, Farrakhan would be banned.

They have "their" rules. And, they are pretty opaque.

Chuck Ross, a reporter at The Daily Caller, was recently suspended from Twitter after making a "learn to code" meta joke—an incident that calls into question the company's earlier claims regarding the problematic quip.

A few weeks ago, The Wrap's Jon Levine reported that a "person in the know" had told him tweeting "learn to code" at a laid-off journalist would be considered a violation of the platform's terms of service, and could result in a ban. Twitter swiftly clarified that the phrase "learn to code" itself would not be considered harassment unless directed at specific individuals as part of a targeted campaign. The company routinely takes action against such kinds of communication, whether or not they are insinuations that coding experience is a better path to financial stability than journalism.

"Twitter is responding to a targeted harassment campaign against specific individuals—a policy that's long been against the Twitter Rules," a spokesperson told me.

On Sunday afternoon, Ross sent a "learn to code" tweet that should not have been considered harassment under the above definition. The tweet is screenshotted here. A writer for State Scoop had quoted former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, as saying that a 34-year-old geologist who works for ExxonMobil should "be sharpening their other skills." Ross quote-tweeted the statement, adding "learn to code." This was clearly a joke directed at the theoretical geologist, not the State Scoop writer.

Nevertheless, Ross was suspended by Twitter around 10:00 p.m., shortly after President Trump had retweeted one of his articles.

Whenever there are rules, there are going to be judgment calls whether something violates the rules or not, and often a line to wait in while those judgment calls are made. I really don’t see the Chuck Ross case as something to get worked up about.

Because then they would have to ban Trump.

This was my favorite on the cow site:

(To be read in Law & Order SVU intro voice)

"In the civil justice system, insults by cows are considered especially heinous. On Twitter, the dedicated public servants who refuse to endure these vicious calumnies are part of an elite squad known as the @GOP. These are their stories."

Followed by a pic of Chris Meloni with a cow.

I thought deregulation was the answer to everything? Should we just allow those conservative whiz kid innovators to come up with their own platform to run the “liberal” sm sites out of business?

Why shouldn't LibNuts be held accountable?

He isn't going to win these suits. It will result much like the fabled "Nunes Letters" which exposed Nunes as a total liar and manipulator of facts.

So you're not against lawsuits if you're the ones suing. Got it.

why don't conservatives come up with their own Twitter?

Why don't corporations (and such!) put their political cards on the table from the get go?

Sneaky, Sneaky, Huh? Get people "hooked", THEN come out of the closet with your vile hatred for conservatives.

Conservatives need to learn how to play that game!

And it became so polluted with toxic hate speech from conservatives that its web host stopped providing services to it. Conservatives ruin everhthing.
