Twitter Suspends More Pro-Trump Accounts

Fact checked

It looks like liberal Silicon Valley has picked a side with regards to the upcoming 2020 elections. 

On Monday night Twitter banned a slew of pro-Trump accounts

Conservatives say the move is yet more proof that liberal social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are engaging in censorship in an effort to silence them.

‘Magaphobia’ which was set up by conservative commentator Jack Posobiec to “track violence against Trump supporters” was on of the accounts that was suspended.

RT reports: The @Magaphobia account had defined the word as “an irrational, unfounded fear of Donald Trump or his supporters” or bigotry towards those who voted for him.

The platform also suspended the @AOCPress account created by conservatives to parody freshman Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, despite the fact that it had apparently followed Twitter rules and labeled itself as satire. The man who ran the parody account, Jewish conservative Mike Morrison, who tweets personally at @OfficeofMike, also had his account “permanently suspended,” according to activist Courtney Holland.

In an email to the account owner, Twitter said “you may not register or create fake and misleading accounts,” conservative website Human Events reported.

Conservatives see the move as more proof that liberal social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are engaging in censorship in an effort to silence them. Last week, Facebook permanently banned a number of high-profile conservative voices citing vague policies on hate speech. Twitter has also come under fire in the past for ‘shadowbanning’ top Republican figures and making their profiles harder to find.

The latest bans even prompted outrage from former New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani, who tweeted out a link calling it the latest in “Big Tech Election Interference.”

  1. Trump will still win in 2020 and the Dems have already admitted defeat in their actions. Captain Jack will influence squat.

  2. The past 5-7 years has seen this happening more, and more, and more. Their goal is total control and censorship. Always an agenda. The only hope is the internet will be forced back to its former ways of small, self-regulated communities and people will learn to never use uniform social media again. At least not Western-run companies. Perhaps some small Chinese companies will come in and create MySpace-type alternatives where nobody gives a damn. Children and snowflakes need to stay the hell off the internet if they’re not old enough to handle it. They weren’t on much at all before they were make so damn important.

    It would be nice to see an Eastern-operated YouTube. No way Western companies can be trusted. They start small, b’l0w up, have a golden age, and then fall hard. No one wants to play the come and go game anymore. It is exhausting, depressing and deflating. It is human nature to grow and settle with what you love, not work around it and constantly contemplate moving and seeking alternatives. That game is a Modern illness. Sickness.
