Twitter Suspends Every Alt-Right Account
 

It takes a LOT of hate and trolling for Twitter of all places to ban you damn. Interesting that Twitters new tools can allow you to mute conversations with words or word combos you specify like cuck or small conservative cocks.

---

The move comes as Twitter is rolling out a series of actions to curb hate speech and abuse on its platform as criticism has mounted of the company's failure to rein in harassment, racism, sexism and anti-Semitism.

Asked for comment, Twitter pointed NPR to its rules, which "prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies."

Twitter's policy defines hateful conduct pretty broadly as attacks or threats or promotion of violence against people "on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease."

Among examples of behavior that Twitter won't tolerate, the company lists references to mass murder or violence which has primarily targeted or victimized a protected group, actions that incite fear about a protected group and repeated slurs or degrading language.

This week, Twitter is making the biggest expansion yet of the tools available to users to report or avoid seeing offensive and abusive language. The social platform is allowing people to "mute" not just particular accounts, but also words, phrases or conversations.

The SPLC is behind that, op. The Alt Right is making black people accounts by the thousands though. Stay tuned. Should be fun. They are smart. I'd like to see Twitter ban black people by the thousands.

eat the pain op

/Nice meltdown

When you're an organization that has to pretend to be someone you aren't to get your message across , you're in too deep.

No, they are fighting fire with fire. It's that simple.

We live in weird times. Why does anyone care about the Alt-right?

What the fuck is the "alt-right" anyways? When all of the news media and tech giants including Google, Facebook and Twitter are run by ultra-leftists does their label of "alt-right" have any meaning? If Stalin starts calling you "alt-right" is that supposed to insult you or shame you in some way?

Wake up people and read "Propaganda 101" for fucks sake.




.

Richard Spencer, one of the creators of the Alt-Right, coined the term, it was not created by any "ultra leftists" for fucks sake :1orglaugh

Maybe you could Google the origin of the term alt-right instead of making up a fantasy in your head and spewing it out as fact to misinform people of reality? You seem ignorant when opponents of the agenda you support have to tell you about its origins & terminology :2 cents:

You......

To be fair, it was Richard Spencer who coined the term 'alt-right'. But the media have started applying it to people like Alex Jones, who aren't alt-right at all.

nice touch of purple :thumbsup

"Richard Spencer" - funny, I've never heard of the guy until now.

I don't support any agenda except reality - something you are not even remotely familiar with. I'm not "alt-right", I'm not "far-right" or "extreme-right". I'm only somewhere to the right because I oppose the "ultra-left", "far-left", "misguided-left", "retarded-left" and "infantilized-left". I suspect you belong to one or all of the above.

You exist inside of a cocoon crafted by leftists. You are spoon fed bullshit crafted by leftists. You spew the same bullshit crafted by leftists. You may or may not be a leftist by nature but you certainly are a product of theirs by regurgitating their shit. Soros would be proud to count you among his sheep.

Telling me to "Google" something is like a nazi soldier telling a Jew to ask Goebbels about Hitler's plans.

Go get bent with your bullshit. People have had enough of it - and this election is a reflection of that.

^^ righty triggered ^^

Oh well. I lived without aol and myspace. I can count on 2 hands how many tweets I've tweeted.. No loss to me if they commit corporate suicide.

I don't have a Twitter and logon to FB once every 3-4 weeks. Its all a way for big business to track you fuck them all

:1orglaugh Nice reply. Here, how about this one: ^^ lefty triggered ^^.

Awesome, right? :1orglaugh

You're not worth the time. Besides you should be out on the streets with your comrades smashing storefronts and making life miserable for regular people.

Actually it's not. Statistically republicans have the same amount of voter turn out every election. There wasn't more or less this election, there was the same old number of republican voters as usual voting their party ticket. The only reason Trump won is because a fuck ton of Democrats didn't vote at all. The number of votes this election was way low, and it was all from missing D votes - not because the Rs has some uptick in turnout.

:banana
ㅤ

"R" or "D" - those are just more labels for people. Stop treating people as just another tick in a box, or another face to a color, etc.

The fact is maybe many "D", as you say, didn't turn out to vote because they are sick of the "D" party bullshit and yet they've been trained for a lifetime to be reflexively anti-"R".

Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing and is the most likely cause for low voter turnout.

I have to admit that "alt right bingo" graphic covers about 20% of my working vocabulary while posting online and about 80% of my comments/venting as I am driving through any urban center. :)

nice meltdown

So after the failed MSM propaganda offensive from the establishment of demonizing Trump 24/7 they noticed they don't have that control online. So censoring that opposing voice is the next logical step for them. Slap on a label of 'alt-right' to make it complete.

Meanwhile, leftwing extremism is a much bigger threat and actually violent. But they are in a large part orchestrated by the establishment so that's ok.

You say you just heard about Richard Spencer just now....and you talk about other people being in a "cocoon"? Why don't you try to actually know some things before speaking?

and racists on this board are doing what racists everywhere have always done. They call everyone else racist for noticing what they are. Some kind of inadvertent psychological deflection because they're afraid to face what they actually are.

wait, how are you saying this now after going on a tirade of how much you hate 'ultra-leftists' whatever the fuck that is?

You are labeling people just as much as he did. If you want to spout off how 'r and d don't matter' then do the same yourself first at least. You can't have it both ways.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

actually bladewire is a drug dealer, & drops hints about it all over this forum. soon he will be rich & having too good a time to be here, or he will be in jail. either way, his days are numbered.

my bet is on the latter, he ends up in jail. dumbass too dumb to sell drugs.

:1orglaugh

Yah Twitter is huge now so they need to do something

This is a very dangerous path when people's voices and opinions are being suppressed and or removed. We don't have to agree with what people say, but, we all, including them, have the right to express our views and opinions without censorship.

Twitter is now playing the role of Big Brother and should be boycotted. Human expression, right or wrong, should never be suppressed.

why?
These scumbags are not adding anything profitable to the site, only a negative toxic feeling that will drive profitable users and advertisers away.
Why keep the riff raff?

You think Tide laundry detergent or Crystal Light is going to want their logo showing next to "Kill the Ni***rs" banners?
doubt it.
Get rid of the scum users. Delete. delete. delete.

Kicking people off Twitter who only hate minorities, slander them, and threaten them with violence is the same as suspending that same person from school for the same actions, or firing that same person from work for those same actions. Nothing different and it happens everyday to these same racists in work places and school around the country, and rightfully so.

what about ownership? go look in the rules search "hate speech" don't go to twitter if you have an issues with it.

Yes, but it's a slippery slope. If free speech is determined by commercial product placement, we are all in big trouble.

Free speech is more important than the scum that abuse it. I think Twitter and other main programs should "Red Flag" speech they deem abusive, but, not delete or censor it. That way free speech can move forward and Big Brother can not control what is being said.

It's easy to block and pass judgement on highly abusive text, but the problem lies with the gray area. Who decides what is border line abusive or should be deleted? Twitter is a privately owned business, but when it has millions of users, the rules of free speech should apply to all, not just the users that "say only nice things." If we allow Twitter and other sites, to control what we are saying or feeling, that is a much bigger problem than the scum that abuse the system.

I think an application of Red Flagging abusive text, will help control what "people want to read" vs. "what Twitter is allowing you to read."

Either way, it's a slippery slope, but I am against all censorship. Controlling the public's thoughts is a dangerous application. It really is the birth of 1984. We just don't see it yet, because we are in it.

Its not a slippery slope. Dont come to my website and post a bunch of violence-inciting bullshit that is going to bring in garbage users and push good users off in droves. There ya go.
Would investors rather own a profitable sponsor-friendly asset or a dumpster fire no one will touch?
If you're a garbage user why would I want you spreading your garbage on my site and give me no benefit to having you there?

I treat my website like it's my living room. If you think you can walk into my living room, take a shit on my floor, and say its your freedom of speech to do so then you get deleted.
Its easier to just block the creeps than to reason with them, problem solved.
Do that in someone elses living room, not mine.

Fuck! I wish this was the GFY mods motto I'd bring posters here in droves from my other platform adult oriented ID's.

Your rant is a direct attack on private property rights. Twitter is private property .

So much for free speech

Freedom isn't free

The alt-right has their own viewpoint...that's fine. But they're a bunch of assholes and while we shouldn't stifle their speech, it should be ignored -- just like you ignore any other asshole.

I say if they now feel emboldened to come out of the shadows because of Trump's election, then let them speak as loudly as they please. Afford them the opportunity to take their movement where they really want to go with it, and let's watch it get rightfully smacked down.

Bladewire: You titled this thread "Twitter Suspends Every Alt-Right Account". But the actual name of the article is "Twitter Suspends Prominent Alt-Right Accounts"

Kind of an important difference there.

It's not big brother. Twtitter's terms of service "prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies." It is right there in the article linked to by the OP.

Just like using any service: Play by their rules, or get the fuck out.

As long as the liberal hack protesters are on Twitter calling for dead cops, then the alt-right should be able to say whatever they want.

Only Tila Tequila and the Kardashians should be kicked off on account of being useless and irrelevant.

They suspend all hate speech accounts. Why lie and say only right wing accounts suspended?
