Shocker: Twitter's anti-hate speech policy applies only to conservatives
/Twitter, which has been blocking and banning writers who express conservative views the past couple of months, has no problem with true hate speech, so long as that speech arises from the left.
After a group of Antifa and socialist protesters drove Sen. Cruz out of the high-end restaurant Fiola on Monday night, the account “Smash Racism D.C.” promised future harassment from their members. (RELATED: Antifa Sends Threatening Message To Cruz After Disrupting His Dinner: ‘You Are Not Safe.’)
“You are not safe,” they wrote. “We will find you. We will expose you. We will take from you the peace you have taken from so many others.”
p6. This is a message to Ted Cruz, Bret Kavanaugh, Donald Trump and the rest of the racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic right-wing scum: You are not safe. We will find you. We will expose you. We will take from you the peace you have taken from so many others.

Twitter’s rules prohibit “behavior that crosses the line into abuse, including behavior that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence another user’s voice.”
In fact, Twitter and Facebook have been silencing conservative writers at least since 2016, according to this report from the semi-neutral/lioberal “The Hill”. That effort has intensified since July. Interesting that the left claims that Trump threatens free speech while they’re the ones doing that, on campuses and in the two (plus Google), currently the most powerful social media sites. Coincidence or duplicity — you decide.
