quote:

@realdonaldtrump is bringing out the worst of Twitter — the company, the platform, and its users. He’s using his manipulation skills and your platform to bully others, and to incite supporters to harass people — both on Twitter and in real life.


quote:

He tweeted an attack on award-winning actor Meryl Streep for speaking out against his regressive social policies. He blamed a local union leader, Chuck Jones, for the loss of American jobs. Even more distressingly, Trump used his Twitter account to start an attack on an 18-year-old girl, who hid and later said, “I think the worst day was when someone said my address and they said they were coming and they were going to rape me.”


quote:

Trump is also using Twitter to avoid accountability with the press so he can promote propaganda and lies.


quote:

As the leader of the United States, Trump should know and do better. But he hasn’t, and he won’t. As the leader of Twitter, you, Jack, should by suspending him. No one else can.

Serious question: Does Twitter ban the accounts linked to terrorist recruitment organizations?

Geez. Talk about ironic. It's always do as I say, not as I do.

Just replace "liberal or "progressive" with "Stalinist" and everything they really stand for makes sense.

ETA, not the ideas per se of Stalinism but their tactics, or you could compare them to any other number of extreme political movements. I can assure you if these people had the power there would be real camps and reeducation centers.

No and they allow pedophiles to encourage sex with babies too. It's disgusting.

fricking terrible.

This is America

If you don't like something someone says, put out your viewpoint. It has become a pathology of liberals, excuse me, leftists that opposing views are to be stifled and censored not debated.

Instead of twitter banning him, he should just listen to the people close to him and stop tweeting. What good does it do to surround yourself with "all the best people" if you're not going to listen to them.

That would be kind of awesome though if twitter banned the president.

It's pretty much your only option when most of what you believe in is considered insane by your average American.

Full blown communist censorship. This would be terrible for the future of this country. Just astounded people think this is justified.

this woman needs to move to russia where you still cannot speak your mind. Oh, and talk like that about Putin and see what happens.

The Left is totalitarian at heart. It's Marxism.
