19. To understand Twitter’s decision to ban Trump, we must consider how Twitter deals with other heads of state and political leaders, including in Iran, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.
12:24 PM · Dec 12, 2022

quote:

20. In June 2018, Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted, “#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen.”

Twitter neither deleted the tweet nor banned the Ayatollah.

quote:

21. In October 2020, the former Malaysian Prime Minister said it was “a right” for Muslims to “kill millions of French people.”

Twitter deleted his tweet for “glorifying violence,” but he remains on the platform.

Twitter employees are twisting themselves around eight ways to Sunday to get that last strike to ban Trump... just look at the last line in response to Trump announcing he's not going to the inauguration

How many replies until you see the phrase “cherry picked” or “nothing burger”

Why are they hiding the names of the individuals who were advocating for Trump to get banned?

Now this one is interesting.
It’s crazy to me how any of them saw incitement in his tweets. But they seem to sincerely believe it. Thankfully others were brave enough to disagree out loud. Just in the name of truth and logic.

It is surreal how they twist things to satisfy their politics.

“When they became a threat to democracy,” they say.
So creepy and weird that that parrot that talking point. That absurdly exaggerated talking point.

Keywords, "A threat to our Democracy."

They redefine "Democracy," and the GOP adopted this propaganda. Including Kevin McCarthy calling for all J6th people even just those going to the rally-to be banned.

going through these other world leader tweets who openly said to kill people and didn't get banned and comparing them to Trump's tweet is quite damning to the Twitter higher ups

It's been fascinating reading and seeing these people spiral out of control down into this abyss of an echo chamber of Trump hate and drunk on their new found censorship power.

Doubtful anything will come of it but it serves as a stark reminder that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Exactamundo.

"Democracy" has been hijacked and rebranded to be the rigged system that they have inserted in place of our prescribed rule of law and election of our peers as chosen representatives, to one that benefits only them.
