Twitter purges hundreds of thousands of conservatives

Under the guise of many of their followers and following were "bots"

They are especially targeting brown conservatives as the biggest threat

An apparent move by Twitter to purge bots has sparked outrage from some conservative users of the platform, who say that their accounts are being targeted. “Twitter is currently purging the followers on conservative accounts only. I just lost 3000 followers in one minute,” tweeted Candace Owens, director of urban engagement for Turning Point USA, a student organization that promotes free markets and limited government.

What is this? Mao's China?
Why is it that this always happens to conservative pages? Notice how this never happens with people spewing liberal talking points.

The way Twitter targets conservatives is selective enforcement.
I'm sure a ton of these people banned did indeed have a bunch of bots following them.
But the issue is that there are just as many left wingers with bot armies that Twitter leaves alone.

Well, Q has been all over the Twitter purge

Conservative writer Mark Pantano also tweeted that his account had been affected. “Twitter's attack was not just a purge of bot accounts. Proof: My account was locked. No reasonable person can say my account is a bot account.

I wish conservatives would leave twitter

it's beyond confusing that there hasn't been a concerted conservative movement/effort to embrace an alternative platform to twitter due to continued aggressive tactics against all conservative views/opinions on twitter

They couldn't make the Russian thing stick to TRUMP so now they'll try it on all their online opposition. Anybody who doesn't agree with them will be labeled a Russian agent or bot. Leftist are big into censorship, always have been.

Twitter is a private company
If they want to be hypocritical partisan hacks I guess thats their prerogative.

No one should have a problem with this, or even care about it.

All businesses need a tos to accommodate actions in the future to avoid the courts and punitive actions.

This would immediately be called racist, hate speech, etc. and would not work. Unfortunately that is what it has become.

private actors are subject to government. I think this kind of bullshite is actionable either thru antitrust laws or RICO.
It’s systemic and it’s intentional, not to mention harmful to public discourse and the free exchange of ideas.
There’s not an alternative with as much reach to liberal media channels in the social media realm: google, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter May have alternatives. But they are not viable.
frick them. I hope sessions locates his balls and goes after them
