Twitter Suspends Account That Helped Ignite Teen MAGA Controversy
Posted on 1/22/19 at 12:22 am

CNN
Russians?
quote:
The account, with the username @2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California. "Teacher & Advocate. Fighting for 2020," its Twitter bio read. Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers
quote:
McDonagh said he found the account suspicious due to its "high follower count, highly polarized and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else's image in the profile photo."
Molly McKew, an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.
Russians?

I will die of laughter if Russians pushed the initial, falsely edited video.

Lots of blue check mark accounts need to be banned over their reaction to this. Wood chippers, doxing teens, punching teens in the face, etc.

So a Leftist Twitter account is suspended and it makes CNN?
Holy shite.
First, there are hundreds, if not thousands of Leftist Twitter accounts, many with blue checks, who called for violence against these kids. They are still active.
Second, Conservative Twitter accounts are banned left and right for far less.
I fricking hate @jack and CNN.

Kathy Griffin should be banned right now
There should be zero tolerance for doxxing or calling for it

@jack is a Leftist, and Leftists do not apply standards equally, ever.
Remember, kids: Commies Aren't People. People have souls and consciences. Commies don't.

More likely to be the dems that admitted to doing the same thing in Alabama.

A lot of people on the Left are to blame over this but it wouldn’t shock me if the Russians initially pulled the trigger on this one.
Twitter/Social Media is ripe for instigators, foreign or domestic, to start shitstorms like this.

I want these kids to hire Hulk Hogan’s Lawyer and sue the ever loving shite out of Twitter, CNN, MSNBC, Kathy Griffin, Allyssa Milano, that movie producer guy with the wood chipper post, Individual news anchors who said things like the kid has a punchable face, the Indian with the drum and whatever fricking activist organization he works for and any other a-hole that used a public platform to ruin the lives of a bunch of boys doing nothing other than dancing along to a drum beat.
I hope every single one of them has to provide every tax return, medical record, sales receipt, email and piece of porn they’ve ever looked at and production discovery of the information is ordered to take place on a Twitter. I hope They sit there while every single solitary person they inadvertently insulted from childhood and the first person who dumped them is deposed on national television while they have to sit there and relive the experience wearing only cotton underwear.
I’d love to see a few other heretofore anonymous Twitter users cherry picked as defendants. Let’s use that information superwarrior that CNN quoted to find some assholes that made some good Nazi Quotes about Sandmann so that their lives could be completely deconstructed and they could face the daily risk of financial ruin for trying to do this to a child who committed the only sin of wearing a hat associated with the President of the United States.
That may be enough. Suspending a fricking Twitter Account is not enough. The best apology is changed behavior.
And in a week when each of these assholes is continuing to defame people they have never even met because Hillary Clinton lost the election, we will realize those apologies are hollow.
No. It is not excusable because orange man bad.

Anybody who pays attention to the insane ramblings of a leftist Twitter account has a skull full of mush.
Posted on 1/22/19 at 6:27 am to the808bass
I would more bet it was prog bots. The kind that the rent a mob place hires.

Nope, exacerbate via bots (paid?)...sure.
Start...nope.
The lunatic fringe know commonly as "the left" imitiated this imho. I can't believe how extreme the Democrats as a whole have become in my lifetime.

The kids have a lawyer. Follow him on Twitter.
He has personally been tweeting to others outside of this one account. Twitter has a LONG way to go as MANY blue checkers were still, as of last night, denying the new video and still calling for violence against the kids and parents. A few pols on the left are still pushing the lie, even though their lawyer is tweeting them.
The lawyer is ROBERT BARNES.
He took on the kid's case for free.
That's how much of a slam dunk this is.

Easy money indeed. They will settle out of court though
Posted on 1/22/19 at 7:23 am to the808bass
I started a thread, but no responses to the question: Can these kids sue Twitter itself for providing a platform for the hate and threats coming from the Left?
Twitter responds by banning some nobody, yet Kathy Griffin, Alyssa Milano, Wheeler Walker have active accounts?

I don't disagree one bit. I think there are forces out there, that find stories like this one and amplify the hell out of it in order to stoke divisions.
Of course it helps when one side is perpetually ready to ignite over the supposed outrage of the moment.
I'm not saying the Left is innocent here. Not in the least bit. Its sickening what they've done.
