I guess this means that tons of left bent users will be abruptly banned next time they twitter mob some MAGA hat wearer and actively engage in targeted harassment, plus incite other people to do so—NOT!

I have not seen any of the lefties that tweet banned. , not that they should be. However if conservatives are banned or limited in any way, the socialist slefties should also be banned or limited. r"Radical hate speaedh" is used by both sides with equal abandon but only criticized on the right. Fair is fair. Block both sides or let both sides speak and take the consequences of there actions vis the put down or other cretiques issued by the opposing side.
The banning of Mr Woods is a lot like facebook banning Diamond and Silk, two black conservative activists .

Observing the events of the internet and its billionaires one cannot resist the possibility we are witnessing The Borg, Clone Wars and the Rise of the Machines all rolled into one. The children are in charge. Hide the car keys!

"We do not shadow ban. You are always able to see the tweets from accounts you follow (although you may have to do more work to find them, like go directly to their profile). And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology." -Twitter

In other words, Twitter says they don't shadow ban - it's just that tweets from people you follow may never appear unless you click directly into their timeline.

This is remarkable from $TWTR
- defines shadowbanning
- says they don't shadowban
- then says that for some accounts you have to go visit them to see their tweets@jack you might need to take the nosering out and clean house http://pic.twitter.com/3sTlkDWM4G

Twitter's own employees admitted to the practice in a January undercover exposé, after investigative journalists with Project Veritas went undercover in San Francisco, Twitter's hometown.

The first clip features a former Twitter software engineer who explains how/why Twitter "shadow bans" certain users:

Abhinav Vadrevu: "One strategy is to shadow ban so you have ultimate control. The idea of a shadow ban is that you ban someone but they don't know they've been banned, because they keep posting but no one sees their content."

"So they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it. I don't know if Twitter does this anymore."

Then there was Olinda Hassan, a Policy Manager for Twitter’s Trust and Safety team explains on December 15th, 2017 at a Twitter holiday party that the development of a system of “down ranking” “shitty people” is in the works:

“Yeah. That’s something we’re working on. It’s something we’re working on. We’re trying to get the shitty people to not show up. It’s a product thing we’re working on right now.”

1st amendment rights are as important as civil rights. Private corps are not allowed to trample on civil rights nor should they be free to trample on the First amendment.

Makes me glad I never had a Facebook acct. and so far have resisted Twitter. Leave Silicon Valely to the millennials, 1/4 of whom still live with mommy, and the conversations should be breathless nothingness. It is ridiculous a corp. thinks they can ban free speech, and obviously the only answer is for them to go bankrupt. Tech will pass them by and they will be replaced.

I don't agree with the prevailing double standard, but I don't think the government should step in. Twitter is a privately-owned enterprise, like a newspaper, isn't it? Do doesn't the owner(s) have the right to decide?

With things like this, sitting House members spouting anti-Semitic venom, and other widespread censor/non-censorship, only a very little force is distinguishing us from Nazi Germany, Mao-ists or Stalinism?

Anybody using these Nazi sites like Twitter, FB and others should be ready for consequences.

It is nauseating what crap they are using for their defense when they ban conservatives.

"Targeted harassment"? The rabid left is fully engaged in it minute by minute.

I would never post anything on these sites. Never.
