Sounds like FB and Twitter are conspiring in the market place to deny market share.

It is kinda funny how she was about alt-right figures being unpersoned after Charlottesville.
But now it's *her* free speech being attacked is a problem. |

Democrats for Sharia
y'all been busting on me about that statement but Im telling ya it will happen |

FB killed three of my memes on TG day. One was the "How many squares have a dishwasher in them." I couldn't even get the pics of the other two, they had them so deeply shunned.
What a bunch of wieners. |

Keep buying ammo. These Nazi fucks won’t quit until they force us to make them.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. |

I never had a facebook or twitter account (because they were too newfangled! LOL).

It just puts social media one step closer to .gov regulation.....If leftists were silenced in the same way some 9th circus judge would come to their rescue.
If such shit keeps up "their site, their rules" won't apply. It will be "their site, the .gov's rules" if they want to exist. |

I got a week in Facebook Jail (almost over) for posting a meme about "turn in your guns, get a free tattoo" with death camp survivors showing theirs.
Tell me Facebook doesn't want to control the discussion. |

In before the "but, but I need twitter and fakebook to see what my high school friends that I haven't seen in 30 years are doing" apologists.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent; I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. |

Where's the judge's from the 9th circuit at protecting her 1st admendment right?

Loomered. I heard this on a random podcast, vague idea who she is.
Another bloodless attack. This is what the soviets did; they prevented someone from earning a single ruble, eventually without income they locked people up in asylums. |

Quoted: That's the real issue. That's what the left really wants. That opens the doors for some serious shenanigans by the left. As soon as .Gov takes over the next logical step for lefties would be enforcement, "Thought crimes division". But they would make it sound like it was to make sure everyone's 1A rights are protected.

ETA: I still cannot understand the mental gymnastics that the left undertakes to align itself with islam. What part of "these people will kill you" do the purple haired feminists, gays, jews etc not understand? Islam is the IRL manifestation of what they try to project the right as being. |

Quoted:
Progressive run social media sites are already banning people for thought crimes View Quote I infer when .Gov gets involved they are saying the equivalent of "just the tip" or "common sense gun control". The solution is to starve those sites by creating competitors and keep .Gov out of it. |

Far-right activist Laura Loomer was permanently banned from Twitter on Wednesday for violating the company's hateful conduct policy in a tweet aimed at a newly elected Democrat politician. Loomer, 25, who describes herself as 'an investigative journalist', had her account shut down after she posted an Islamophobic tweet attacking the Minnesota Rep.-elect Ilhan Omar and her religion. She previously had around 260,000 followers on the social-media platform, which says on its website that it strives for 'a safe place for free expression' and prohibits 'abusive behavior.' Ilhan Omar, the new Democratic Representative-elect from Minnesota's 5th district, is the first woman of colour to ever to represent the state, and the first woman to wear a hijab Omar will be the first Somali-American and one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress Loomer said in a statement that yesterday's permanent ban from Twitter will not be the end of her career and maintained that she did not violate its terms. 'Everything I said is 100 per cent true and factual. It's not malicious, it's not mean, it's not hateful,' she said. 'My haters are celebrating today, and they are saying this is the end of my career, but I want everyone to know I'm just getting started. 'Everyone who knows me knows I don't back down.' The former editor of the far-right news platform Breitbart Milo Yiannopoulos, who was himself banned from Twitter two years ago, said Loomer's removal from the website was 'political warfare.' 'She was banned for criticizing an elected politician,' he said on Facebook. She was elected during this month's midterms in which Democrats took back control of the House of Representatives. Omar is also the first ever Somalian-American legislator to be elected. She and her family were forced to emigrate during the Somalian civil war in the 1990s. Though critical of some of the Israeli government's actions, she has previously said that the 'anti-Jewish' accusations levelled at her, like the one made by Loomer, 'are rooted in bigotry toward a belief about what Muslims are stereotyped to believe.' She opposes a boycott of Israel and supports a two-state solution, saying 'it is going to be important for us to recognize Israel's place in the Middle East and the Jewish people's rightful place within that region.' Loomer's account had been previously suspended by Twitter for the duration of the midterm elections earlier this month, which she called 'election meddling', but was reinstated after six days. More |

I think Laura Loomer has some kind of mental illness. Not from this incident where she clearly did nothing wrong, but things she's done in the past, like claiming her tires that were deflated from wear were slashed, and having a weird obsession with Alt Right types romantically despite being Jewish.

Amazing how FB will ban pics of nipples and Conservative views but pics of big hard throbbing dicks are fine! Reported an ad for male enhancement once with a real dick picture and they responded the ad was fine.

Quoted: I'm sure you're not a hypocrite and take an equally firm stance when your favorite platform bans someone for their unpopular opinion. Right?
