Truth is we’ve been terrible at explaining our decisions in the past. We’re fixing that. We’re going to hold Jones to the same standard we hold to every account, not taking one-off actions to make us feel good in the short term, and adding fuel to new conspiracy theories.

If we succumb and simply react to outside pressure, rather than straightforward principles we enforce (and evolve) impartially regardless of political viewpoints, we become a service that’s constructed by our personal views that can swing in any direction. That’s not us.

Show me one tweet where he did that

He’s done it on his TV shows and radio shows and on other platforms. His use of twitter promotes those things. Twitter should ban him.

Truth is, president or not,
@realDonaldTrump should be banned from Twitter for inciting violence & making menacing threats to anyone who criticizes him, nearly every day. -

Christianity is considered a 'hate group' by the Left, and the Bible ‘hate speech.’ This Leftist fascism must be reigned in before they destroy the United States.

So Jack, genuine question here. If I was responsible for you being sent so much abuse you had to move house 7 times, would you allow my twitter to still exist?
