Finally, Twitter is growing up and moving past its cowardly, childish "free speech" dogma. It's taken them way too long to get here though.

...except the people that want to hurt the president elect, call for all white men to be killed, and rape the president elect's wife. I've seen all of this and more on Twitter and these accounts have not been touched. It's childish for Twitter to use its power to silence political opponents. Some of these alt-right accounts deserved to get banned. Others were just people expressing their political beliefs and not directly attack anyone. This election has really opened my eyes to the amount of childish, immature, and mentally unstable people we have in the United States.

  You've continued to create multiple accounts to post primarily political and ideological rants. This is an abuse of the site, so we've banned these accounts.

  Where I live a lot of kids have been arrested and imprisoned for that salute. It so strange as an American expat living under a military dictatorship where any improper speech is harshly dealt with to see American slowly but steadily moving in the same direction. What's weird is it's starting with restrictions on speech in the private sector and education. I'm wondering how long before laws and the courts get behind the restrictions.

    Not long friend. Our campuses reflect a growing antipathy toward free speech.[1] Whatever starts there usually ends up in the courts. I've become convinced that the American left is now totally post liberal, in the sense that they consider classical liberalism -- à la John Stuart Mill -- highly offensive. 1.) https://www.thefire.org/spotlight-on-speech-codes-2016/ https://www.thefire.org/spotlight-on-speech-codes-2016/
