Far-right white supremacist militia groups specifically threatened to use force if Georgia's black female Governor candidate won the election. Also, the law enforcement community does recognize such far-right extremists as a legitimate

Didn't mean to. I had assumed all the banned accounts did spread the wrong election date. I'll take your word that most of the accounts in question did not spread the wrong election date. I guess Twitter saw that some were, and as

I guess Twitter took a zero-tolerance stance against voter suppression campaigns, whether the accounts involved are clearly satirical or not. They just flat out don't want people using their platform to spread the wrong election date,

Twitter decided trying to get people to not vote by spreading the wrong election date crosses the line. There's not much satire in spreading the wrong election date. I don't think it's ridiculous at all.

I guess Twitter found the potential negatives of allowing voter suppression campaigns on their platform (no matter how ineffectual you think they are) are greater than the benefits of allowing people to carry them out 'because free spe

Spreading the wrong voting day is. The mockery is fine, but I don't see anything ridiculous about Twitter not tolerating voter suppression campaigns on their platform.

In my view, there's a difference between letting people say stupid things, and letting people deliberately say misleading things that are clearly for the purpose of influencing an election (spreading the wrong election date.) I don

What 'side' considers this type of speech anything but batshit crazy? Does thinking calling Hillary Clinton a serial rapist and murderer is absolutely insane make one a biased 'Liberal'?: When I think about all the chil

We're really saying Alex Jones calling politicians serial killers and rapists is comparable to typical mainstream media bias, and is more or less a reasonable thing to say depending on if you're 'Liberal' or 'Conser

I don't think they're setting any precedent here. It's not a new thing for people and businesses to distance themselves from people who say batshit crazy things like this. You cannot talk like this and be surprised when peopl

I refuse to do business with you because you’re gay vs. I am terminating our business relationship because you violated our Acceptable Use Policy that you previously agreed to abide by. I’m not a lawyer, but these sound quite different.

He violated the Acceptable Use Policy he agreed to abide by, so naturally they chose to stop doing business with him. I don't think PayPal was accusing him of breaking any law.

I argue that they already are seen as such. So called white supremacists (emphasis on supremacist) in America spend a curiously small amount of time talking about how Asians are outperforming them on average, which sounds to me antithetical

There certainly does appear to be a white supremacist fixation on black people. I was thinking the other day how odd it is that "white supremacists" (in America ) seem to spend a majority of their time talking about blacks when As
