FOR VOICING POLITICALLY INCONVENIENT “HATE FACTS?” …
In response to inquiries, we are sad to inform you that Factual Harassment’s Twitter account is still suspended.
For those of you new to our blog, we shared the story of Twitter’s unwarranted suspension on two previous occasions:
3/29/19 — FH’S TWITTER ACCOUNT STILL SUSPENDED
3/20/19 — TWITTER SUSPENDS FACTUAL HARASSMENT
Our Twitter account has been suspended now for two months … with no indication of when the suspension will be lifted … with no specific example of the tweet that supposedly violated Twitter rules … and with no indication of how to un-suspend our account.
Twitter has essentially banned our conservative voice indefinitely.
This is a blatant violation of our first amendment rights and politically biased censorship by a private company allegedly offering a public platform for free speech to everyone.
Unfortunately, we are not alone.
As Breitbart reported in a May 9, 2019 article entitled Twitter Is Banning Conservatives for Posting Facts:
Although Congress has focused on Facebook’s alleged censorship in recent weeks, Twitter continues to engage in mass bans of conservatives with little outside scrutiny. Increasingly, these bans come after users post “hate facts” — statements that are factually true, but politically inconvenient for progressives.
In that same article, Breitbart records various examples of conservatives being banned from the Twitter platform after factually critiquing progressive arguments — the essence of what we do in our Factual Harassment blog.
Breitbart also recalls how in January 2019:
Twitter employees were caught on camera boasting about discriminating against pro-Trump, conservative accounts. One employee discussed shadowbanning political accounts, a practice that Twitter has continually denied using, while another claimed that accounts that expressed an interest in “god, guns, and America” were likely to be flagged as “bots.” Another employee, Mo Norai, explained that Twitter moderators regularly discriminated against accounts deemed to be pro-Trump.
It’s no wonder then that Factual Harassment has been banned from the Twitter platform. Like other regrettable examples highlighted by Breitbart, our mission is to battle progressives in a public forum via respectful debate, armed with facts and a conservative viewpoint. For that, Twitter labels what we say as “hate facts” to justify censorship.
Here are just a few examples of FH blog postings whose links were tweeted in conversations with progressives that Twitter probably labeled as “hate facts” …
A REPUBLICAN-SOCIALIST PROPOSAL ADDRESSING INCOME INEQUALITY
EXTREMISM MOTIVATES AND PERPETUATES HATE
In an attempt to right this wrong, we wrote to one of our congressional representatives, Senator Martha McSally. Her prompt and cordial reply is posted below.
We will continue lobbying Republican lawmakers to address social media political bias and censorship and we agree wholeheartedly with Breitbart’s advice to them:
If Republican lawmakers want to make an example of a company over political bias and censorship, it’s hard to think of a more clear-cut case than Twitter.
Thank you to our followers for your loyal support and please join us in asking Congress to enact legislation that will protect our conservative voices.
