I'm weaning off Twitter and YT. Good riddance.

Probably more important to destroy these companies, rather than turn your back on them.

All tech companies are engaged in massive manipulation and censorship to an extent greater than what the public knows and understands. They must react swiftly & harshly in order to send a message to other would-be whistle blowers & journalists who wish to expose them.

it's funny...remember as a kid, if your parents said "don't do X" or "don't look at Z" what's the first thing you would go do?
YOU WENT AND DID X AND LOOKED AT Z!
WTG Twat-water. You've just AJ'ed (Alex Jones'ed) PJ (Project Veritas)!
NOW, people will actively seek out their statements on other platforms! As much as the Big Wigs don't wanna admit it, everyone who gets "banned" on one platform or other just martyrs them...the idea has been around much, much longer than your stupid website!

Not banned, they were suspended for 12 hours. They're posting again: https://twitter.com/Project_Veritas

Also, they weren't deplatformed for 'hate speech' (as much as I'm sure many at Twitter would like). Their excuse is more like an overzealous application of anti-doxxing.

When they were writing that rule, I doubt they had investigative journalists and whistleblowers in mind. Maybe they did; it's been a while since the first big leaks (Manning and Snowden).
