Jack Dorsey(my fellow Bishop Dubourg High School Alum) typically sees associating with those who "incite violence" as the right thing to do as he attended a Q&A with Deray Mckesson of Black Lives Matter, a group notorious for "inciting violence". While never directly killing anyone(Deray Mckesson),The anti-police message associated with Black Lives Matter has caused(incited) their followers to attack and murder innocent officers on numerous occasions within the last month. On July 7th, in Dallas, TX, Micah Johnson killed five officers and injured another nine claiming he "wanted to kill white people" after hearing the message of Black Lives Matter following the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. Of course Black Lives Matter claims to condemn these actions, but does nothing to stop their followers from taking to Twitter to applaud police murders or stop them from encouraging more. Surely Jack Dorsey would step in and ban Black Lives Matter and their members for "inciting violence", right? Nope, they got an emoji.
Jack Dorsey and Deray Mckesson of BLM say they want Twitter to represent, "every voice", ironically. |
Since a B-list actress was protected from mean words, surely a presidential candidate would be protected as well, right? Nope. If you search "Kill Trump" on Twitter, you can find dozens, probably hundreds, of post with people begging for Trump to be killed and for people to step up and assassinate him. These posts have been around for months with new ones coming up everyday, and the shear amount makes the odds that Twitter's staff isn't seeing them very slim. However, if you search Twitter for "Kill Hillary" or "Kill Bernie" you will find nothing, so either Trump's supporters are that much more tame than Hillary's and Bernie's or Twitter is more or less targeting and allowing the targeting of prominent conservative figures. But this comes as no surprise from a company that denies any threat in Islam and is extremely slow to react to radical Islamic posts, such as those promoting ISIS or those simply promoting the most recent terror attacks.
Since Twitter is all about eliminating hate speech and those "inciting violence" it's rather alarming to see the vast amount of ISIS sympathizers and ISIS members themselves posting so frequently on Twitter. What's even more alarming is that critiquing Islam will get your tweet deleted or get your account suspended faster than actually being in ISIS and posting the "violence inciting" material being critiqued. How is it that Twitter's employees miss the accounts of ISIS members sharing details of their acts and displaying warnings for future attacks but immediately know to rush to the aid of Leslie Jones? How does Twitter allow Farrakhan, who's called for the murder of innocent people, to get a platform of speech, but not a gay man who said a movie sucked? Again, it seems there's a clash of priorities.
Despite permanently suspending an account for "inciting violence" by sharing an opinion, Jack Dorsey has made a personal effort to surround himself with those guilty of the same crime but to a much higher degree. Milo Yianoppoulos made a film review critiquing a movie, while Black Lives Matter calls for actions against cops. Milo's supporters wrongly hurt feelings(as Milo agreed) while Black Lives Matter's supporters killed almost a dozen officers in a month's time and wounded many more(which other supporters applauded). Taking Milo down has been one of Twitter's main priorities for a while now, but, for some reason, they've done the bare minimum at stopping ISIS and their supporters from tweeting of their disgusting acts including killing Americans and slaughtering native homosexuals . Twitter has done nothing to stop death threats and and death wishes aimed at Trump, but coincidentally there are no death wishes towards Hillary or Bernie you can find that haven't been removed, suggesting that at the end of the day this is politics. Twitter is a very left platform, with fittingly left views in that they want everyone treated equally unless you disagree with their ideology. Milo's permanent suspension was coming with or without the Leslie Jones conflict. Why? Milo's conservative comments and opinions have made him targeted by Twitter for a while now, because things like disagreeing with Transgender people's choices is "problematic", and saying "feminism is cancer" is "inciting violence" and dangerous. While Twitter is a private company that has the right to do what they please, the reasoning behind Milo's ban is clearly a lie based on the table of people Jack Dorsey associates with and who he allows to remain on Twitter despite having a proven record, with a body count to show, of "inciting violence".

Update: Twitter executives and employees squirmed when Milo asked if they supported free speech at the RNC, and Wikileaks has threatened to start a rival company due to Milo's ban.
