Still waiting for one of the forum lefties that celebrated Trump's removal from Twitter(yet not the taliban and other monsters) to point out the offending Tweets that were calling for violence and insurrection. Now is your golden chance to show you were correct and not manipulated by your left wing media into yet another hoaxed outrage.

Trump repeatedly violated Twitter's policies:

 

"Time and again, Trump tested the boundaries of what he could say, violating the company’s rules against election misinformation, glorifying violence and falsehoods about COVID-19."   https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2021/01/09/twitter-bans-trump-what-tweet-got-president-banned/6607968002/

 

His continued posts of election denial resulted in the assault on the Capitol.  Following the assault on the Capitol, he continued to post this nonsense in spite of the warnings.

 

To put it in very simple terms:

 

Among the billions of posts by millions of people on Twitter, there were many that could be interpreted as a call for violence.  However Trump's posts actually led to violence, and he continued to post the same inciteful nonsense.  So he got banned.

 

Is that too difficult to understand?

It is not too difficult to understand, it is difficult to understand why you failed to show the offending Tweets and instead relied on media nonsense which completely proved my point about Trump having not broken Twitter's rules and they banned him for political purposes.

 

From your own link.

 

"He then tweeted at 10:44 a.m.: “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

The social media company said Trump's tweet about skipping the inauguration was “further confirmation that the election was not legitimate.” And his message to supporters was “encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts."

 

LOL, so Trump politely stating he will not attend the inauguration was him literally staging a coup! Hilarious how ridiculous the fake news media is and that people still believe the narratives.

 

As we speak Musk is preparing to make public the lead-up to banning Hunter's laptop. We will see first hand how corrupt Twitter was under its far left ownership. This will be a huge day.

So the huge blockbuster reveal is that Twitter took requests from both political parties about disinfo they flagged and acted on them, but maybe acted on more of the Dem requests because most of the people working at twitter are Dems.

 

 

And they suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop which was revealed by political operators two weeks before the election with no ability to authenticate the materials or where they came from. Earth shattering.

 

 

More earth shattering reveals, Twitter stuck to their own policy....????

LOL, posting that Trump was politely saying he was skipping the inauguration shows that you've drunk too much of the Kool-Aide.  Trump wasn't being polite, the man-child was pouting, and making it clear he didn't accept the result of the election.

 

Take a look at Trump's tweets on January 6:  https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/tweets-january-6-2021

 

Note that he condemned Mike Pence while rioters who had chanted "Hang Mike Pence" were in the Capitol.  "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution...".  He also never condemned the rioters, he told them "Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!"

 

The other quote from my source that you omitted was “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"   Then he tweeted that he would skip the inauguration.

 

Hitler never signed an order to exterminate the Jewish people in Europe, the Godfather never directed anyone to put a horse head the the movie producers bed, and Trump never told anyone to storm the Capitol and attempt to overturn a legal election.  Does that make them innocent of the crimes committed on their behalf?  Keep in mind that Hitler, the Godfather and Trump also never condemned the crimes or the people who committed them.

 

As noted, Trump's tweets before January 6 led to the attack on the Capitol, and, after repeated warnings, his tweets made it clear that he would continue the election denial that caused the violent attack.  That's why he was banned from Twitter.  It should have been done much sooner.

Biden, Dems despise Elon Musk now and hope antitrust claims can derail his Twitter takeover
The FTC is reportedly reviewing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, possibly setting up a lengthy investigation of potential anti-trust issues

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-democrats-elon-musk-antitrust-twitter-takeover-liz-peek

 

Its become more obvious now that the democrats, especially Biden fear Musk and anyone with the power to expose them and their attempts on quashing 1A. Twitter is on a quest to maintain 1A and the WH and dems are deeply troubled and outed. They cannot hide anymore, they cannot interfere, censor, quash, ban first amendment free speech on Twitter platform going forward.

 

I remind everyone that Trump used Twitter to his advantage to win an election and now Twitter is being flashed back up to allow people to exercise their first amendment right to free speech. There's a lot to like here, lots of pro's and less, or no democratic controlled cons. Thank you Musk.

 

Twitter censored and banned the Biden laptop story in Oct 2020 and now admit it was the wrong decision and many on the left feared this day would come. (see further comment below)

 

Musk has stated there is more to reveal and plans on a Q&A session.

Musk says 'possible' that Twitter gave preference to leftists during Brazil election

 

Bolsonaro earlier this year hosted Musk at a meeting in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, when he called the U.S. billionaire's takeover of Twitter a "breath of hope" and dubbed him a "legend of liberty".

Everyone is getting worked up over Trump being reinsated on Twitter. He's never going to Tweet again... yet the people continue to panic.

 

The big problem Musk faces is if Google and Apple pull the app. Then it's game over.

Agreed, and they will if the EU sues him. The EU could also sue them for allowing it. Not every country values free speech above hate speech.

He may be referring to Andy Ngo, a rightwing journalist or lunatic or both.

Elon Musk appears to have outsourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists.

All four accounts had been singled out for criticism by Andy Ngo, a far-right writer whose conspiratorial, error-riddled reporting on left-wing protests and social movements fuels the mass delusion that a handful of small antifascist groups are part of an imaginary shadow army called “antifa.” In a public exchange on Twitter on Friday, Musk invited Ngo to report “Antifa accounts” that should be suspended directly to him.

“Andy Ngo’s bizarre vision of ‘antifa’ seems to be the metric used to delete the accounts of journalists and publications, most of which engaged in verifiably good journalism and done so completely above board and TOS observant ways,” Shane Burley, editor of the anthology “¡No Pasarán!: Antifascist Dispatches From a World in Crisis,” observed on Twitter.

Since when has there been an official Antifa account on twitter? There are always a few off shoots that insert that in the name such as these ones from 2020 and I'm sure there will be more to come:

 

Twitter says fake "Antifa" account was run by white supremacists

Twitter has shut down multiple accounts that it says were operated by a white supremacist group posing as liberal groups encouraging violence.

Twitter said the white supremacist group Identity Evropa used one fake account, @Antifa_US, to call for violence in majority white suburbs, in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement. The account's removal was first reported by NBC News.
