BREAKING: Twitter is taking dramatic action on remaining QAnon accounts for breaking their "Coordinated Harmful Activity" rules, some of whom heavily promoted Wednesday's storming of the Capitol.
Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, 8kun's Ron Watkins banned.
Twitter's statement below:
EDIT: Corrected "bans" to "suspends" because the Tweet itself isn't accurate. But they are suspended.

(7,052 posts)They chose profits over decency. They chose to let this maniac spout his hate for years because it generated revenue. Same with Facebook.

They will, in that process, no doubt espouse a number of their political views, and be heard by millions worldwide.
They'll then leave the building, and face zero legal repercussions for having done so.
Which is the only thing re: speech that is ACTUALLY guaranteed by the 1st Amendment.

(70,512 posts)I know with the naked ape on his way out the door, the power of the office can't be used as pressure.
But, with a Dem house the last 2 years, no harmful legislation would be passed against them that would benefit the moron.
So, what was the fear for 2 years?
Dorsey is just a coward, and even if the value of Twitter fell in half, there'd be no real harm done.
I don't understand how t---- being gone for good was the source of so much new courage.
