The Twitter Rules
We believe that everyone should have the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers. In order to protect the experience and safety of people who use Twitter, there are some limitations on the type of content and behavior that we allow. These limitations are set forth in the Twitter Rules below.
Kawhhhaaaaack. Now that you have cleared all the slime in your system…
Yes, Twatter says that with a straight face and a pure and good “conscience”.
I had a 10 year old account there from which I never posted anything obscene or which could ever be conceived as “threatening”, just rubbing people’s noses in their own doo-doo a la Diogenes, I had it canned in perpetuity by the Twatterazi cultural commissars.
I let it be for 6 months, then decided to dip my toe in the waters again. Pffft. This is what it took to gain a ban again –
I’m glad Orwell is dead because this bullshit would kill him.
The internet, from it’s tortuous Arpanet birth, was conceived, designed and engineered to be free and open. To quote one of the founding fathers –
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.
Nice sentiment. Which the “free” market chose to piss all over. Everything since has been engineering to lasso, muzzle and beat into submission the original concept of citizen freedom. The result? We now live in a thought police gulag. Engineered by Zuckerberg and a new age phag called Jack Dorsey.
My crime above was most likely to use the word “retard”. This is the future these cunts invest in, desire and want – AI algorithms monitoring you. Natural language is now censored. You will speak like a machine or the machine will silence you. This is the future you imbeciles sleepwalked into.

Facebook is even worse. I’ve seen people getting zucked for saying “Dick van Dyke” and “Spic and Span”.
I don’t use FB anymore.

I get it, I hate it, but…Twitter, FB, YouTube, these things aren’t the internet. I don’t like Twitter, I deleted it and speak elsewhere. Same with FB, same with YouTube. Kinda bugs me a little when the free market folks get all up in arms when a company makes a decision they don’t like. That’s your time as a consumer to make your point. Stop consuming. They don’t care if you’re sad on your blog, but start taking away their money and they’ll figure it out. If enough do, they change, if enough don’t, that’s what the consumers apparently want, and they’ll keep on giving it to them.
I fear Twitter’s shenanigans far less than I fear the rest of us are losing sight of what matters.
Welcome back!

Nice to see you blogging again, Franc. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media sites have definitely become more Orwellian over the years. I think the main reason that those social media sites have become Orwellian is because of the people who run those sites trying to control what users can and cannot say on them.
