To all of those who are saying we’re a bullying mob “shutting down free speech” today, a primer:
1) We literally asked platforms why Alex Jones didn’t break their Terms of Service. Twitter is good for asking questions of companies.
2) We are a Twitter account with 179,000 followers. How many Twitter accounts do you know that can bully a trillion dollar company? Show your work.
3) These platforms have rules that we’re all supposed to follow. Rules that many of them have chosen not to enforce. Today, they just happened to do it all at the same time. That’s their prerogative.
4) Free speech protects you from government, it doesn’t protect your place on someone else’s platform with clear rules. Jones has every right to broadcast from his site or hawk his boner pills on a street corner (with necessary permits).
5) The fastest animal in the world is the cheetah.
*apparently #5 is fake news. Report us to Twitter support immediately.
