Like has been discussed. They're a private company and can make whatever editorial decision they want.

It just might suck for them if it affects their designation by Congress, and their protection from lawsuits.

I agree. That’s why I want to know the real why. It’s not for the reason they gave because it’s obviously not their standard. They have to know this is jeopardizing their protection from future lawsuits. So what is the real reason?

They may not have known it could change their designation.

They may have known and thought no one would call them on it.

There may be underlying things that would be worse for them than the lawsuits.

Imagine if all of the social media platforms existed just to spy on you. Wait... We all know they do. What if they existed to spy on you for deeper reasons than harvesting and selling your most personal data?

The FBI identified QAnon as a potential domestic terror threat.

Have you read the memo? That headline is a complete misrepresentation of what was in the memo. Nowhere in the memo is QAnon listed as a domestic terror threat.

Since this reporting, the FBI actually commented on this and said that it is not the FBI's policy to designate anyone or anything as domestic threats via internal memos from singular field offices like Phoenix.

Twitter BANS 7,000 QAnon accounts and limits ability of 150,000 others as it cracks down on online harassment campaigns from the far-right group

Twitter announced Tuesday it would permanently suspend accounts that violate its policies while tweeting about QAnon, as it pushes through harsh measures to limit the spread of content about the conspiracy theory.

The company said it is acting following problems with misinformation and harassment from the fringe group that claims 'deep-state' traitors are plotting against President Donald Trump.

However, the new policies on account suspension are expected to impact about 150,000 QAnon accounts globally, they added.

The company said it was acting now because of rising harm associated with the conspiracy theory.

QAnon is known for advocating a far-right conspiracy theory alleging a secret, 'deep state' plot against President Trump and his supporters.

It alleges that Trump is leading a secret war against the so-called Deep State which includes many political, business and Hollywood elites.

It pushes the theory that the elites worship Satan, abuse and murder children, and engage in cannibalism.

It has caused its followers to trawl through pictures celebrities post online to claim they show proof they are eating children and then mount a harassment campaign against them.

Among those often targeted is TV personality Chrissy Tegan who has been the victim of a type of campaign known as 'swarming' or 'brigading' that Twitter is now banning.

Twitter removes, bans and suspends thousands of accounts associated with QAnon conspiracy theory group

As I've stated previously, this thread needs to be deleted. Permanently.

I'm on record saying I do not subscribe to the Q awakening theory, but I have discovered some surprising factual things in viewing twitter from some of the Q posters.
Mainly I like my freedom to view it, while I still have it, and to use my own mind on today's crazy world.
Only communist countries control what the people can view, read, and how they should think.

Horrifying to be sure, but what does this have to do with politics?

I've wondered if the Q movement didn't hijack a universally despised circumstance like pedophilia as a fallback to counter criticism of its oddly specific agenda. It's quite a leap to tie the trump loving culture to much of anything past Bud Light and trailer parks, so I suppose that the "deep state" (whatever that is) and pedophilia were natural bastions of mystery and appall.

Who said QAnon is about politics?

But a business can do what it wants just like the founding fathers envisioned. Twitter is a massive capitalistic company but you want to call America Communist because Twitter blocked the Q cult. SMH.

No Mick, I did not call America Communist, how could you even think that from my post. I merely said what communist countries do.
And, yes Twitter has the right to block anyone. I would just like to think that they would block everyone equally. They allow a lot more worse to be posted, just like Facebook.
I'm not a Q guy, but really do not see how it is causing a danger to anyone.
Do you have issues with anything else on Twitter besides Q?

Which other "cults" have they banned mick?

You doubters know why they banned this. It should be starting to open your eyes.

Mick, I don't disagree, but they advertise as:

"Twitter is, what’s happening in the world and what people are talking about right now."

"We advocate for free expression and protecting the health of the public conversation around the world."

"Elections Integrity - We’re focused on serving the public conversation."

There have been instances of obvious bias. Joe Rogan has even addressed it on his podcast. But, as you stated, Twitter is well within its rights to censor as it sees fit.
