Twitter/a.k.a. Liberals vs FREE SPEECH - User Banned

What I've been telling you. Liberalism is fascism.

by the way, these abuses are happening all the time to Conservatives or others with a similar view on something on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
With liberals running things, there is fascism clear as day. And you all think conservatives are the fascists. So fascinating, when every fact of life says the opposite.

Twitter is a shareholder-owned company operating within the free market. They can restrict access to its services in this way if they want. Why do you hate capitalism and the free market, faqs?

Clearly, faqs is an anti-freedom fascist who is against the right of Twitter's owners to operate their own company the way they want.

What would happen to faqs' head if a gay person was banned for trying to spread his evil fascist liberal gay agenda on Twitter, like asking if anyone knew a good baker who makes gay cakes?

Perhaps faqs can tell us what happens to content posted to Conservapedia that the editors do not agree with.

faqs was just arguing last week how a company has the right to do just this sort of thing... when the example benefits a conservative viewpoint.

Major fail for faqs.

I never argue any such thing.....
If something is "specific" to a group than of course they have a right to their own standards, such as a religion, an employee of a company, etc..
If something however is "open to everyone no matter beliefs, etc." then they should operate under basic standards of free speech.

You all are the ones who thus "major fail".

Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good.
You all call Church excommunications as evil when it's entirely standard practice for groups to have their OWN standards such as a business.
Yet here we have actual evil, and you call it no big deal perfectly fine.

Allen, how can we help you get to the hospital today to get assessed? This is very serious.

Bump. Just me is right. Get off the internet and into an ER.

First, they came for the tweets, but I did nothing because I was not a tweeter.

And ldsfaqs, please listen to those who care about you. We may be on opposite sides of the fence politically, but I'd love to see you feeling better. And the ONLY way that is going to happen is if you get yourself the proper medical attention.

Take care of yourself.

There is no such law or standard for a service paid for by others but extended to you by the consent of others.

See my earlier example of Conservapedia.

Your argument is invalid and whiny.
