If it means anything to you, Jack Dorsey rather famously tweeted an article from the Center for American Progress calling for a "new American civil war" in which the opposition would be ground into the dust.

2018-08-27 06:32:27 UTC  

Also, tim was one of the big shots at vice at some point right?

2018-08-27 06:32:32 UTC  

Oh this is freaking cool.

2018-08-27 06:32:39 UTC  

By the way, you guys can call me Dusty.

2018-08-27 06:32:40 UTC  

Yeah, he details why he left reasonably frequently.

2018-08-27 06:32:43 UTC  

Everyone I know calls me Dusty.

2018-08-27 06:32:53 UTC  

But he was not just some journo there right?

2018-08-27 06:32:56 UTC  

Basically, he felt they were going too far left and ignoring their core customers.

2018-08-27 06:33:08 UTC  

IIRC he was a founding member.

2018-08-27 06:33:36 UTC  

@Ace K Your digging. Just admit it. Whataboustism isn't much of an answer either.

2018-08-27 06:33:55 UTC  

Can we change the topic?

2018-08-27 06:34:25 UTC  

Damn this got savaged by this woman.

2018-08-27 06:34:27 UTC  

Like damn...

2018-08-27 06:34:33 UTC  

And I'm not saying that Vice is lying, but I am saying that other people found examples of Democrats and leftist voices being censored on Twitter. The article comes off as clickbait by only saying in the title that prominent conservatives are getting censored xD

2018-08-27 06:34:36 UTC  

@Dusty Morgan <- sould be Dusty: is that an actuall steam driven locomotive?

2018-08-27 06:34:48 UTC  

Yes it is Pratel.

2018-08-27 06:35:03 UTC  

I always found the steam driven locomotives to be awesome!

2018-08-27 06:35:27 UTC  

@Ace K and when was this and which Democrats were it?

2018-08-27 06:35:54 UTC  

There's too many examples of conservative activists shadowbanned and censored to list.

2018-08-27 06:35:58 UTC  

Not to mention de-verified.

2018-08-27 06:36:01 UTC  

he was a founding member of Vice News, not Vice as a whole

2018-08-27 06:36:19 UTC  

There's a whole kind of symbol for people Twitter has de-verified.

2018-08-27 06:36:21 UTC  

i remember back in the day when Vice was just a trashy fashion rag

2018-08-27 06:37:08 UTC  

they weren't always political, they used to make hipster fashion trash

2018-08-27 06:37:17 UTC  

@Ace K never heard of any of these people. It's completely disproportionate to sitting congressmen. My point stands.

2018-08-27 06:37:27 UTC  

And let's not forget people like Diamond and Silk.

2018-08-27 06:37:41 UTC  

Or all the de-listing of all the people on Youtube and Twitter on the right.

2018-08-27 06:37:57 UTC  

Again, I'm not saying you can't find someone on the left being censored, but it is disproportionate.

2018-08-27 06:38:39 UTC  

And Tim has mentioned some examples too in his vids, FWIW. (usually with the word "backfiring" as a lot of these people advocate censorship up until they get censored)

2018-08-27 06:38:48 UTC  

I didn't know Vice existed until this politic hailstorm came rolling into American plains.

2018-08-27 06:39:10 UTC  

I sorta did. But I didn't really hear of it much.

2018-08-27 06:39:28 UTC  

I think I saw the vid they had of homemade Pakistani guns, but that was about it.

2018-08-27 06:40:00 UTC  

This poor poor woman.

2018-08-27 06:40:02 UTC  

@Ace K And no one here is going to say it's "right" to censor the left. But the point is that things are rather disproportionate.

2018-08-27 06:40:04 UTC  

I have high doubts it is dispoportionate, but that is just my opinion, and I'll leave it and move on, as I don't want the chat to go off the rails thanks to me xD

2018-08-27 06:40:08 UTC  

Twitter is clearly playing politics.

2018-08-27 06:40:25 UTC  

As is Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr...
