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

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

Yes it is Pratel.

I always found the steam driven locomotives to be awesome!

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

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

Not to mention de-verified.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

This poor poor woman.

@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.

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

Twitter is clearly playing politics.

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

I'll take that as a "let's change the topic"

@Dusty Morgan That's perfectly tacky. I like it.

technically, none of them are playing politics. They are doing what will best help their bottom line and business. (and this is changing the topic lol) https://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/origin-silicon-valley-dysfunctional-attitude-toward-hate-speech It is a bit of an oldie, but I think it accurately captures why Silicon has such warped attitude towards speech.

This turtle is awesome. My favorite animals of all time!

@pratel Yeah that poor woman. It is perfect for a good laugh.

Yeah, because Trump would be a blatant copy-cat lol

That would be hilarious if it did happen.

It's not going to happen.

I know.

Pence gets more mileage being president himself.

But it would be like... big FU to the left.

Sorry I am still trying to stop saying liberal.

Kinda hard.

If you want a big FU to the liberals, go help get Republicans re-elected in the midterms.
