Right. It only protects the isiah crowell's of the world. Not the milo whatevers.

And it apparently protects the hypocrites of the world too, like Leslie Jones:

TBH, those people sound like fucking losers to me. They should harden the fuck up and stand up for their freedoms in their own countries instead of saying fuck it and trying to establish a compound in South America.

Yea but still saying something that offends somebody and getting banned for it can still be criticized as bullshit

They don't tend to ban people for praising a terrorist attack on their platform, but they do when a blue haired fat girl gets triggered.

Twitter is indeed allowed to set its own code of conduct on its site, but the crux of the argument is that Twitter's standards and TOS is unequally enforced. Now, i'm about as conservative as Cal is liberal or DieHard is insightful, but even I have noticed that Twitter seems to swing the ban-hammer down more quickly on conservative viewpoints - like the one's that Milo represents - than they do on statements and ideas from more left-leaning ideologies. The fact that Leslie Jones can be free to insult white people in her tweets without rebuke while at the same time crying racism when people troll her about her shitty movie seems to be disingenuous.

There is nothing that Milo said that deserved the banhammer. Some of the things his followers said to her? Absolutely they deserved it. This sets a horrible precedent.

I didn't get angry until I saw the last post from the CEO.

I don't particularly find it offensive either... it's stupid, but not offensive... but that's not the point.

The point is that on Twitter, just as is the case on the BrownsBoard, there are limits to the "behavior" that is tolerated. And those limits are determined by the powers that be.

I think freedom of speech covers saying things people might find offensive

Maybe saying "I'm going to kill you tonight" is not ok, but saying "feminism is cancer" is alright

...Also, fuck Twitter's bias. Sick of seeing this shit from them and reddit - shutting down freedom of speech when it goes against their narrative.

...That being said, those that base their life around being anti SJW are just as bad as the actual SJWs

I don't think it's so much that people are basing their lives around specifically targeting SJW's; it's mostly the fact that people are finally taking a stand against the intrusion of the SJW-outrage culture that is currently trying to restrict the freedom of people to speak their minds and to have opinions/views that don't necessarily jive with the SJW narrative. Companies like Twitter and Facebook are quick to swing the ban-hammer down on people like Milo Yiannopoulous for having controversial, yet relatively harmless ideas, while they do nothing to censor or ban those who directly act upon hateful ideologies, such as BLM or Islamists.

That being said, those that base their life around being anti SJW are just as bad as the actual SJWs

Also, fuck Twitter's bias. Sick of seeing this shit from them and reddit - shutting down freedom of speech when it goes against their narrative. But seriously, how the fuck do you ban someone for something that his followers did? Absolutely sick of this shit.
