    Twitter is not a government entity and therefor can deny access to anyone they chose. Besides, she clearly lied in her tweet and was not expressing an opinion when she claimed we are in a socialist dictatorship, and that it was safe to work.

    I have no fucking idea who she/he/it is. :shrug:

    EDIT: I took a very quick look at the article and this part is interesting:

    "A spokeswoman for Twitter confirmed to The Hill that Owens's tweet violated the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy"

    So why the fuck hasn't Twitter banned @realDonaldTrump's account?

    Correct on the bakeries refusing to bake a cake. *Note - By attaching "phobia" to "homo" does not make it so. Most people against homosexual "marriage" certainly don't fear homosexuals.

    Correct on the pharmacists as well.

    Correct that Twitter can do as they wish. Interesting though, that their position is "if you disobey government or discourage others to do so, we will silence you!". Or perhaps they're intimidated by an intelligent, beautiful, conservative black woman. Maybe you are as well?

    Anyway, all of these companies may do as they wish.

    Don't know why people bother with Twitter. It's just a place to post which is done better on other social media networks.

    Especially Wordforge. Wordforge is the very best.

    We only allow two kinds of people on Wordforge:
    1) Those who are intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken and generally excellent.
    2) Inferior minds, so we can point at them and laugh.

    If you have any doubts about which category you are in, just ask me and I will tell you. :bergman:

    If you don't fear homosexuals in any way but think their rights should be restricted despite presenting no threat then you are just conceding you're an asshole.

    Also no need for the quotes around marriage, you lost that fight. :)

    I purged my Facebook of all political follows and moved that to Twitter. Also after not engaging with people’s political posts FB stopped pushing them into my feed. I still see some but they are rare.

    Facebook for friends, family and groups; Twitter for politics. That way when I am not in the mood for political shit I don’t have to see it but can still stay in touch with people.

    I believe I've been quite clear. I have no problem with homosexuals getting "married". Same with people who choose to mutilate their bodies in an effort to "become who they really are". If these groups want to live on this Earth in a state of delusion, more power to them. Seriously. Just don't expect others to buy what they're selling.

    ***ETA- I'm an equal opportunity asshole. Does that help?

    Run this by me again, are you saying they banned her for disobeying government or discouraging (encouraging?) others to do so?

    From what I can ascertain she is very much an establishment figure, albeit an outspoken one?

    That's correct. See here: https://www.blackenterprise.com/can...ichigan-residents-to-defy-stay-at-home-order/

    She's a conservative. That's all it takes to get you banned/suspended. But again, they can do as they wish.

    If that was true, Donald Trump would have been gone long ago.

    So that's one hypothesis that was very easily shot down...

    That's a stupid argument.

    Trump is POTUS and it would create a major firestorm if Twitter suspended POTUS.

    Candace Owens is a nobody in comparison. I'm willing to bet the moment Trump stops being POTUS that Twitter would suddenly find any reason to suspend him.

    ^ So, per your own words, being a conservative isn't enough to get one banned. It has to involve some other conditions as well.

    IOW, you just proved the "stupid argument" true. Congratulations.
