Banning 59-year-old My Pilow CEO Mike Lindell from Twitter today, Twitter’s 44-year-old mega-billionaire CEO Jack Dorsey continued his rampage on the First Amendment, after banning 74-year-old former President Donald Trump Jan. 8. Dorsey claims that, like Trump, Lindell spreads pernicious propaganda that violates Twitter’s “Civil Integrity Policy,” apparently the last word on the Nov. 3, 2020 election.. Dorsey claimed that Lindell, like former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who served as Trump’s personal attorney, of spreading lies about Dominion Voting Machines among other things pertaining to the presidential election. Twitter banned Trump two days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, earning Trump a second impeachment article of “incitement of insurrection.” Dorsey concludes that Trump’s opinion about the 2020 election results presents a clear and present danger to the United States.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) insists that Trump incited an insurrection to charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors, necessary to fashion a new article of impeachment. No matter how much a mess in the Capitol Jan. 6, the angry mob that stormed the Capitol after Trump speech, represented a tiny fraction of the one million-member audience. Capitol lawbreakers that breached the Capitol were estimated at around 200 with another 2,000 more lingering outside the Capitol. Pelosi decided she’d redefine the word “insurrection,” to jam a square peg in a round hole, to make sure what happened was an impeachable offence. Like the last impeachment articles one year ago, Pelosi makes things up as she goes, hoping she can convince more Republican Senators to accept her twisted definition of “insurrection.” Last year, Pelosi claimed Trump “abused power” and “obstructed Congress.”
When you consider that Trump was under an illegal FBI investigation for four years, one year of his campaign and three years of his presidency, Pelosi accused Trump of “abusing power” or “obstructing Congress.” Pelosi and her Democrat friends were the ones that abused their Article 1 authority to impeach Trump last year and once, again, with a new article of impeachment. Where was Pelosi and her colleagues when the Obama administration ordered an illegal spying operation on Trump 2016 campaign and presidency. No, to Pelosi, House Democrats and their friends in the press, only Trump commits impeachable offenses. Violating Trump civil liberties and Constitutional rights was perfectly OK to Pelosi because she despised Trump and would commit any crime to see him hounded out of office. Now U.S. social networks bans My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell because he thinks the election was fixed.
Dorsey, to be consistent, should ban another 75 million Twitter users who voted for Trump, not that all use Twitter. Dorsey thinks that anyone who doesn’t accept that the Nov. 3, 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history should be banned from the social networking platform. Twitter and other social networking platforms are given third-party liability protection under what’s called Section 230. Censoring Twitter users for whatever reason falls into the category of a First Amendment-protected speech, raising concerns about Twitter’s policy. There’s zero evidence that Trump remarks about the election results caused the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and mob scene that Pelosi and House Democrats call an “insurrection.” When Dorsey banned Lindell today, he said the My Pillow CEO used Twitter “for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in the election and other civic processes.”
Dorsey’s arbitrary and capricious rules don’t ban other Twitter members who share the same sentiments as Trump and Lindell about the election. Only high profile Twitter users get the ax, based not on Dorsey’s whim of risk to civil society but or affirming his opinion that 78-year-old President Joe Biden won the election fair and square. With millions of universal mail-in ballots going out to registered voters around the country, it’s difficult to ascertain who certified the ballots, in terms of verifying signatures and addresses. When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) asked for a 10-day Congressional investigation into the Nov. 3, 2020 election results, they were practically run out of the Senate. Both still deal with calls by their Democrat colleagues to resign because they don’t agree with Democrats election officials certifying the results.
Dorsey exposes for all to see the arbitrary manner in which a powerful social media company decides who lives or who dies on his platform. Banning Lindell, who had a small fraction of the following as Trump, exposes for all to see that Twitter and other social network platforms have crossed a dangerous line. When Google, Facebook and Twiiter refused to run a New York Post story about Biden’s family corruption in the Ukraine and China, it showed the extreme to which the Democrat Party has their tentacles into social networks, but, more importantly, into Free Speech. Hearing about Dominion Voting Systems sued Rudy Giuliani and Atty. Sidney Powell $1.3 billion for defamation tells the story about Free Speech suppression. When it comes to social networking companies, they should not enjoy Section 230 third-party liability protections when they censor news and Twitter accounts.
