House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Accuses Twitter Of Censorship

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is being mocked by the mainstream media for pointing out one of the many ways Twitter is censorsing rightwing content:

“House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was mocked on social media for a misleading tweet complaining that Twitter was censoring conservative voices.

Twitter has been criticized by several conservative figures who say the site is “shadow banning” right-leaning voices.

McCarthy, attempting to tweet an example of such censorship, shared a screenshot of a tweet from Fox News host Laura Ingraham that was covered by a warning of “potentially sensitive content.” …”

He has been hammering away at the issue:

Social media censorship threatens our ability to have important conversations. When only one side is doing the talking, you don’t call it a dialogue. You call it a lecture. #StopTheBias https://t.co/2zRG9LNjh8

It’s impossible to ignore the fact that only one party is being slammed by censorship, over and over again. Twitter singling out conservatives like @ElizabethHeng is appalling. #StopTheBias https://t.co/1GqLCvkq0i

The American people deseve to learn more about the filtering and censorship practices on Twitter. It’s time for @jack to testify before Congress. #StopTheBias https://t.co/OPgMm2HCPm

Another day, another example of conservatives being censored on social media. @jack easy fix: explain to Congress what is going on. #StopTheBias cc @IngrahamAngle pic.twitter.com/QjzpmfadXS

McCarthy is absolutely right.

As with the quality filter shadow ban and the countless one-sided politically motivated purges, tampering with the default “Privacy and Safety” settings is just one of the many ways Twitter has been rigging the platform since the 2016 election. Joey Gibson’s family is another recent example of Twitter flagging “potentially sensitive content” and leaving it censored by default:

Twitter has decided it intends to foster “healthy conversation” which essentially means putting the ADL in charge of censoring the platform. What does that mean for the MAGA movement?

Hello, if you are viewing this profile for the first time. I mostly tweet about issues related to extremism, terrorism, hate, & civil rights. I may occasionally attempt snark or humor; it helps me stay grounded while dealing w/dark subjects. I try to be a decent person. Welcome.

This is what @MSNBC gave a free platform to.

For the record, the Ku Klux Klan *shot at* people at Charlottesville (https://t.co/XvjzsAuAlM). The left did not.

Anybody who provides an extended on-one-on interview to a national audience has lost the fight before it has even started. It doesn’t matter if you thought Melber debunked & discredited him; harm is still done. That’s why you don’t air one-on-one interviews with extremists.

Even if they are prepared, they should not air one-on-one interviews with extremists. Interview them all you want, but only air parts of an interview as part of a complete story on some issue, complete w/context, facts, and debunking. Don’t enable them by giving them a platform.

Chinese Communists?

Mark Pitcavage, Senior Research Fellow at the ADL’s Center on Extremism, recently said on Twitter that MSNBC shouldn’t be giving a platform to Steve Bannon. The Alt-Lite has been trying to ignore the Jewish Question while the ADL has been purging them from social media.

Is President Trump going to allow the ADL to get away with purging his own supporters from social media? It doesn’t look like it. Big Jew and MAGA are about to collide over Big Tech.
