Twitter To Start Monitoring Users “Off-Platform” Starting December 18

Originally Posted at Free Market Shooter; Authored by Jon Hall

As reported by Mashable last week, Twitter is taking new – and intrusive – steps to crack down on hate speech. Twitter announced in an update to their Help Center that they would begin to monitor user’s behavior “on and off the platform” in December. If a user affiliates with any “violent organizations”, their account will be suspended without notice.

To say that Twitter’s wording is vague regarding this is somewhat of an understatement…

You may not affiliate with organizations that… use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes

Going by that logic, why are ISIS-related Twitter accounts allowed to stay active? There is no larger group that relies on violence against innocent people to further their cause yet Twitter does little to combat it. Instead, they will go after people with opinions that do not mirror their leftist ideologies.

Brett MacDonald of DeplorableDigest.com further breaks down and analyzes Twitter’s new policy…

Online cookies will be the tool Twitter uses to track and monitor users off-platform. Any blog, site, or forum that has a “tweet this” button will be able to be used as a window for Twitter to monitor your web usage. Notably, as pointed out by MacDonald, Twitter does not allow you to log into their site if cookies are disabled.

Plainly, this new policy change enacted by Twitter is nothing but a form of thought policing and outright censorship. If you visit a website that Twitter disapproves of, they will then have free-reign to ban you from their platform.

MacDonald also draws a sharp contrast to Twitter one year ago…

Jack Dorsey: “We don’t ban people for expressing their thoughts”
Twitter was “working” to get out of the “censorship game” in 2016.

…to Twitter today.

MacDonald also detailed the members of the Twitter Trust and Safety Council, the team responsible for the new policy change and the ones who will decide what users to suspend for “hateful conduct” starting on December 18th.

The Council consists of:

Big surprise; the council in charge of policing thought and decreeing which opinions are correct is chaired by leftist, liberal organizations. Remember, the ADL listed beloved (and harmless) meme, Pepe the Frog, as a hate symbol… that is truly a testament to how out-of-touch and foolish they are, but no worries – they’ll be fair and ethical in deciding which users are booted off of Twitter!

MacDonald also points out one way to combat this new policy change may be to turn off all personalization and data collection settings for your profile… but it’s doubtful it will have any real effect on protecting yourself. Twitter announced new, frightful measures to encroach and violate your privacy; there’s no way you could simply “turn off” their malicious intentions, it would simply be too easy.

With their rampant and continuous banning of conservatives voices, Twitter has proven they will abuse a slippery slope to their advantage – and to our chagrin

Twitter is not profitable, that’s a fact.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey would do well to keep the user base of his platform happy or he may see the only thing keeping his site alive leave it in droves. Conservatives are the only thing that keep Twitter afloat; without the dissenting voices and opinions of the right, Twitter turns into a lifeless and safe echo chamber of liberals… yet right-wing users are still banned and pushed off the platform. From a business stand-point, it doesn’t make much sense.

Twitter has confirmed they are Orwellian and completely dystopic. If these new policy changes are allowed to go into effect, Twitter will prove they not only don’t want to broadcast conservative opinions – they also don’t want to allow them a platform at all.

SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE?

Ha! Twatter is only playing catch up. I was going to post this a few weeks ago as a stand alone post but life happened again, and again….and again.

Anywho it seems that your smart phones in conjunction with Facebook and Amazon are indeed listening to your conversations. One couple (the video linked below) made it a point to test this theory by talking about buying “cat food” even though they had no cats and would never even mention cat food let alone buying it. Within hours ads for cat food started appearing on their devices.

Now, considering how many feel that Amazon, Facebook, Google etc are quasi-governmental agencies and it is now more or less known that these private businesses are listening in 24/7, what do you think your kind and benevolent government is doing?

I don’t understand the fascination and need people have for twitter in the first place.

Can someone that uses it explain it?

You mean you can’t even wish “disease” upon someone?

So, tweeting … “go suck Diseased Donkey Dick” … is out?

Huh!

Hey Twitter! GO SICK DISEASED DONKEY DICK!!!!

See what I did there?

I don’t.

Glock-N-Load

I don’t either.

Sounds like they will have to close down Trump’s account and anyone who works for the U.S. Government. Trump and the U.S. government carry out drone strikes and spec ops in various African and Middle Eastern countries that are nothing if not acts of violence against civilians and from a logical perspective are clearly acts of terror.

That would be good for Trump since it would help him keep his foot out of his mouth.

Twitter, Google & Facebook are all tools for the deep state and designed as a form of mind control for the rubes.

You could probably include most law enforcement personnel at every level in a broad definition.

And anything other than a broad definition will have an agenda of some kind behind it.

I’ve never used twatter, and with this I never will.

Let’s ask Trump to go somewhere better. Maybe Gab.

Oh, as far as cookies, that’s a piece of cake: use one browser for twatter and a different browser for “forbidden” surfing.

Let Twitter ban my ass, and everyone who thinks like me. Someone will just create a substitute which will do fine until the Jews find a way to take it out as well. It’s cyclical.

I wish that the entirety of Twitter dies in a tragic dumpster fire of their own creation.

The remnants should then be obtained by Facebook, along with the well preserved corpse of MySpace – the combined firm rebranding itself as MyTwitFace* .

Gab.ai may be the next Twitter, hard to say – it needs some work, though.
