Twitter Perma bans Zero Hedge

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20342]

Good.  Those fuckers have been stirring shit up based on nothing at all for years now.

And yet certain members of the "conservative" cabal will continue to link stories to this site which is well-known for spreading far-right conspiracies.

Good site to visit for Perma-Bears and Black Swans. I am sure they were right on occasion.

They were all over the map. I've always assumed it was Putin-run on the sly, because it's prime editorial directives seemed to be sow chaos and paranoia. A slicker Alex Jones.

I’m not sure I follow the stated reason for the ban. Maybe there’s more history to their twitter behavior that wasn’t in the article?

[DCA_HORN 725]

Is it possible they didn't agree with something?

[Incredulity 11532]

Or maybe, and I am just spitballing here, it could be that “blood sells”.

Not a lot of demand for the “Everything is Awesome, Nothing to Worry About” blog.

I'd never heard of them until DSA started linking all sorts of bullshit from them in defense of Russia invading Ukraine on the other site.

Everything in that link starting with the "?" is superfluous and unnecessary.

Zerohedge was banned for doxxing someone with reported knowledge of the Coronavirus in China (said the scientist may have weaponized the virus).

The world is going through mini-waves of panic right now. If hits twitter, that could escalate. They will just get in to the twitter media stream in other ways, but no reason to take it easy on them. Doxxing gets you booted from twitter (exclusions apply).

Good. Everything should be banned from twitter except for tweets that mock DotARd and Stephen Smith.
