Now, Twitter.  Pull the plug on the rest of the Trump clan.  I don't give a shit if they broke any rules or not.  Ivanka shouldn't have to hand her phone over to Daddy so he can launch a missive on what "his" patriots to do.

What happens if I register @Joebidenpotus and every other conceivable variation?  Would twitter force me to hand it over to the president?

Give it a try.

 

However, I suspect those names are already locked away.

Not to be that guy, but isn't "permanently suspended" an oxymoron?

As opposed to indefinitely suspended.  Suspended means literally "in suspense".  Twitter probably avoids using words like "banned".

There is talk of "Double-Secret" Suspension.

Every accusation is a confession.  As usual.

This.

The response to accounts being suspended because they call for violent action and murder....is to promise violent action and murder.

We have a real-deal terrorist movement here, folks.  And here's the dirty little secret -- we've had it for years.  This is just when it finally comes to fruition.  It was ALWAYS going to end this way.

I would suggest that using ANY media to speak ill of the lovely Markie Post should also result in a banning.
She's quite foxy for 70.

I believe they ban any other accounts. Plus and more importantly, he loses all his followers. They would all have to find the new account and follow it. Twitter would just ban that one when they found it. It's like a Surly timeout. Don't start another account or your facing a bigger ban. 

Isn't the official POTUS account still up?  Does he ever use that one anymore?

Twitter already is handing that off to Biden on the 20th. He could use it but I bet they'd suspend it as well.

For anyone crying censorship or bemoaning this suspension of Twitter privileges - I'm looking at you Ed Snowden - the fact that yelling "FIRE!!" in a crowded theater is not free speech also means that setting a crowded theater ablaze yourself does not guarantee free speech either.

I assume he means remove the app from the store.

Wrong. It doesn’t work anymore on my iPhone. I have no problem banning Trump from Twitter. Disabling a whole app that was an alternative to Twitter is bullshit move by Apple

The app was literally being used to coordinate and disseminate plans to violently attack the capital, the inauguration, and numerous elected officials.  No hyperbole, that's exactly what numerous Parler posters were doing.  It's not a bullshit move.  It's what any entity with even a FAKE conscience would do.

Want to solve that?  Don't hang out with a bunch of fucking psychopaths who call for a mass attack on the inauguration and the murder of the president elect and numerous other officials.  It's SUPER easy.  See, even a piss-poor site like Surly can pull it off - just have a simple policy of "hey, don't call for violence murder, okay?" and follow it, and you too can be on a board where you can say crude funny or unfunny shit, look at pictures your mom wouldn't approve of, etc.  So easy, even a caveman can do it!

I'm sure they wont ban the apps that arent CURRENTLTY BEING USED TO PLAN AN ATTACK ON DC ON 1/20.

I wish they would have let Parler alone. I'm sure it makes it a lot easier for the FBI when those morons have an open network like that.

Of all the shit that could be done like impeachment, 25th amm, banning McDonalds, closing Mar a lago, outlawing fake tans, etc. this by far would piss him off more than anything.  It’s fantastic.

I think disabling the app is a dangerous move and is like throwing gas on a fire. It’s going to amp up the persecution complex of his followers and does nothing to cool things down. Parler their own terms of service against incitement of violence. It’s a bad look and it will piss off your regular joe conservative. It’s too broad of a net being cast

If the Apple store doesn't leave up the app where people are planning violence the people on the app might plan violence!

No it isn’t.

Parler violates the App Store’s TOS. Apple can refuse any app they wish.

Well, they could send letters via the United States Postal Service....oh.

Now, will they suspend the @potus account to keep him from hijacking it for the time being?
 


Give it to Biden early. Profit.
