You equating white nationalists to child molesters leads me to think you haven't been very careful with your words.

>"Having put friends of mine, friends of yours who serve in the military today an enormous risk because of the information he stole and then released to foreign powers," Pompeo added.

I would like to see a good rebuttal to this which is not "the end justifies the means".

Don't worry, it's not only you. You only have to read the Twitter feed of the lead developer (@meanmicio) to confirm your suspicions.

It requires a 64-bit CPU, which was introduced with the iPhone 5s.

This is so low and childish that I am sure only Google could do something like this.

I'd go ahead and call this a purge, when a few dozen accounts with a considerable amount of followers have been suspended for no apparent reason. Twitter saying they don't comment on individual accounts being suspended is really pathetic, when there's a more than obvious coordinated effort.

I'm not a fan of the so-called alt right, but this is starting to bother me, because it doesn't look like it's going to end well—where are they going to draw the line? Would they ban people such as Alex Jones? After all, under a strict definition of "hate speech", only a hippie would be innocent. Can I use the Twitter search feature and get the accounts of everybody posting "kill all whiteys" suspended?

Does Jack think there's hope for Twitter if he doesn't fucking leave already? It's in the nature of the platform; users will keep receiving insults and rape threats nonstop anyway. By upsetting users they can only accelerate it.

Sorry if I sound aggressive, but I couldn't ever imagine Twitter doing something like this. It really is something I could only imagine the zuck doing.

Muting words is dumb. It's not really complicated to write n1gger instead of nigger.

Suspending accounts is the dumbest, though—the account of an abuser is likely to be in the block/mute list of hundreds of people. By suspending his account, the user will just create another and continue annoying the very same people that had blocked him already.

I wonder who in Twitter, Inc. uses Twitter at all.

I'm not the GP, and even though I personally really dislike Google too, I'm forced to use Chrome because Firefox fucking sucks.

I think the "Trump supporting CEO" part of the title is largely irrelevant—he was not kicked out because of that, but because he acted like a fucking retard.
