    https://justthenews.com/nation/technology/tom-fitton-suspended-twitter-over-something-twitter-previously-said-did-not Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton has been suspended from Twitter over a tweet containing language that he has repeatedly posted in the past, including months ago when the social media platform determined that the language was not a breach of its rules. Twitter said in September that it received a complaint regarding a tweet posted on Fitton's account that said, "#Hydroxychloroqine is a safe drug," but the social media platform said that it did not find that the post had violated any rules: "We have investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations of the Twitter Rules (https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311) or German law. Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time," Twitter said. But now Twitter has suspended Fitton for tweeting the same message that it previously said did not violate its rules, a message which Fitton has posted repeatedly on the platform. Fitton says that even if he deletes the tweet he would remain locked out of his account for seven days. During a phone call with Just the News, he described it as "disturbing" that a government watchdog organization's leader "would be targeted for abusive censorship like this." Just the News attempted to reach out to Twitter for comment but has not yet received a response. "Without any warning I have been suspended for at least 7 days from Twitter for posting a straight-forward tweet about #Hydroxychloroquine," Fitton wrote in a Monday Instagram post. "I had posted this exact tweet repeatedly (once or twice a week) and, in September, Twitter specifically found that it was not in violation of its rules. Nevertheless, they locked me out my account without warning and told me that even if I took down now the supposedly offending post I would still be locked out for 7 days. I have 'appealed' but we all know that this is not about HCQ, it is about finding a pretext to silence another leading conservative voice," Fitton wrote.

    @lufins-dad said in Reported to FBI: It was a mostly peaceful tour of Capitol Hill. It was! Literally it was. I think the majority of attendees didn't engage in illegal activity. Like BLM, there's the question of how much that matters.

    It might be premature to call Roethlisberger completely washed up, but it's clear that he's no longer an asset for the Steelers. Pfft, that is so dumb. He's still one of the best QB's in the game, and one of the biggest assets to the Steelers. I know he's on the edge of retiring, and would be fine if he did this year as it would align well with my conversion to Viking Land. Tough game last night, was nice to see their valiant effort at a comeback after being down 28-0 in the 1st quarter.

    That’s awesome. Did they film some of Star Wars using a razor? (Maybe that’s Star Trek, can’t remember). I don’t see spaceships, but I see faces EVERYWHERE. (There’s a name for that, but can’t recall it)

    @xenon heard that podcast too. Yes the November elections proved this is not a popular concept for voters.

    TG - that interpretation is exactly right. THere's actually a twitter handle called "Bad 230 Takes" that makes fun of the popular misconceptions on this topic.

    @loki That's my take also. There's something about him that is just very appealing. The reason I asked, I wanted to share his intention to run for NYC mayor in case you hadn't seen it.

    @jolly said in More Trump deplatforming: @aqua-letifer said in More Trump deplatforming: @jolly said in More Trump deplatforming: No, you need to be silenced. Your ideas are racist and dangerous. It's for the good of the country. In the absolute shitload of stuff I read and see from liberals every day, I literally don't know anyone who's saying that. You're grouping everyone not on your side together and speaking for them so you can demonize them. That's exactly how all this will escalate. Excuse me, but how many voices are now banned from Twitter? Parler is now off of the internet, or soon will be. The POTUS, duly elected, cannot post on Twitter, but the Communist Chinese can. Many people's voices besides Trump are now silenced or will be. I don't have to group everyone together, there are plenty of people on the Left who are doing that as fast as they can... I think @Axtremus brought it up earlier about the US government having an official channel of communication. There may be some things that are in the "public good" so that they need to be "owned" by the government. Post office is one example. Not sure if that is still needed now, but back when, it was necessary. Maybe there should be a government communication channel like Twitter. If you do rely on a third party and have no real "contract" with them, then you cannot expect to keep control over that third party

    @doctor-phibes said in I’m thinking of starting a conspiracy theory - who’s in?: This is a clandestine plot by radicalized moderates who are secretly attempting to undermine both left and right in a bid to violently seize power by a group known as THE SILENT MAJORITY! I can't say too much more. Works for me.

    I have read @Klaus mentioning Haskell a few times in the past, and has been meaning to check it out. This puzzle is just the thing that finally got me to do. These days my primary computer programming language seems to be “go” (or “golang”), mostly because I found it quite convenient for dealing with web APIs.
