Days after Twitter unleashed a purge of so-called "alt-right" accounts, deleting users without explanation, many speculated that this would lead to an angry backlash in which conservative pundits using Twitter would voluntarily leave the struggling social network in protest over Twitter's suddenly rampant, and dubious, censorship.
Overnight, this was confirmed when actor and prominent conservative commentator James Woods tweeted that "Since @Twitter is now in the #censorship business, I will no longer use its service for my constitutional right to free speech. #GoodbyeAll"
He also changed his bio to say
"Twitter has now sadly abdicated its position as a sole beacon of free speech. Voltaire's famous dictum has been quietly buried by these left wing savages."http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-18/backlash-prominent-conservative-james-woods-quits-twitter-censorship-protestThere really needs to be a open wild-west social media outlet...you cannot really call it "conservative" or "alt-right" or any of that because it will get targeted, it has to be a completely open frontier so there can be no doubt free speech is literally free speech. If people threaten others with direct unequivocal violence...so be it, if authorities want to follow up on any of that they can go through normal legal channels.
Nobody has the courage to do it I suppose, risk their capital in such a way...mostly for fear of being persecuted out of existence by the State.
Shame.
