    Phone call are person to person. You would need to find equivalents like whatsapp, wechat or even messenger censoring your messages. For mass callings like robocalls and telemarketing there is The Telephone Consumer Protection Act. One can argue how effective they are but it exist.

    Instead of boycott why not just switch to an alternative. Trump has a lot of followers. He can bring them onto another platform and leave twitter. He can Toot on Mastodon. They give you 500 characters instead of 280 so we will see a lot less of the ... from the president's tweets. There is also Gab. They already have a reputation of being right leaning. Instead of breaking up private companies with big government moving to other platforms will use free market forces to take down twitter.

    Neither am I. I would say the same thing if Twitter did it to Obama. Of course the media\Liberals would be screaming how racist America is instead of "Private Company can do whatever they want" nonsense.

    Can you figure out a way to shrink their size of these Ridiculous Macros?

    Not only are they ridiculous, but the Obnoxiously OVERSIZED Font screws up the look of the page.

    Is the RW really that INSECURE?

    That they have to SCREAM with their Ludicrous Copypasta?:bored:

    If you report acts of violence and hatred and they ban you for doing so, would that not be promoting hatred and violence?

    Mitch should sue them and take it all the way to the Supreme Court, he'll win millions.

    If it were reversed and it was Obama, it would be labelled racist and the police would be rounding them all up.

    These days you just switch to another company. Just don't use Twitter. It's like all the conservatives said when the gay couple wanted a wedding cake - just go to another baker. Conservatives won that case in court - welcome to the world of unintended consequences ...

    Exactly.

    If the RW doesn't like Twitter's policies, then they are free to invent their own at any time.

    McConnell DESERVED to have his account banned, Period.

    Democrats used to make blacks drink from a separate fountain.

    No thanks.

    It's already been tried - and failed - with a number of private web-sites. Private web sites have the right to limit the type of speech posted, just like on this one.

    Unless you want to argue that Rachel Maddow can sue Fox News for not allowing her to come on the network, then
    there really isn't a leg to stand on.

    It isn't just that.

    Posting those Ridiculously Oversized Font Macros is used deliberately as a RW Trolling Tactic.
    (And, has been repeatedly used by the RW at PF).

    Obviously, a Rule Change has become necessary.

    Oh, and back on-topic, hopefully Mitch gets Permabanned.

    Republicans refuse to serve gay people. You liked that. You posted a number of threads claiming that the owners of the bake shop had the right to REFUSE to put words on their product. Welcome to the world you wanted.

    This is Moscow Mitch's campaign twitter feed. It was shut down due to profanity contained in the video. They've been told that the account would be unblocked if they remove the video. They could write a paragraph about the incident as long as they include no profanity.

    But, I guess they would have nothing to whine about. Conservatives sure like to play the victim card. Man up.

    Go file a complaint, his posts are just fine and so are his meme's and they are not even close to trolling.

    There is no 'other' than the tech companies that are blatantly biased.

    Sure it is. You just don't like what he posted. Then you claim he is trolling.

    The forum doesn't revovlve around you.

    Mitch should sue Twitter, he'll win. It's blatant disrespect for the rules at Twitter and for free speech.
