    I view politicians as the lowest level of humanity.

    Good, so we agree it's no problem for a private company to ban them.

    if this is the case, why does it matter to you if greene is banned or not??

    twitter is a privately owned company...

    if green really wanted to create change then she should be lobbying to make twitter a public utility

    or she should create her own platform to compete with trwitter

    trump tried it and it only lasted a few months and I dont think it was around long enough to be named

    I am sure green can post on PARLOR or GAB

    she is not censored

    Politicians lie.
    They also get the same warnings everyone else gets before action is taken against their break the rules account.

    Why are people applauding because they haven't vacated?

    She really is a piece of work. People like this used to be a sick joke. Now they lead the republican party - the party of thugs.

    Some customers aren't worth having. They aren't willing to kill people for a buck. I guess you value profit above all else.

    They know that eventually they will be sued for the deaths of people who read tweets and believed the anti-science liars. They know that eventually they will be held accountable as accomplices to murder, as will all social media sites that allow this.

    Regarding Twitter. Politicians should just say no to this vulgar form of communication intended for use by the great unwashed.

    Rather than an ad hominem attack perhaps you can provide an actual argument as to why she is wrong. Then again, perhaps not.

    Maybe they just don’t want to be used as a medium for misinformation that could get people killed.

    This is pretty intellectually lazy. The same policy applies to all, politicians or not. That said, when politicians spread misinformation, it is more likely to go noticed.

    There's no science that supports your claims.

    Calling something a fact doesn't make it so.

    Yet folks can call for 'death to America' and not be banned. This tells most people something...

    I have never seen you condemn the left for anything, no matter how outrageous.

    She did do something wrong. We don't have to be in Nazi Germany to recognize that someone else is NOT REQUIRED to give us a platform from which to exercise our free speech.

    We all post here and we all abide by the rules these people set FOR THEIR FORUM. Don't like it? Leave. But you don't have the right to tell them what they can and cannot do when they are the HOSTS.

    And, this is the fault of the dimwits that fired her from her committees. She has all the time in the world to be annoying now and it damn well looks like she's going to take advantage of it as often and as loudly and as obnoxiously as she can.

    Why? Has she whipped up a mob and told them to harass anyone's from Biden's cabinet anywhere you find them, in public. And got a 100percent pass on it.

    I'll decide what is misinformation and what is not, thank you. I don't need a chat forum to decide that for me.

    Yes some customers are not worth having. The hyperbole following that does you no favors.

    They are protected from lawsuits over what their posters post by law. I wonder why you think I believe they don't have the right to censor. They do. My problem is with acting as the decider in chief of what is misinformation and which is true. They have missed many times.

    They certainly do. Why are people afraid of their lies. They should expect lies. Much ado about nothing.
