Katie Hopkins suspended from Twitter

They have far, far, far, far less power to edit and censor the views that are put forth through them than any media distribution platform known in the history of the human race. Not only that, they've chosen that very hands-off editorial policy as part of their way to grow both contributions and eyeballs exponentially.

This argument is quite literally 180 degrees wrong.

The reason they have such a hands off approach is because they want to be recognised as distributors, not publishers, in case section 230 gets revoked and internet publishers become responsible for the defamation on their sites.

This is the great irony of Trump's war with twitter, where he keeps threatening to kill section 230 so people can't say mean things about him, but if he did, Twitter would have to remove almost every tweet he's ever made.

Just looking to avoid her and discussions of her.

You and every forum, social media site, search engine and ISP.

230 is called the rule that created the internet...no one sensible wants to get rid of it.

Twitter moving towards censoring hate speech and manipulated media should be a sign they feel pretty safe about it despite the President's threats.

Sorry l thought it is a click bait thread for people to do just that. She doesn't seem to have any other use in life.

I may disagree with what you say but I will fight to the death for your right to say it. We stray from this path at our absolute peril.

Agreed. Her account should have been left active. Let her be free to keep putting her foot in it.

She spreads hate. Putting her foot in it is the least thing to worry about.
This idea that free speech should be allowed for anybody to stir unrest is bollocks.
Fuck her.

She’s my most difficult wank

There's plenty on social media like her, she's just one of the more high profile ones out there.

As for your last sentence, I'll have to pass on that, thanks!
