The "free speech" brigade are out in force in reaction to this. Conveniently forgetting the terms of service Twitter makes you agree to before allowing you an account. Just imagining her having a meltdown and trashing her house in reaction to this puts a smile on my face.

Who the fuck cares?

You really need to evaluate your life if you are excited by someone getting banned from social media.

Well, lots of stories wrap up with the chief antagonist(s) getting just desserts for their sins in the end.

So you must understand something about human nature that I don’t.

I’m thrilled. The only thing worse than hating is leveraging hate to draw attention and make money. It’s cultural war profiteering.

Fuck her.

Sins? What's a sin?

She spouts rubbish that you might as well ignore. Which you can do if your life is not controlled by your inability to ignore social media.

Live your life online and there will be fuckwits like this in every corner.

Pay no attention to Twitter, FB etc etc and you will hear nothing about her.

Problem solved.

This. So many people forget that twitter are a company and they have a say on who they allow to use their product.

I do believe in freedom of speech though. if people can’t speak their mind, how do we know who the c*nts are! :)

I’d submit that very few problems are solved by me standing in a cornfield with my hands over my ears going “La la la la la la la la” at the top of my lungs.

Im not trying to argue with you in every thread before I say this haha :-)

The problem with these private companies, such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc. banning people whatever their politics or views is that they then have a lot of power when it comes to elections and democracy, I think they already have too much.

The influence of social media on elections is still underrated, despite it being well known.

Cummings knew this in 2016 and spent most of his budget on social media.

If Twitter or Facebook has a particular view, they have the power to ban those they dislike and influence democracy.

Don’t get me wrong, Hopkins is abhorrent and I am not defending her views at all, especially her “final solution” comment, which she knew full well what that meant, I just feel that there’s nothing restraining Twitter doing this with more moderate people.

Pornography on Twitter comes with a content warning, when you go to click on it, I feel they should do the same with those with more of the extreme views.

I don’t see it as just the same as a newspaper having a certain view, this is the main way people communicate now and the power and access of it is frightening.

I feel those who are moaning about the free speech point are missing the point a little, it’s not about defending that witch Hopkins, it’s about our main method of political communication being biased and authoritarian.

Not on Twitter but it's about time.

Racist Troll of the very worst kind.
