Katie Hopkins suspended from Twitter

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.

No, but if everyone just ignored her the problem wouldn't exist. She's probably relying on the outraged guardians of the online moral compass to keep her relevant to her fairly 'niche' audience by banning her from stuff and giving her the attention she craves

Give it a rest, she’s a ****. You don’t have to spend your life on social media to know this. It’s a well known fact.

She is. But everyone appears to be overjoyed about a woman I rarely hear about being banned from something I rarely use.

I would suggest that if everyone else did this she wouldn't be an issue. Or relevant.

Good old social media.
