Twitter has suspended more than 1 MILLION accounts for terrorism

20

That’s a lot of a “handful of ‘extremists.’” We are constantly admonished that jihad terrorism is the work of just a tiny minority of Muslims, and that there are “extremists” in every religion, but this story gives the lie to all that propaganda. There were a million jihad terrorists operating on Twitter, and there are no doubt many more there still. Where are the million Christian “extremists” or Jewish “extremists”? Where is the violence they are doing in the name of their religions? The world has a massive problem with Islamic jihad terrorism that is only made worse by relentless denial and obfuscation.

“Twitter has suspended more than 1 million accounts for terrorism, but Australia says there’s more work to be done,” by David Lipson, ABC.net.au, November 7, 2018 (thanks to Tom):

Twitter is clearly proud of its achievements in the fight against terrorism. In 20 months, the social media platform suspended more than 1.2 million accounts for terrorist content.

And thanks to purpose-built early detection technology, 75 per cent of those accounts were suspended before they could even thumb out their first tweet.

“Twitter has been at the forefront of responding to the evolving challenge of preventing terrorist exploitation of the internet,” a spokesperson for Twitter told the ABC.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is also impressed, describing the 1.2-million figure as an “incredible number” after co-hosting a sub-regional meeting on counter-terrorism in Jakarta.

But Mr Dutton said there was still much more work to be done.

“It’s a significant figure but it may just be the tip of the iceberg in terms of the quantum that we need to deal with, not only today, but as the use of social media increases as the years go by,” Mr Dutton said.

He also called on all social media platforms to do more in the fight against terrorism online.

“This is a very serious and significant issue and we need better engagement from those social media companies,” he said.

Mr Dutton said at the meeting of the Five Eyes intelligence grouping (Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada) in Australia in August: “It was very hard to get the companies to turn up to be part of the conversation and that was incredibly disappointing.”

He said social media companies had a “specific obligation” to assist law enforcement organisations in the fight against terrorism, particularly encrypted messaging services.

“People in Australia or people in Indonesia would expect law enforcement and intelligence agencies to be able to detect a message which was being conveyed over a social media platform that, had it not been detected, could have resulted in the loss of significant lives,” he said….

They likely consider people who uttered a negative word against leftists as “terrorists.” I know several non-terrorists who were suspended. No doubt these people were considered terrorists by Twitter.

Correct!….DEFINE “terrorist.”
I’ve been suspended for criticism of Islam and Leftists—that must make ME a “terrorist” which would be anyone who defames the “religion” of Islam or the “religion” of Leftist Globalism. They become automatic “terrorist” according to the Leftist Silicon Valley….There goes the FREE WORLD when FREE SPEECH is considered HATE SPEECH and threats of terrorism by those in control of digital communication:

Here’s 2 examples of tweets cited by Twitter in previous temporary suspensions:

“@lsarsour @BuzzFeedNews @HuffPost Sarsour is he biggerst #FakeFeminist in history, by freely identifying with and supporting Islam, she supports misogyny and abuse of women under #IslamoFascism. She’s a big fat hypocrite and a big time user of Leftist “useful infidels.” https://t.co/jrzxJ6d7HE

Concerning Leftist attack on Trump concerning Muslim Kashoggi’s murder by Saudi Muslims:
“@realDonaldTrump @StateDept @SecPompeo Muslims kill other Muslims…nothing unusual. FAKE outrage from Leftist #Democrats who didn’t care about #Benghazi and THAT involved American citizens.”

Reply from Twitter in my futile appeal of my suspension (they didn’t cite specific tweets in the latest permanent suspension) :

“Hello,
Your account has been suspended and will not be restored because it was found to be violating Twitter’s Terms of Service, specifically the Twitter Rules against hateful conduct.
It is against our rules to promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease.
Additionally, if we determine that the primary purpose of an account is to incite harm towards others on the basis of these categories, that account may be suspended without prior warning.
You can learn more about our policy against hateful conduct here: https://help.twitter.com/rules-and-policies/hateful-conduct-policy.”
Thanks,

It’s not only twitter and facebook. Google apparently censors gmail messages. If I initiate an email via gmail to a new recipient and the content is about the TRUE history of Islam and links to videos exposing Islam, those emails seem to disappear into the bit bucket. They don’t show up in the inbox or in spam. There is no sign that they were ever sent. It appears that gmail is scanning incoming messages and blocking them if they don’t like the content. Sending the same email via multiple email accounts produced the same result when the receiver was using a gmail address.

Twitter is rather short on details. I winder how many are Conservative white males/females who dared utter a word against islam? I don’t doubt that they did some geo-blocking/banning, but wots the bet that very few Lefturds got nuked?

I never had a twitter account.
I would probably be permanently banned after the first couple of tweets.

As far as I know the Moslems were given a specific CURSE from their creator in Genesis. You cannot get along with just one religion – ISLAM.

You bring them on your soil and you unleash the WILD MAN! You cannot tame him. Don’t even try to You are going against the most High.

And WOE to you for trying.

Guaranteed 2/3 of these are the accounts of right wing conservatives who oppose Islam and Islamic immigration which are being mislabeled as terrorism. Antifa is clearly an Islamic terrorist tied organization yet they continue to allow them to have accounts. In fact, there are hundreds of very radical Muslims on twitter saying all sorts of crazy things and Twitter doesn’t even block them. Most jihadis pose as Christian groups on twitter spread support for Islam and it’s teachings. They are even referring to God as “Allah” when they post stuff. They literally think we are all really really stupid
