Twitter does ‘1984,’ suspends conservative blogger for no apparent reason

This is what you get when liberals run social media sites and rely on other liberals to police them. On Friday, the hashtag #FreeStacy began trending after popular conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain was suspended for no apparent reason.

On Saturday, McCain wrote:

Unexpectedly, and without explanation, my @rsmccain Twitter account was suspended Friday evening. Based on past experiences, my guess would be that this resulted from a complaint by one of the leading “social justice warriors” (SJWs) who have been at war with #GamerGate since August 2014. However, there was no reason stated for the suspension, and who knows?

We have a pretty good idea of the reason behind the suspension: McCain was no doubt tweeting while conservative, which is something liberals can’t stand.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

Anybody else had enough of tweeting-while-conservative resulting in account suspensions? #FreeStacy

@rsmccain talked tough but he only gave good as he got. I'll be dropping from @twitter if @Support doesn't #FreeStacy & I won't be the only

Naive I guess, but I didn't know Twitter manipulated hashtags & trends like this #FreeStacy https://t.co/SzDrroQW1l pic.twitter.com/xsrxsGyb6T

The #FreeStacy tag would be in the US top 10 now, but Twitter has scrubbed it. No autocomplete. #TrustAndSafety. https://t.co/kgZW6mHcV0

So Twitter can control what hashtag trends? Interesting.

Others took Twitter to task for the Orwellian action against McCain.

Keep digging that hole, Twitter. #FreeStacy https://t.co/DaKHbt3KiZ

Trigger warning for millennials, SJWs, and other crybabies: From time to time, people are going to disagree with you. #FreeStacy

.@Jack may disapprove of what you say, but he'll defend to the death his right to ban you for it. #FreeStacy

Apparently so.

Why not? After all, it’s been working for Facebook for years…

"Hate speech" meaning anything you disagree with. #Gotcha #FreeStacy https://t.co/lICDk2tgag

Isn’t that the case with liberalism in general?

I'm getting so tired of the overt political bias/hatred of free speech by @twitter @Support and @jack.

Alternatives wanted.#freestacy

There was a conservative alternative once, but that site no longer appears to exist.

Meanwhile, McCain says he’s switched to a backup account he created to promote his book.

No doubt, McCain won’t be the last one suspended by Twitter for surfing while conservative. One has to wonder: How many conservatives will be suspended for no reason before someone decides to file a class action lawsuit for viewpoint discrimination?
