Their fans were really convinced that Sargon and Tommy running for office was the foolproof way to get back on Twitter. But as it turned out, not quite:pic.twitter.com/miC5QqH0sp

Right-wing personalities Tommy Robinson and Sargon of Akkad have been banned from Twitter for months, but were convinced that if they ran for office Twitter couldn't delete their campaign accounts. Well...https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1121824585735987200 …

Kind of like how HRC and Biden are convinced that if they run for president, they won't be indicted. Glad to see that you think others free speech getting suppressed is cool. Wanna explain that? Sounds kinda commie-ish.

“You can’t ban me, I’m running for Parliament!” is an objectively hilarious sentence.

So how does Steve King still have a Twitter account?

As it turns out, Twitter specifically doesn't ban Republican politicians who are also white supremacists. Okay, I'm paraphrasing, but....https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a3xgq5/why-wont-twitter-treat-white-supremacy-like-isis-because-it-would-mean-banning-some-republican-politicians-too …

Right, so you can get banned if you're a White Supremacist who is running for office but if you get elected you're then immune?
-
Well, to be accurate, Twitter has done a pretty crappy job overall of banning the white supremacists on here.

"Personalities" is a bit of a stretch

Any journalist who celebrates censorship isn't a journalist at all...

The funny thing about this is that this is blatant election meddling by Social Media platforms, but the "Private Company can do what it likes!" isn't going to last for much longer as Social Media becomes the place for political discussion. Laws will be coming to stop this.pic.twitter.com/3wwpD0t3Pp

I don't see why Miami Herald v Tornillo wouldn't apply to social media companies, and thus be allowed to censor whom they choose. I'd argue legislating the types of speech social media companies have to host is a losing proposition.
-
In the long run it's a losing proposition, absolutely. In the N months between proposing the legislation, passing the legislation and the next election? (not necessarily in that order) It might get a party elected. So... which country will pass it first?
-
I'd wager no one will attempt to pass this sort of legislation. It's been tried before and has failed pretty badly.
-
Have you seen who is getting elected these days? Donald Trump - NO Political Experience. Entertainers in the Ukraine and Italy. Potentially YouTubers into the EU. The leading Progressive in the USA was a bartender a year ago. This kind of legislation will be passed, somewhere.
-
You are assuming two things. First that free speech principles are applied equally everywhere. They are not. The American standard isn't the British standard. Secondly, as long as private media companies exist, they are incentivized to police their platform. 1/

So what laws will look like in Italy will differ significantly from what laws will look like in America. Given the SC cases here, forcing media companies to host speech is a losing proposition unless you change the way media companies are categorized 2/
