Can someone please educate the community on how they think this is -- in any way -- a bad thing? I've read every policy posted and the related coverage of it and outside of the link you posted that has a clearly bigoted viewpoint, I don't see how any of this affects Pizzagate, the research collected or continuing to use the tools available to us to share our information...

Actually, it sounds like this "don't use twitter" message is controlled OPPOSITION. Podesta can't tweet anything without being destroyed by those of us in the know...

Unless someone can point to exactly what the problem is and explain it easily to the masses, this argument is flawed and should be questioned -- not flagged as important...

If Twitter put half as much energy into eradicating all their pedo, child porn and violent profiles, they could have solved the issue by now. Instead, they're intent on suppressing free speech and the truth.

@IShallNotFear : Here's a way for people to protect themselves from being reported, from Twitter user @ TruthInGovernment:

⚠️Twitter rules changed today making it MUCH EASIER AND MORE LIKELY your account will be targeted and shutdown BUT targeting depends on REPORTS from hostile Liberal accounts. PROTECT YOURSELF BY BLOCKING them. Make yourself invisible using my blocklist .

This list contains 4,450 accounts and includes 2500 of my own blocked accounts, plus 4 lists from @GOPPollAnalyst :

1) President Trump's personal blocklist

2) WaPo employees

3) NYT employees

4) CNN employees

Stay safe!

To use in case it's not clear, in a DESKTOP browser:

1) Click the pastebin link above and download the text file

2) Rename it with a ".CSV" extension

3) Go to Twitter Settings -> Blocked Accounts -> Advanced

4) Import the file you saved and click "PREVIEW" then select "DONE"

5) Live to fight another day.

The young Turks are using Twitter today to call for a violent street protest like Egypt and it's fucking sick. They are sick and should go to court for that tweet. It's a terror tweet. What's sicker is I get suspended for calling a sick terror tweet our. My account is now called fuck off Twr I'm trying to close out this fascist b.

I geuss it is to bully Trump, from using Twitter. Thats it and brainwash Twitter users everyone Hates the president and that's what's going on, alot of sick violent messages and dumb ladies talking about hitting the street. Aggravating.

Totay Twitter is a terror platform with people calling for taking to the streets anti trump. I just got suspended again, for qouting the terror tweets on Twitter, the young Turks calling for terror via Twitter like in evypt.

For people who want to stay on Twitter, it's easy enough to use a designated Twitter computer, tablets are so cheap, you can get something for $50 or so that will be fine for Twitter. I myself have deleted my Twitter account, although I am keeping my extra unused account, which I am using to read only but not comment. You don't need an account to surf, but having an account seems harmless for the time being.

Why are they doing this? I think I know why. Trump communicates directly with the American people, and he gets a huge number of likes and comments. There are many Twitter accounts run by Trump supporters, who follow each other. I think this community will be purged. This is part of the elites' plot to impeach Trump. If all the pro-Trump people are purged from Twitter, how can we visibly support Trump and network with each other. There's always Gab, but it's a backwater until it really catches on.

So this Twitter thing is very big and very bad. The deep state is trying to separate Trump from his supporters.

Solution? Stay away from the evil bastards. They got a right to be evil. And i got a right to stay away from them. People don't need twitter to survive. But without people Twitter is dead. Let them circle jerk themselves into oblivion.

I'd care if I used twitter. Sadly I don't.

I must be mistaken, my understanding was that they've been watching everyone on and off the platform for ages. All the social platforms do. This policy change is in regards to how they are going to use that information while making decisions about who to censor. So I was expecting that tomorrow a whole bunch of accounts were getting deleted or shadow banned.

Every single one of us from Voat will be banned immediately, I guarantee it. Not that I give a shit lol, I can read Trump's tweets from other sources.

That is jew-level bullshit right there. Its like a store monitoring which other stores I just came from and they could refuse me at the door. This kike bullshit must and will be destroyed

Simplest solution is use multiple portable browsers. Maybe they don't have to be portable/don't know/it's what I use. I have a browser for gmail (my junk account) and online purchases...that is all it's used for. Few other browsers divided accordingly as to use. If you use Twitter use a browser just for that/of course it will still track your twitter hopping but nothing else/like here for instance. Easy to have couple of browsers open at the same time/been doing it for years.

Thanks for the PSA, ishallnotfear. I'm giving this an IMPORTANT flair and stickying it. It will be interesting to see what happens. I'm on Twitter all the time.

The only time I ever used Twitter was when a game I played gave me a reward for linking the game on the platform.

So I made an account and posted to the void for the reward and haven't used it since.

Personally, I don't understand the appeal of the site, so I won't be bothered by this at all. I look forward to hearing news of its death like so many other sites before it.

Ah...forgot about the coming censorship. Now I know why I took a little heat for posting a link to Twitter. Check.

What's the thinking? There are still some good things to find there. I'm not on it, that's fo schnizzle.

Suggested protocol? Archive and post?

Stephen Fry is laughing his ass off.

The easy solution is just to not use twitter. I've been doing that since Twitter started.

Twitter is so important though. it has helped us keep track of so much activity and goings on - what have you... @ESOTERICshade mentioned some great counter measures but the vast majority will not give up the platform. whats the play people? How should we react to this!

hahaha FUCK TWITTER! This is bullshit! They’re going to try and stop the chaos thats goi g to let loose when all the pedos get ousted!!!

Am I the only person who never saw "white supremacy" all over Twitter? Conversely, I see many daily examples of what a piece of trash I am for being Caucasian. And they could potentially ban me for caring about child abuse. SMDH.

Starting tomorrow all links to twitter will be downvoated on site.

Why the fuck are you on (((twitter))) anyways?

If Twitter uses a DOM super cookie firefox addons "Cookie Controller" and "Better Privacy" can be used to easily delete them. Better Privacy can be set to auto delete them but I don't remember if it can totally block them.

So the Arab who holds a majority share of Twitter has been jailed, who makes the decisions now I wonder, btw Bin Talal has lost 2 bn of his net worth in the last MONTH.

I wonder if this is part of the Trump thing? Didn't Q mention something about shitter trying to use the app to track POTUS, or something?
