| Twitter 'censorship of Seth Rich tweets' |
| 2018-03-05 |
| [RT] Dotcom had earlier tweeted about Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who was murdered in July 2016. Rumors that his death was in some way connected to the hacking or leaking of DNC emails during the US presidential primaries have circulated since he died. Dotcom maintains he knows who passed the DNC’s emails on to WikiLeaks, and why. Dotcom told RT many of his followers had shared similar experiences with retweeting, saying that it seems the platform "is actively targeting accounts that talk about the Seth Rich case." "There is a large number of Twitter users out there, especially Trump supporters, who claim that they sometimes cannot even retweet the tweets of the President," he added. "I’m thinking this isn’t just a bug. I think Twitter is proactively interfering with free speech because of the political bias of its leadership," Dotcom said. "And if that is true then the time has come for a Twitter alternative, a neutral platform without censorship." Dotcom said he likes the platform and wants to give Dorsey a chance to respond to reports of censorship. "If he can assure us that Twitter won’t violate free speech then I have no desire to create a twitter alternative," he said. "I like Twitter. It’s a great communication tool that must be protected from the political bias of twitter management or shareholders."

| #1 There has been too much censorship of the internet. Google, YouTube, Twitter and FB have censorship practices. If social media censorship promotes one political party over another or hinders criminal investigations is not right and should not be practiced. If you keep messing with our free speech @jack I will build a team to create a Twitter alternative, without censorship. Twitter could be toast within a year. I hear you’re hurting about the Trump presidency. Don’t let your frustration destroy your business. Go for it Kim Dot Com. |
