| Twitter Permanently Bans Zero Hedge - BuzzFeed Was Involved |
| 2020-02-03 |
| Most of us know the story by now, but I also believe Twitter is simply sitting on certain conservative accounts just waiting for the right time to deplatform someone, and it's now Zero Hedge's turn. [Rooters, via Drudge] - Twitter Inc has banned financial market website Zero Hedge from the social media platform after it published an article linking a Chinese scientist to the outbreak of the fast-spreading coronavirus last week. Zero Hedge said it received a notification from Twitter on Friday, accusing it of violating the social media company's "rules against abuse and harassment." Here's the scumbag BuzzFeed part: Zero Hedge said it initially thought the suspension was triggered by an article it published on Friday about the makeup of the coronavirus. But it suggested it later learned Twitter had received a complaint from online news website BuzzFeed over a separate article. BuzzFeed said Zero Hedge had released the personal information of a scientist from Wuhan in an article that made allegations about coronavirus having been concocted "as a bioweapon." The article was titled "Is This The Man Behind The Global Coronavirus Pandemic?" BuzzFeed did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Until today, once everyone gets their stories straight. I checked the links ZH provided in their Friday afternoon response and they did indeed go to two sites that clearly identified this guy in public information. These a-holes should all be exiled to ANWR.

| #5 Can't wait for Twitter to show the 404 sign and they scream censorship. BTW, by doing this they cease to be a common carrier and bear all the consequence when the Left acts badly on it. |
