Twitter Bans Heritage Foundation Expert a Week Before Midterms
Twitter suspended conservative accounts just over one week before the midterm elections, including the account of a Heritage Foundation scholar and the leader of a conservative nonprofit.
Jake Denton, a research associate at Heritage s Tech Policy Center, found himself suspended on Twitter at 11:10 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, 10 days before the 2022 midterm elections.
Since the election of Donald Trump, Twitter has aggressively targeted and deplatformed young conservatives, Denton told The Daily Signal on Monday. It is no coincidence that just a week from Election Day, the leftists at Twitter executed one of the largest conservative ban-waves in the history of the platform. (The Daily Signal is the media outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
In the middle of the night, Twitter removed conservative political activists and ordinary Americans across the country to further silence conservative voices, Denton added. Twitter s targeting of conservative users this close to Election Day is a deliberate political action. Mass bannings have become standard practice against conservatives on Twitter, and Elon Musk needs to immediately put an end to this.
As Instapundit suggests, Elon should get on this.
