Take Back Twitter: Unite In Solidarity Against Twitter's TOS

  • by: Justin Ccs
  • recipient: Those who support Freedom of Speech

I urge you to agree to the terms of this petition in order to protect those of us who have been persecuted by Twitter's arbitrary and ever changing TOS Policy.

The thought of losing one's Twitter account based on arbitrary rules that have been proven to be repeatedly abused has forced me to make this petition. I urge everyone to put aside their political differences and agree that FREEDOM OF SPEECH Transcends all political discourse because without it, then there is NO POLITICAL DISCOURSE.

The Goal: To incentivize Twitter to become a place that's actually open to free discussion FOR ALL OF ITS MEMBERS.

2 Problems:

1. Twitter's TOS is out of control and is ruining open discourse on what they call a "social media" site.

2. The problem of defining "wrongful suspension." Wrongful suspension has nothing to do with political leanings but has everything to do with the defense of Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech does NOT include those attempting to incite violence with their words and therefore those who do will NOT be considered a "wrongful suspension." However, I insist that if you sign this petition and a political opponent of yours gets wrongfully suspended that you defend said opponent as fervently as you would anyone else. If there is one front where we MUST unite, it's in Freedom of Speech. The only enemy of Freedom of Speech is censorship of all kinds, which includes, but is not limited to: political correctness, self censorship, AND social media censorship.

The Solution: Do what we've already been doing and support those who wrongfully get suspended by Twitter. The goal is to give those who've been wrongfully suspended the platform necessary to recoup their lost follower count AND GROW their influence over all social media platforms.

The Terms of This Petition: tweet out the hashtag #Free[insert the name of a wrongfully suspended account] (EX: #FreeLauraLoomer) & FOLLOW those who get reinstated and those who have to create a new account and support them on all other social media platforms. Meaning: Support them to the best of our ability in order to ultimately make a Twitter suspension a NET POSITIVE in terms of social influence (Follower count, subscriber count, publicity, etc.)

What this petition is not: This is not a petition for martyrdom. We are not trying to glorify getting suspended. On the contrary, we should act as a safety net for those that are not in accordance with whatever Jack Dorsey's capricious political ideology is on any particular day.

Twitter's Policy according to Wikipedia: Users who are permanently suspended from Twitter are not told which of their tweets were the cause, only that their accounts will not be restored, and which of Twitter's rules the company says were violated. In addition to community guideline policy decisions, the Twitter DMCA and spam detection systems are sometimes abused to force a user's suspension.
