The above GREAT Americans has told Twitter goodbye and I hope who people who believe in FREE Speech leave. Isn't it time for Americans to have some courage and stand for freedom. I don't care if you like Trump or not, it could be you who gets block next.
Parler will be back and I saw something called Rumble I will check out. To hell with that flake Dorsey, he can keep Twitter.
Read Below:Conservative radio hosts Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, along with commentator Dan Bongino, departed Twitter this week after the social media network permanently banned President Donald Trump from the platform.
What happened?
Conservatives noticed Friday that Limbaugh's account was no longer active, causing many to assume that Twitter had banned Limbaugh.
However, Twitter told a CNN reporter that it did not suspend Limbaugh's account. Instead, Limbaugh deactivated the account.
Indeed, Twitter notes when it suspends an account, writing on a suspended account, "Account suspended" and "Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules." As of Saturday morning, Limbaugh's account read, "This account doesn't exist."
Meanwhile, Bongino, who has nearly 3 million followers on Twitter, announced his departure from the platform after Twitter temporarily suspended his account on Thursday.
"I'm leaving the platform permanently for Parler. I'll post my final tweet and message for Twitter tomorrow when the 12-hour lockdown ends," told the Washington Examiner. "F*** these a**holes."
"Twitter needs me, I don't need them. I provide them with content. Hopefully, this leads to more high-profile accounts leaving Twitter," Bongino said.
Levin also said that he was leaving Twitter for good as a "protest" against "Twitter's fascism."
"I have suspended my own Twitter account in protest against Twitter's fascism. I ask all my followers to join me now on Parler and Rumble," Levin announced Friday.
What's the background?
After the U.S. Capitol riots on Wednesday, social media platforms and online services began taking action against Trump. After intimately suspending Trump's account, Twitter decided late Friday to permanently ban Trump from the platform, citing "risk of further incitement of violence."
The action against Trump appeared to be part of a broader campaign to cleanse Twitter of accounts that have been promoting conspiracy theories and false claims about the election, which are believed to be at least partly responsible for the deadly riots at the Capitol.
On Friday, conservative personalities began noticing their follower numbers dip, bringing attention to what some are called a "purge" of right-leaning accounts.
However, Twitter denied they were engaging in a censorship campaign.
"As part of our work to protect the integrity of the conversation on Twitter, we regularly challenge accounts to confirm account details such as email and phone number. Until the accounts confirm additional account information, they are in a locked state and do not count towards follower counts," the platform told the Washington Examiner.
