This is right up your street, a private organisation having impunity of who it does business with.
I'm all for it. Lets see what a judge decides.

Hate speech laws in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia
for example
On 13 October 2001, Harry Hammond, an evangelist, was arrested and charged under section 5 of the Public Order Act (1986) because he had displayed to people in Bournemouth a large sign bearing the words "Jesus Gives Peace, Jesus is Alive, Stop Immorality, Stop Homosexuality, Stop Lesbianism, Jesus is Lord". In April 2002, a magistrate convicted Hammond, fined him £300, and ordered him to pay costs of £395

Should a pub owner be forced to allow an obnoxious git into his pub ?
Perhaps we need a new law to force people to listen to obnoxious opinions, insults and hate speech.

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIt's a ban, that's all it is. You can ban someone from a pub, you can summarily dimiss them from a job, you don't need to wait for someone to go through a judicial process. If they don't like it, tough they can go public on the thousands of other internet platforms.
The moral is don't use bad language on a public forum.

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostTrump gets censored as well but he's not as bad as Hopkins.
I mean I don't mind her to be honest but if she can't hold her temper she's going to get banned.
In any case she can publicise whereever she wants. This "gatekeeper" nonesense is a storm in a teacup. You wouldn't expect a TV station to air someone who uses bad language and insults.
You ban Hatie Katie and meh. A few at the right end of the Daily Mail's readership will quit in disgust.
No different to England captains getting an easier ride from referees in football - the stuff that Robbo and Shearer got away with when they were captains would have been red cards for others.

Originally posted by TheGreenBastard View PostIt also brings up other tricky questions, which legal jurisdiction matters? Saying UK law applies to a US company implies that in China, Twitter can be used as a tool of oppression, because in that country the law allows for suppression of minorities and restriction of data.
The moral is don't use bad language on a public forum.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostThey are selective as to whom they ban. It was a commercial decision, rather than a moral one, whatever the merits or otherwise of their decision. Trump will survive, whatever he says, with occasional censure to make sure Twatter is headline news for as long as possible.
