Anyone on the right who agrees with censorship are not a conservative in my opinion and are just part of the global elite that real conservatives despise.

What about pornography which the Catechism says we should work to ban. And obscenity laws? I think one can be a conservative and be for those things. But that’s a topic for another thread.

Protests, however, are a very logical response to a system that is otherwise unresponsive to previous complaints and calls for reform.

I see your logic but don’t think it matches the present reality.

Far too few protesters are expressing the insight below. Considering the source, it made my jaw drop.

Twitter is private property. They are not obligated to carry messages that they don’t wish to display.

I don’t understand what your point is? All i said is that Twitter censor those on the right, not that they don’t have a right to do it. My point is that the left today censor those they don’t agree with ESPECIALLY religion

Thanks for clarifying. Lately I’ve heard more people say Twitter and the like should be… not controlled, but the rhetoric is a bit much.

Censorship should and does exist for certain things however the discussion to even engage in debate is what is being censored. For example when you have leftists claim what the right is saying is akin to violence to justify violence themselves or when in Universities they shout and howl down political speakers on the right to drown out ANY discussion what so ever all it does is kind of expose these people as childish, don’t you agree.

I mean we Catholics don’t really subscribe to left or right anyway as both for the most part care little for God and natural law. The left however is becoming more intolerable, i feel the left won’t be happy until we have a society similar to the USSR where those who speak against the status quo would be branded as dissidents and imprisoned or fired from their jobs. The left today already kind of uses means to destroy peoples lives that don’t agree with them

Ok, Twitter are their own organization, they make the rules and can tolerate what they like, my advice to those on the right or ANYONE who doesn’t attach themselves to left wing views is detach themselves from it UNLESS they are using Twitter as a vehicle to evangelize. At the end of the day we need to meet the non-religious where they are comfortable

Personally, I think Twitter and FB, etc., ought to be considered more like radio stations. We (the US) originally built the internet as a way for the military to communicate, and then we opened it up to the world.

Yes but that also brings up issue of property rights. Even libertarians believe in homesteading radio frequencies and the like.

The right with Twitter and other things, the left with social pressure and political correctness.

Any censorship on the part of Twitter, Facebook, etc., is against conservative, pro-life, or traditional religious ideas. I don’t know of anyone on the right trying to restrict speech from left of center.
 
Well, I’m a distributist, not a libertarian, so I vote for treating them like radio stations used to be treated 🙂
 
The left’s ultimate goal is to destroy the family, then pin the blame on an easy target (white men) as the reason for the social problems that spawn from that

That is your opinion. It is the right I always here decrying fake news and mainstream media when it disagrees.

And wasn’t it Trump who very recently was seeking to dictate to Twitter in terms of what it does to his own tweets? Isn’t that itself an attemot at censorship?
 
It is similar. I believe to think the right is worse than the left, of visa versa, in trying to shut down contrary opinions through some for of censorship or media manipulation, one must first have that orientation. It is the type of basic hypocrisy partisanship breeds.
