Twitter Bans 'Activist Mommy' for Criticizing Teen Vogue Editor's Promotion of Teen Sex
A popular Christian blogger has been suspended from Twitter for criticizing a Teen Vogue editor who approved of publishing an article that encourages youth to have ____ sex.

Grace Elizabeth Johnston, also known as "The Activist Mommy" who has over 260,000 Facebook friends and followers, received notice this week that she has been banned from the popular social media site because of an Aug. 16 tweet she wrote in response to Philip Bicardi, the digital editor of Teen Vogue.

They (Facebook, Twitter, Google) need to be broken up by the government for the monopoly they have over free speech.

Interesting. I don't do Twitter, so I'm not aware of what is allowed; but from different things I've heard people talk about what is on Twitter, I had assumed that crude language would not be uncommon.

I think it may have been the way in which she criticized them with some crude language
That may be what they stated, but Twitter doesn't police language or nudity actively. I'm not sure what their actual policy states, but I know that people can pay whatever they like and nothing happens.

Nothing I read shows their statement was very specific. I just hear how people are banned from twitter or posts deleted from facebook for different posts all the time but when I then go and make the same posts I never have a problem. She used the word "sodomite" which in many circles is deemed as hate language. I believe that may be the issue.

That well may it. If so, I expect they apply viewpoint discrimination. Which, if it is a privately owned site, can do so I suppose. The Baptist Board doesn't allow certain things to be expressed either.

I know that it is being suggested that these monopolies be broken up by the government but I think that additionally we need an independent conservative version of You-Tube and Google. I don't use Facebook because employers sometimes want access to it; I am on Twitter but only to see what Trump is doing although I do also follow Jay Sekulow, Ravi Zacharias and Dr. Ed Young, former President of the SBC but I don't tweet. (Old joke--You-Tube, Twitter and Facebook are being combined into You-Twit-Face.)
