    Twitter is totally going down the shitter.

    They also shadowbanned conservative hashtags and topics. Its a private company, but if you lean conservative, its time to find another outlet. They are selectively targeting conservative/right leaning accounts.

    They also ONLY RECENTLY pledged not to take money from RT (Russian News agency) because they went in front of Congress this week. However, during the election cycle they courted their money to increase their presence and influence.

    So they took money from Russians to promote Trump, but you are saying they then hid the results?

    Is your problem with them that they cheated the Russkies?

    You can only do 280 if they are Cyrillic characters.
