* Trump's Twitter account has been permanently banned, the company announced in a blog post on Friday

* Trump's account had 88.7million followers before being hit with an 'account suspended' note
* His followers represent nearly half of the company's total base of monetizable daily active users
* Within an hour of the announcement, Twitter stock had fallen 3.8% and continued to drop
* Former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Sidney Powell - two Trump loyalists - were also permanently banned by Twitter earlier on Friday

Donald Trump on Friday night found his way around a permanent Twitter ban by using the official account for the President of the United States before his tweets were swiftly deleted.
He urged his supporters to 'STAY TUNED!' as he claimed that Twitter is working with 'Radical Left and Dems' to silence him and to silence those who voted for him.
'As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me,' he wrote.

WNU Editor: We all knew this was going to happen. Many in Washington (and their allies) are terrified of President Trump. They are now doing everything in their power to silence him.
I also expect this censorship will not stop with President Trump.
I will not be surprised if in the coming months Twitter starts to purge accounts that it will decide to be unfit. And it does not stop with Twitter. Facebook has already started to downgrade/suspend accounts that it politically disagrees with. Even Rush Limbaugh's account has been hit .... Badge of Honor: Facebook Throttles the EIB Network (Rush Limbaugh).
In the case of WNU. I do not know how long this ride will go on. But I do know that War News Updates is on Google's black-list .... It Appears That Google Has A Black List Of Conservative Sites (War News Updates Is On The List) (July 22, 2020).
Sighhh ....
One more reason why these tech and social media companies must lose their legal protections.

You’ve previously mentioned an alternative to Blogger that you’ve thought about setting up.
Any progress?
Admittedly, you have a lot going on: work, personal life, CV19, staying fit, chopping wood and practicing your many musical instruments (of which I am incredibly jealous of, as I have zero talent in that arena).
So...any update in case you do get ‘1984’d’ by Big Brother?
Censorship?
god gods, man, a call to topple a democracy is hardly allowable, and for your information, here is yet another call to destroy our nation!

You started it with lies Lapides, you and the rest will reap what you've sown.
I deactivated my Twitter after hearing this. Twitter is biased and always has been. This will not prevent violence, it's only making things worse.
It's sad to think how much power Big Tech has over people, hopefully that will change. At this point, if evidence came out 100% proving that the election was stolen and Youtube was down at the same time...much more people would be concerned about Youtube.
To preserve the forum I suggest contacting "sundance" at theconservativetreehouse.com. They were given notice that they would be deplatformed and they moved their site and set it up in a way that prevents that kind of meddling moving forward.
If the same thing happens to Obama...it would be "racist" against the 1rd amendment and so on. But Trump......... We are in Soviet Union.
