Twitter has always allowed hate speech and pron. Just ask Roseanne, who posted one oh-so-hateful tweet about Valerie Jarrett. She lost her entire sitcom because of it.

That kind of mentality might be fine in RuZZia or China, but the freedom to make mistakes and suffer the free market consequences thereof is a key part of capitalism and (small-L) liberal democracy. Kind of sad that the GQP has forgotten the basics ... Tenchusatsu
