Twitter Tyranny: Actress Who Ripped Weinstein and Ben Affleck Has Account Suspended

One of the really hot issues that are generally being ignored by Americans who take free speech for granted is the growing power of the Silicon Valley corporations which are actively engaging in the censorship of those whose opinions are threatening to the wealthy and powerful.

Perhaps the worst is Twitter, the immensely popular micro-blogging platform that has served as President Trump’s primary channel of communications directly to the American people.

Nothing pisses the establishment off more than Trump’s ability to circumvent the consolidated media propaganda machine and there have been calls to have his Twitter account shut down so that the threat to the status quo can be silenced.

To this point, the President has not yet been banned from Twitter but the same isn’t the case for others who are expressing their right to free speech.

Like actress Rose McGowan. Ms. McGowan alleged that she had been one of the women who was sexually exploited by the piggish Democrat mega-donor Harvey Weinstein and received a $100,000 settlement as a result.

Now that Weinstein is no longer able to hide his perversion and a parade of victims are emerging, he has come under intense social media fire.

Like from McGowan who not only went off on Weinstein but also on Hollywood liberal darling Ben Affleck whose film-career has now expanded to putting on the cowl as the latest actor to play D.C. Comics character Batman.

McGowan ripped into Affleck over his hypocrisy about Weinstein as well as his own proclivity for groping young actresses and after an epic tirade, was banned from Twitter.

The Washington Examiner reports “Twitter suspends actress Rose McGowan’s account after Harvey Weinstein tweets”:

Twitter temporarily suspended the account of actress Rose McGowan, she said late Wednesday, after she accused actor Ben Affleck of lying as he denounced producer Harvey Weinstein’s misconduct toward women.

“TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME. THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE #ROSEARMY #whywomendontreport,” McGowan said in an Instagram post Wednesday night.

Included in the post was a screenshot of a message from Twitter notifying her the account had been suspended for 12 hours. Twitter said the account “violated the Twitter Rules,” and said McGowan’s Twitter account would be restored to full functionality after the 12 hours is up and once she deletes the tweets in violation of the company’s rules.

McGowan’s Twitter was still visible, but the social media platform said she is limited only to sending direct messages. Under a temporary suspension, McGowan can’t tweet, retweet or like other content.

Since the New York Times reported three decades of sexual harassment and assault allegations made against Harvey Weinstein, McGowan has emerged as one of the most vocal actresses in Hollywood advocating for victims and denouncing Weinstein and those who worked closely with him.

The New York Times reported Weinstein reached a $100,000 settlement with McGowan in 1997 after there was an incident in a hotel room at the Sundance Film Festival.

It’s unclear which of McGowan’s tweets violated Twitter’s rules, but according to the Washington Post, the tweet that triggered suspension of her account was deleted.

In addition to denouncing Weinstein, McGowan has been especially critical of Affleck.

In one tweet from Oct. 10, she told Affleck to “fuck off,” and in another, she suggested the actor knew about Weinstein’s behavior.

“@benaffleck ‘GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP DOING THAT’ you said that to my face. The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie,” McGowan said in another tweet.

This is a not positive sign because big tech companies hiding behind shifting policies and which are run by radical leftists should not have the power to shut down the speech of anyone.

Here is also a very clear double standard at play because, despite a near daily spewing of vulgarity, this guy has NEVER faced such a suspension.

The argument can be made that he is now largely irrelevant since his once shining career is in the toilet but if Twitter is going to act like Nazis with their policies, this clown should have also been banned.

Outrage continues to build over McGowan’s suspension and it’s to see how the corporate cowards will be able to hold out for much longer before eating crow and restoring her account.
