Dilbert Shadow Banned Due To Trump Support

Dilbert Shadow Banned Due To Trump Support — Scott Adams, who pens the comic strip Dilbert, is not what one considers a typical right winger. However, he has come out for Donald Trump as many of us have because his opponent is a thief and liar, and because The Donald is not intimidated by political correctness and addresses obvious and consequential realities.

Dilbert Shadow Banned Due To Trump SupportThis exercise of Adam’s political rights has led to repercussions. He his been subject to pointless personal attacks by the self-proclaimed “tolerant and enlightened” but that goes with the territory of expressing an opinion.

More disgraceful and troubling is his “shadow banning” by Twitter. Shadow banning is banning a user from a web forum in such a way that he is unaware of the ban. It is a particularly sneaky and despicable form of censorship.

Adams learned of his banning when his many followers informed him they were not seeing his tweets. The ban has apparently been lifted after protests. That someone in authority at the failing company thought he could get away with it, however, shows why the company is failing.

Censoring political speech is never justice — social or otherwise.

      Scott Adams, probably stands up and places his hand over his heart when they play our National Anthem. Way to go Scott!

  1. Twitter shadowbanned me over a week ago on my Christian apologetics handle with 14,600 followers @lead1225. I’m a Democrat, so they aren’t only targeting Republicans, they’re targeting Christians. It’s disgraceful. Pun intended.

    1. Silicon Valley can’t be trusted. The people who work there want to be kings and queens and dukes and duchesses. They don’t believe in freedom, compassion or human dignity.
