A nightmare comes true

Many have already noted that one of the great—if not the greatest Twitter account of our time—has been silenced. The prolific opponents of free speech on the Internet have finally silenced the one voice that chronicled the abusive behavior of the TWiT moderators and the appalling actions of #Soup.

@LeoLaporteSucks will sing no more

Next they come for you
Next they come for you

How sad, the hollow heroes of the Anti-SOPA cause and the protesters  of the-right-to-be-forgotten have joined forces to gag someone whose sole purpose was making known the Soup-sanctioned moderator ridicule bestowed on his fans who dared to hold opinions different from his own.

We need to cheer a society where knowing the email address of a vice president at Twitter, Inc. is enough to censor voices you dislike. The ridicule #TotalDrama heaps on the CEHo is possibly unwarranted. Perhaps a career in silencing political satire is her true calling. Her outrageous salary (BTW, Soup: We know why you need a lower bottomline for TWiT…very clever) may be justified if she worked for a major studio; banning and harassing reviewers who do not like her client’s movies.

Anyway, they don’t have machine guns and Islamic Fundamentalist views, so this quieting will unfortunately go unnoticed. Especially when it is the greatest hypocrite of our age fastening the muzzle.

  1. Bit shitty of Twitter that. But you don’t get free speech on these closed platforms. You can only say what the advertisers want to hear. LLS should get his own blog and carry on posting there, like TD.

  3. I don’t see how an account can even be suspended if it’s criticism- or parody-based…can someone enlighten me? I understand if it’s CLEARLY hate speech, threatening real-world violence, etc. but was that even close to being the case here?

    1. I imagine you could get the account reinstated. I never saw any death threats there. It was a total parody account and critical of Leo. There’s nothing illegal about that.

  5. Not surprised since Gina Trapani and that other dude on This Week in Google are always complaining about how they want Twitter to broadcast their wisdom to the whole world, without any dissent.

  6. I guess what crossed the line for Twit was his regular call to write to advertisers of Twit about chat room kickings – including the advertisers email addresses…

    1. Yes it’s too much of a coincidence that the suspension came very soon after he told everyone to complain to the advertisers and gave out their emails. Which proves, that despite what they say, Leo and Lisa only care about one thing; the $$$$$$$

  7. Leo is absolutely behind getting this account shut down.

    He just admitted on twig that he’s been very successful as of late getting stuff taken down from twitter. He also wants twitter to add the ability to ban by IP address.

  8. If @obamasucks can exist on twitter so can @leolaportesucks.

    This has nothing to do with his name being in the account. there’s absolutely nothing illegal about that or against Twitter’s Terms of Service.

    You should fight this.
