In light of the news today in the @WSJ that @jack personally intervened to keep Alex Jones on @Twitter, we’re re-upping this op-ed we wrote last week about this exact subject in the @Guardian. https://t.co/Aj0JQlfKAP

Speaking as someone who has been harassed and doxxed by racist shitheads on this platform, @TwitterSupport is a total failure at dealing with harassment. A company that doesn’t care to deal with the harassment of Sandy Hook parents surely won’t give a crap about the rest of us. https://t.co/cUngMDlND2

1) Announce Steve Bannon as a speaker at your conference. 2) Sell some tickets. 3) Receive massive outrage. 4) Sell more tickets. 5) Say you’re going to challenge him. 6) Sell more tickets. 7) Allow Bannon to ignore questions and spew bullshit for two hours. 8) Rinse, repeat.

UNBELIEVABLE!! NOW THE @NewYorker?? HOW MANY TIMES DO THESE PUBLICATIONS NEED TO DO THIS? STEVE BANNON IS HUMAN CLICKBAIT. He’s not employed. He no longer holds any position of note. He’s just a racist. Stop giving him air! https://t.co/KgShAjKXZx

There are 523 kids still separated from their parents who don’t give a shit who wrote that op-ed.

@TheBeatWithAri Ari, this man told people to wear their racism “like a badge of honor”, he ran a website with a “Black Crime” section, he backed an alleged child molester for Congress and he is no longer even relevant. Why would you give this man a platform?

Tonight, Tucker Carlson equated illegal immigrants to trash. Last week, Laura Ingraham’s diatribe on “changing demographics” was essentially lifted from David Duke. Fox has not addressed either, nor do they intend to. Advertisers on those shows have not left.
KenAshford (@KenAshford)
@DanRather It is a network that is actively pushing hatred. Hatred of the working people of this country, hatred of people of color, hateed of Muslims, hatred of immigrants and hatred of the LGBTQ community. Why any advertisers continue to support this is difficult to understand.

Anti-Muslim twitter user’s tweets never get removed. Reporter who wrote article about it is doxxed. Reporter gets suspended. This is a fucking travesty and why no one can trust @jack and @TwitterSafety when they say that they’re working to deal with hate on their platform. https://t.co/GeMXxuCt7a

@slpng_giants 1) Announce Steve Bannon as a speaker at your conference. 2) Sell some tickets. 3) Receive massive outrage. 4) Claim people on both sides are good 6) Thousands cancel subs 7) Investigators find out top people at New Yorker received gobs of cash deposited to secret offshore LLC’s

@newyorkerlive Now @NewYorker is in the business of clickbait?? Bannon has done more to destroy the free press and vilify immigrants than anyone in this country. If you want to sell a few extra tickets on the backs of minorities and immigrants, mission accomplished.

FOR FUCK’S SAKE IS THERE A FUCKING OUTLET THAT WON’T PUT THIS FUCKING NAZI ON STAGE TO SELL SOME FUCKING TICKETS? https://t.co/I1FdIcyugc

.@TheEconomist has doubled down on the idea that radical xenophobia and racism are points of view that needs to be heard. They are not. Bannon is, at best, human clickbait in order to sell tickets. We hope that other speakers in this conference will reconsider taking the stage. https://t.co/vqYrNI0NIg

WHAT???? Sorry, but when one of the greatest, most articulate writers of our time is kicked off @Twitter, but everyone from a woman who harasses Muslims on an hourly basis to real life Nazis espousing race war get to stay, this platform is truly fucked. Ridiculous, @jack. https://t.co/acqifb9dB0

When @AoDespair gets banned for arguing a point and Alex Jones keeps his @verified status (and Twitter account) after claiming Anthony Bourdain was murdered by the “Deep State” mere hours after his suicide, something is seriously wrong with your platform, @jack. https://t.co/7ZNBEhQgKO

@NewYorker A well written and considered letter, but the fact remains that not only did you invite him, you announced him as the headliner. This was a cynical ploy to sell tickets. There are many, many people who could draw a crowd. You just chose the racist one with the bad ideas.

You think Breitbart is bad? Just wait until Bannon’s hand-picked shitlord takes over Voice Of America. Call your Congresspeople and ask them to block this nomination. Our country’s public broadcasting unit should not be led by Michael Pack. https://t.co/LLeRw2eGZm

Unreal. This is a travesty. @jack has done more to protect racists and conspiracy theorists on this platform than the people who they harass. Never bought into the idea that he’s a racist himself, but his positions make it easy to make that argument https://t.co/Q0l6W0BMzX… https://t.co/VTMetOsHzq

This isn’t cause for celebration. The fact that they booked Steve Bannon in the first place is a sign that the media continues to beclown themselves by booking and covering this professional edgelord. His opinion doesn’t mean dick. His only platform is the one they hand him. https://t.co/rGnvgUChnK

A big shoutout to @nike and @LEVIS today for taking their stands against bigotry and violence. It isn’t easy for large corporations to make bold calls like this. Almost impossible, actually. But for those who do, the long term benefits will far outweigh the early backlash. Thanks
suesue_d (@suesue_d)
It isn’t easy for people to take a stand in these situations, but since The @NewYorker is giving a platform to an admitted racist, we hope these other speakers make their voices heard on this. This is how bigotry is normalized. Now is the time to stand up. https://t.co/3nySc6b5pZ

Open racism and xenophobia should not be tolerated, let alone bought and paid for by corporations looking to advertise their goods. And, yet, it’s happening before our eyes. We would hope that advertisers begin to see that this is not about politics, but about degrading humans.
redcap34 (@redcap34)
Good. If these events insist on booking the racist human clickbait that is Steve Bannon just to stoke outrage to sell more tickets, then the people with real, pertinent things to say should back out. Well done. https://t.co/dt7AiVIGJd
