Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Twitter gave Saudi Arabia information about journalist; he was arrested and died after torture

Nov 10, 2018 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Twitter has become insecure for dissidents or critics. Everyone speaks under threat and pressure.”

Indeed. Foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression are shadowbanned (as in my case) or have their accounts removed altogether. Clearly, as this story shows, Twitter is on the other side, and increasingly only one point of view is allowed there, as with the other social media giants as well. People will say “Just don’t go to Twitter,” but it isn’t that simple. Unfortunately, these evil corporations have a virtual monopoly on the means of communication today. If that monopoly is not soon broken, the freedom of speech will be a dead letter, sacrificed to “hate speech guidelines” that are subjective and politically biased.

“Twitter ‘gave Saudi Arabia information about journalist who ended up dead,’” by Lucy Middleton, Metro, November 9, 2018:

Twitter has come under fire after another dissident journalist was reportedly tortured and killed in Saudi Arabia.

Turki Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Jasser was arrested on March 15 for allegedly running a Twitter account called Kashkool, which exposed human rights violations by Saudi authorities and royals.

He then died while being tortured in detention, The New Khaleej states – prompting fresh outrage over an alleged leak of information that lead to his capture.

‘They got his information from the Twitter office in Dubai. That is how he was arrested,’ a source, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Metro.co.uk.

‘Twitter has become insecure for dissidents or critics. Everyone speaks under threat and pressure.

‘The accounts of Saudi dissidents are spied on. We are not safe using Twitter.’

The source also claimed that Saud al-Qahtani, the former adviser to the Royal Court, leads a ‘cyber spy ring’ and has contacts inside the Dubai Twitter office. They allege that a so-called ‘Twitter mole’ handed over information on Al-Jasser, leading to his arrest earlier this year….

    More evidence as to the true evil nature of Islam. KSA is now temporarily on our side in the war with Iran, but our elites are on the side of the Muslims in the war they are waging on western civilization. The death toll and loss of freedom from the refusal to accept that Islam is a Conquest Ideology will continue to mount.

      Is there any doubt that the Agency owns Microsoft/Apple/Facebook/Goggle/Twitter and Amazon? And the Agency is just an enforcement Arm of the Globalist Scum!

      As I have said many times, there is NOOOOO difference between Western liberal establishment, including media establishment and ISIS and Al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabia! They love and support one another, they work together to demonize, discredit, arrest and murder their opponents!

      Western liberal establishment+Al-Qaeda+Saudi Arabia=ISIS!

      Hate them ALL!

        What Twitter did here was disgusting bowing to authoritarianism. But it was not Twitter that tortured this journalist to death, as christianblood pretends.

        Moreover, he is fine with Russia murdering journalists–he is no champion of the free press.

    Isn’t over 50% of twitter owned by a Saudi Prince (can’t remember his name)? This should come as no surprise at all.

    • gravenimage says

      Not quite, but still very troubling:

      “This Saudi prince now owns more of Twitter than Jack Dorsey does”

      I am no fan of of Islamist Khashoggi–I am even less a fan of his being tortured to death, though. All of this is hideous Muslim savagery.

      • patriotliz says

        Nov 12, 2018 at 6:43 pm

        When I posted this concerning Khashoggi on Twitter:
        “@realDonaldTrump @StateDept @SecPompeo Muslims kill other Muslims…nothing unusual. FAKE outrage from Leftists #Democrats who didn’t care about #Benghazi and that involved American citizens”
        This tweet was cited as “hateful conduct” and had to delete it. My account was subsequently suspended because I continue to voice a negative opinion about the heinous conduct by the followers of Muhammad. The ongoing torture, persecution and murder of millions of Christians by Muslims is totally ignored in the WEST, Why should I get specifically “outraged” when Muslims kill other Muslims? But the Tech Tyrants cooperating w/ that evil makes them just as evil.

    We need competition for these monopolistic social media giants. I am not a techie but I am pretty sure there is or soon to be some technology out there to compete with these socialist companies.

    • Mac-101 says

      Nov 10, 2018 at 11:58 am

      The BIG question is why THEY will NOT allow competition. Look at what THEY did to GAB. Facebook and Tweeter are full of Jihadist and sick violent people and organizations, but let an idiot do something comprising an infinitesimal % of the Free Speech movement and THEY shut it down!

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 10, 2018 at 1:48 pm

        Mac, I believe Gab is still around:

        https://gab.ai/

        I know they have been castigated for saying “All are Welcome”, though.

        • Mac-101 says

          Nov 11, 2018 at 12:15 am

          They must found another support server/platform then. Last week they were dropped by their main one and no one would pic them up. I don’t have any need for any services like Facebook or GAB.

        • patriotliz says

          Nov 12, 2018 at 6:29 pm

          I’m a Free Speech refugee from the Twitter Nazis and migrated to GAB and can denounce the IDEOLOGY of Islam on GAB w/o being suspended. I encounter Jew hating neo-Nazis but just mute them. I don’t need Big Brother censoring anything for me. If that were needed then why doesn’t Hollywood censor pornography which is offensive to me? Why don’t they censor all the hate speech against Trump supporters which is offensive and is a physical threat to me if I should walk around wearing a MAGA hat?

      Sam

      US government won’t allow any one competing with their social media giants which serves as their propaganda tool! You remember what happened to Julian Assange, the wikileaks founder and how he is forced to hide in the Nicaraguan embassy in London for seven years, denied even to get any medical attention! Do you think that is an accident? What about Edward Snowden and others who tried to do something about the social media giants monopoly on information?

    This is just appalling. Is this naivite–or something worse? Will Twitter now change their policy? Don’t hold your breath…

    I’ve been banned by Twitter for “hateful conduct” for describing heinous conduct committed in the name of Allah. Islam is the most evil ideology ever invented by humans—far surpasses Hitlerian Nazism and Communism in the number of genocides worldwide over past 1400 years and continues to this day.
    All the Tech Tyrants, except for GAB, are on the side of the “evildoers” in the world….Communism, Islamic totalitarianism and Globalist Leftist totalitarians. Tech Tyrants are the “New Orwellian State.”
