The Left-fascists who run Twitter and the other social media giants love Islam, but the jihadis will still not spare them.
“Twitter locks journalist’s account after she tweeted about Jihadis and Islamists threatening her brother in Kashmir,” OpIndia, December 18, 2021:
On the 15th of December, journalist Aarti Tikoo, a Kashmiri Pandit herself, took to Twitter to raise alarm about Islamic terrorists from Kashmir issuing death threats to her brother. Two days later, on the 17th of December, Twitter India, the social media giant, decided to “lock” Aarti Tikoo’s account. The notice that Aarti got said that she could “unlock” her account if she deleted the tweet about her brother getting threats.
Aarti Tikoo had tweeted, “My brother @TikooSahil_ who lives in Srinagar, is being openly threatened by jihadi terrorists sitting in Kashmir-India, and their handlers in Pakistan, UK and US. Is anyone watching? Are we sitting ducks waiting to be shot dead by Islamists or will you crackdown on them?”. Saying this, Tikoo had tagged the Home Minister Office’s handle on Twitter.
Twitter, for some odd reason, decided that this tweet raising alarm over her brother getting threats violated their community standards. In the notice that Tikoo got to delete the tweet, Twitter deemed this tweet as targeting a group of people, threatening them or harassing them.
In the notice, Twitter said, “You may not promote violence against, threaten or harass other people on the basis of race, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or serious disease”.
The notice further said that she had to delete her tweet, thereby acknowledging that her tweet violated Twitter rules.
When Twitter locks the account due to tweets that they believe violate their community standards, Twitter “locks” the account. This essentially restricts the users from Tweeting anything unless they delete the tweet in question, acknowledging that they violated Twitter rules. There is a provision to appeal the disputed tweet, but Twitter either hardly responds or responds upholding their division, no matter how inexplicable.
In this instant too, Aarti Tikoo seems to have tweeted nothing that would go against Community standards. In fact, she raised alarm about her brother getting death threats. Twitter perhaps locked her account deeming that the use of the word “Jihadi” or “Islamist” was against religion, religious affiliation, or community that Twitter wishes to protect. Here, Twitter seems to have deemed a tweet, raising alarm over death threats, hateful to the people who were issuing the threats….

Welcome to the new world order !!
I wonder how long we have to resign and accept DHIMMITUDE.
Don McKellar says
Twitter was being run by a peyote head, but he turned over the keys to an unapologetic racist. Left-fascist politics is the common denominator between them. About the only thing that’s going to fix this situation would be for a change in the laws protecting them from what they fully deserve. That won’t be happening for at least another three years.
Keith O says
The other possibility is that the twatter watch dog who locked her account has a last name something like Habib, Mustapha or Mohammed.
Boycott Turkey says
Twitter is getting shitter I deleted that app ages ago I hope her brothers ok I heard her on one of the YouTube’s podcast talking about the proposed islamophobia bill that’s about to pass she’s very educated
Infidel says
Like I’ve said, I have no sympathy for people on our side who still maintain accounts on the Leftist Social Media, such as Facebook or Twitter. I deleted my account 3 years ago when they tried to censor me: I had the same reaction as Aarti Tikoo. I do have accounts on Gab and Gettr, but hardly find myself using them much.
I also have a Rumble account, which is what I default use for content that’s there both on YouTube and Rumble. YouTube is only a fallback thing I have, but if I were a content creator, it would all be on Rumble. I saw RS mention yesterday to Vibhuti Jha that he could be gone from Social Media any time. I just don’t get why all of JW content ain’t on Rumble, Gab and Gettr already, so that Zuck and Agrawal can’t do a thing to him. OANN left YouTube for good, it should be even easier for JW

Infidel, Jihad Watch maintains Facebook and Twitter accounts, because Robert Spencer is intent on reaching as many people as possible.
Infidel says
Thereby empowering Facebook and Twitter to shut him down whenever they feel like it
gravenimage says
Youy can certainly castigate Robert Spencer for trying to reach as many people as possible if you so desire.
Boycott Turkey says
I deleted all social media Facebook YouTube and Twitter I still have the YouTube app but deleted the account I can only watch videos on YouTube JW is the only site I been posting on lately I been in rumble but it’s not very big and not got a lot of videos to see I tried to open a account on parlour but they wanted my phone number to create a account I didn’t feel comfortable giving my details so I didn’t open one

India: Journalist tweets about jihadis threatening her brother, Twitter locks her account
………………
So now it’s not just saying something critical about Islam that gets you banned–bad enough–but saying something critical about *Jihad terrorists*. Good god.
More:
In the notice, Twitter said, “You may not promote violence against, threaten or harass other people on the basis of race, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or serious disease”.
………………
Talk about projection! Talking about being threatened by Jihadists is *not* the same as threatening them. But then, we see this ludicrous moral switching all the time.
Hence, Anti-Jihadists can be accused of inciting violence merely for reporting on the violence of others.
Boycott Turkey says
Gravenimage the Twitter notice is a oxymoron because the reason we speak out against jihadist is because they are the ones who discriminate against other religions race Gender and sexual orientation Twitter is racist to ban people speaking out against it
gravenimage says
Anti-Jihadists come in all races, but I take your point.
PMK says
Maybe this woman should experiment with her account. What if she deleted the tweet and reposted without the last sentence: Are we sitting ducks waiting to be shot dead by Islamists or will you crackdown on them?”.
Twitter must have algorithms like Facebook. They are generic in nature and probably interpret the last sentence as a threat. “will you crackdown on them?” certainly sounds like a call for violence, even if she didn’t mean it that way.
The problem is these censoring algorithms are incapable of recognizing nuance.
Infidel says
I don’t think algorithms are that advanced. In fact, Twitter and Facebook employ thousands of Leftists, and it’s they who go over tweets and delete or shadow-ban anything they disagree w/. The companies just blame the algorithms to skate past the oversight by Congress and others
gravenimage says
Advocating cracking down on Jihadists threatening people is not a call for violence.
