The libs are controlling the language and brainwashing their minions with Orwellian strategies.

Twitter Rejects Ad With Phrase 'Illegal Alien,' Calls Term 'Hateful Content,' Group Claims

Yesterday Twitter rejected four Center for Immigration Studies tweets for use in the Center's Twitter Ads campaign, alleging hateful content. (Several others were approved.) All four tweets use the statutory phrases "illegal alien" or "criminal alien", and all of the tweets referenced law enforcement, either at the border or in the interior. One of the tweets contained a powerful Daily Caller video showing illegal aliens in camouflage carrying large backpacks across the border unimpeded....

Twitter's only response to an inquiry about why promotion of the tweets was rejected: "We've reviewed your tweets and confirmed that it is ineligible to participate in the Twitter Ads program at this time based on our Hateful Content policy. Violating content includes, but is not limited to, that which is hate speech or advocacy against a protected group."

(Center For Immigration Studies)

Wow. Just wow.

What part of "illegal alien" do they deem hateful? The "illegal" part or the "alien" part? I can't find anything hateful or even derogatory in the dictionary definition, can you?

noun: alien; plural noun: aliens

1. a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living.

"an illegal alien"

Twiiter is run by jackasses (assuming they are not members of this board, in which case they are fine people)

Is that term acceptable in this forum? I'm pretty sure the term appears in govt literature.

Like I said, if the mid-terms don't flip the House and Senate, start looking at action against these Social Media/Social Justice sites.

OR saying that some Trump worker's kids need to be kidnapped and handed over to scumbags (as was done a few weeks back towards several female workers).. Twitter supposedly banned the two people saying it, but they were promptly back to posting their hate, 3 days later.
