The tweet, posted July 20, included a hoax meme that said it came from Democrats and encouraged men not to vote in the midterm elections. Woods said he received an email from Twitter on Thursday saying the tweet "has the potential to be misleading in a way that could impact an election." The email said Woods can use his account again if he deletes the tweet, but would be suspended from the social media platform permanently if there are repeated abuses. Woods told The Associated Press Sunday he interpreted the message to mean hell be allowed back on Twitter only if he decides to do what Twitter says. "Free speech is free speech it's not Jack Dorsey's version of free speech," Woods said, referring to Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey. "The irony is, Twitter accused me of affecting the political process, when in fact, their banning of me is the truly egregious interference, Because now, having your voice smothered is much more disturbing than having your vocal chords slit. If you want to kill my free speech, man up and slit my throat with a knife, don't smother me with a pillow." Twitter told the AP that it doesn't comment on individual accounts for privacy and security reasons. A spokesman for the social media platform said by email that he had nothing more to share when asked if Dorsey would respond directly to Wood's comments. His Twitter page is still online, though he can't access it. Many of his recent tweets include his views of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago. Woods, who has more than 1.7 million Twitter followers and is outspoken in his conservative views, believes he was singled out. He said the original tweet was reposted by his girlfriend Friday and had been retweeted thousands of times by Sunday. His girlfriend's account wasn't locked, which he said proves his claim. The meme, posted in July, said #LetWomenDecide and #NoMenMidterm. It claimed to be from a Democratic group, but it was determined to be a hoax campaign to encourage liberal men not to vote in November, according to the website knowyourmeme.com. Woods called it a parody. Woods acknowledged the meme likely wasn't real in the original tweet, saying: "Pretty scary that there is a distinct possibility this could be real. Not likely, but in this day and age of absolute liberal insanity, it is at least possible ..." Social media companies like Twitter have come under pressure to flag hate speech and posts that could influence elections offline. Numerous conservative and right-wing groups have protested that the tech companies disproportionately target them over liberal-leaning groups. Dorsey testified before the GOP-led House Energy and Commerce Committee earlier this month, as the committee examined whether Twitter has censored conservatives. Woods said he wants open discourse, and called the situation a dangerous precedent for free speech. "I wish this were about an unknown Twitter user so that I could be even more passionate about it," Woods said. "This is not about a celebrity being muzzled. This is about an American being silenced one tweet at a time."

Free speech isn't a thing on the internet, people need to accept that. You're using someone's service and they have the right to censor what you say and suspend the service if you go against their rules.

Antifar posted...James Woods' belief in free speech on Twitter is so robust that he sued a guy for $10 million for calling him a cocaine addict I mean, technically yes. True Free Speech would have no restrictions on speech, including libel and slander. But regardless, it shows James Woods is perfectly complacent to spread lies about things he dislikes but not when others do it about him. There is no ethical difference between lying about the behavior of a group of people, such as "Liberals", and lying about an individual's behavior. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...

Both are using known disinformation or unproven allegations to damage a person or people's reputation. The major difference is in U.S. law, one could prove damages in a case of accusation against an individual, but one could not prove damages nor standing in a case against a vague group even if such damages are present. Both, however, are unethical. One is just untenable to enforce in law by practicality, but that does not make it more ethical or excusable, just less punishable. Hence, James Woods criticisms of the platform are hypocritical and despicable in context --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 ...
