It is especially hypocritical of Twitter to defend Banks’ threats against Palin considering how the site company taken it upon itself to purge it’s network of “hateful” (i.e. conservative) speech. It’s even more obvious after reading Banks’ initial crude comments and her follow-up racist rant after Palin declared she would pursue legal action:
“Palin has announced that she is suing Banks over the tweets. But she’s unlikely to get any help from the social-media company.
Upon reviewing this complaint, Twitter’s support team shockingly determined that Banks’ calls for a gang rape of Palin—and her encouraging of her supporters to go to Palin’s house and harass her—is not a violation of the company’s Terms of Service.
‘Thank you for your report. Twitter takes reports of this nature very seriously,’ Twitter’s Support team replied in an email back to the original complaint, which was also provided to Breitbart News.
‘We reviewed the content and determined that it was not in violation of the Twitter Rules. We are happy to revisit this decision if you are able to provide further evidence of a violation. Please respond to this email with direct links to the content in question. We understand you might come across content on Twitter that you find offensive. Twitter users are free to post content (even if potentially inflammatory) provided that they don’t violate the Terms of Service or the Twitter Rules.

Twitter’s government, support, and press teams have not responded to follow-up requests for comment from Breitbart News about why they are not enforcing their Terms of Service when it comes to direct threats of violence against Palin.
But the company has come under a significant amount of scrutiny in recent months for an appearance of bias against conservatives, including Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos.”

What type of animal defends gang rape of anyone? I certainly hope Palin wins her suit. Who the heck is Banks anyway?
TWITTER supporting HATE CRIMES! Maybe “TWITTER” needs to be shut down!
No I’m not but free speech and I don’t think any dude would touch her in the first place. I stated she is not a public official. If she is butt hurt she should file. She put herself out out their in 08 by st steins ” I don’t do black guys”. That’s fine but nobody was after her, not all black men like white women.
It doesn’t matter what color your skin is. The rapper nor anyone has the right to be ignorant, rude, disrespectful to anyone. That rapper needs to be locked up& her mouth washed out with soap!
