what happened to @rsmccain's twitter account? #freestacy
— Diana West (@diana_west_) February 20, 2016
Strong reaction to the suspension of conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain (@RSMcCain), whose Twitter feed has over 80,000 followers, had #FreeStacy trending overnight”:
So @twitter has suspended @rsmccain. RT if you want to #freestacy. @support

Wow, @twitter @Support. This is ridiculous. Why hate conservatives, @jack? Stop being politics police. #freestacy https://t.co/ZUhmpt4xP5

@rsmccain talked tough but he only gave good as he got. I'll be dropping from @twitter if @Support doesn't #FreeStacy & I won't be the only

@instapundit @twitter @rsmccain #freestacy Hey stock analysts, did Twitter just give 81,800 users the middle finger?

Naive I guess, but I didn't know Twitter manipulated hashtags & trends like this #FreeStacy https://t.co/SzDrroQW1l pic.twitter.com/xsrxsGyb6T

@twitter’s “Trust & Safety” Council cannot be trusted & makes Twitter unsafe for non-approved PoVs. @support @jack #FreeStacy

Now Twitter has silenced @rsmccain. Eventually they will come for you too.#RIPTwitter

I'm getting so tired of the overt political bias/hatred of free speech by @twitter @Support and @jack.
Alternatives wanted.#freestacy

The banning of @rsmccain is a test case, b/c he never swore or threatened: It proves that Twitter bans people PURELY for opinions #FreeStacy

Funny Twitter comes out with the Twitter Safety Council during an election years, and starts to target Cons. #freestacy
— Angela (@Mellecon) February 20, 2016
Twitter wants to tell everyone what they can't write. Unless they agree with your opinion…complete garbage. #freestacy

I'm not a conservative, in fact I disagree with them on many things. However, I still respect their freedom of speech. #freestacy

As @rsmccain is banned, a SJW tag is pushed on timelines. Is this in $TWTR shareholder's best interest? #FreeStacy pic.twitter.com/CgeUu1kk7D

Time to revive the Logan Valley doctrine & hold that Twitter is a public free speech space (like a town square)? Just a thought #freestacy
— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) February 20, 2016
We at Twitter's #TheMinistryOfTrustandSafety only allow THIS much free speech per day, per account. #FreeStacy pic.twitter.com/0pFUleg36F

The purge has begun. Conservative Robert Stacy McCain has been wiped from social justice twitter. https://t.co/imIzInOqxJ
— Scott Greenfield (@ScottGreenfield) February 20, 2016
@ScottGreenfield @Cernovich Any idea what he said that got him suspended yet?
— Lyle Yiannopoulos (@Lyde15) February 20, 2016
@Lyde15 @Cernovich Not a clue. He's a strong voice, but hardly threatening.

Users were reminded about McCain’s other account:
Folks, R.S. McCain is tweeting at his backup book account, @SexTroubleBook. #FreeStacy @Support
— Donald Douglas (@AmPowerBlog) February 20, 2016
If you followed @rsmccain you can now find him at @SexTroubleBook

Why was McCain suspended? He’s not sure:

As of Saturday morning the suspension of @RSMcCain is still in place.
