Goodbye!
Twitter suspended Christine Fair, the Georgetown professor we told you about yesterday who tweeted about castrating the corpses of entitled white men and feed them to swine:
Twitter has suspended, and perhaps permanently banned, the account of Georgetown Professor C. Christine Fair, apparently due to this tweet: pic.twitter.com/wN2OvrgRcA

Well, liberals have been cheering on the suspension of folks like Alex Jones. Did they not think it would happen to their side?
As @mtaibbi recently wrote of those who have spent 2 years begging Silicon Valley executives to censor political content: "the future is obvious: an endless merry-go-round of political tattling, in which each tribe will push for bans of political enemies." https://t.co/OPdpW5Ontt

This was entirely predictable:
"When I advocated that people be banned and censored, I meant people who said things against my political agenda, not in support of it!. What has gone wrong here???" The cry of censorship advocates for centuries: the people least capable of learning basic lessons.
