Remember when Jack Dorsey told everyone (even Congress!) there is no political bias on his website?
Good times.
Granted, we all knew he was full of crap when he made the claim but still. Otherwise, why would Twitter be banning ads from pro-life accounts like Lila Rose and Live Action?
Twitter banned @LiveAction & my account from all ads. When we asked why, @Twitter said we could resume ads, only if we deleted the following content from our Twitter AND website:
-Anything about abortion procedures
-Investigations of Planned Parenthood
-All ultrasound images— Lila Rose (@LilaGraceRose) June 4, 2019
So basically, any content that tells the truth about the horrors of abortion must be removed from their site and Twitter feeds for the ban to be lifted.
What a crock.

From USAToday:
Twitter’s reasoning for blocking Live Action’s message? In emails to us, the company has said that our content violated its sensitive advertising content policy, which prohibits “inflammatory or provocative content which is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.”
Some examples of this supposedly offensive content include pictures of children developing in the womb and even simple ultrasound images of babies — like the ones that expectant parents hang on their refrigerator doors.
Twitter’s actions suggest it’s OK for Planned Parenthood to tweet that a woman has a right to an abortion, but when I tweet and try to promote that a baby has a right to life, Twitter considers that inflammatory.
Twitter’s actions suggest it’s fine for Planned Parenthood to tweet that taxpayers who don’t want to fund the nation’s largest abortion chain are “extremists,” but when I tweet that there are alternative options to Planned Parenthood, Twitter calls that an offensive violation of policy.
Notice they’re not censoring the harpies pushing abortion up to and including birth.

@jack if slavery were still prominent and @LilaGraceRose posted pictures of whipping scars to bring attention to evils of slavery, would you limit her Twitter advertising postential due to intense images that invoke negativity? Twitter is going to be on wrong side of hx…

How dare Lila and her organization tell the truth about abortion.
Twitter is not pro life
