Yesterday I published a reminder that GraniteGrok’s Twitter account was still blocked. The same day President Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey over the question of Twitter-Bias.
Great meeting this afternoon at the @WhiteHouse with @Jack from @Twitter. Lots of subjects discussed regarding their platform, and the world of social media in general. Look forward to keeping an open dialogue! pic.twitter.com/QnZi579eFb

The ‘Great Dialogue’ probably included Dorsey saying things like Twitter was not censoring Conservatives, even though there is ample evidence to suggest otherwise.
In July 2018 The Gateway Pundit reported that a study by the leftist website VICE News found that Twitter is censoring top pro-Trump lawmakers. Twitter is targeting pro-Trump Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Devin Nunes, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan and John Ratcliffe with the same shadowbanning technique.
Twitter is also censoring prominent pro-Trump accounts including: Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, Paul Joseph Watson, TGP’s Jim Hoft, TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks and Laura Loomer among others.
Last year Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told the Daily Caller Foundation on Wednesday he is considering filing a FEC complaint over Twitter’s preferential treatment of liberals versus its censoring of prominent conservatives.
In July there was even video proof that President Trump’s Twitter page is being censored.
There are Rules, and there are RULES
Social Media has to be very careful when it comes to limiting political content, especially by candidates or campaigns. There are strict rules for equal media access (equal time, cost, etc.) that could easily be applied to social media access by an ambitious legal team.
“I am contemplating a complaint with the FEC, because if my political opponents have better access to the Twitter platform than I do, that’s no different than a private company giving my political opponents access to a billboard or television time.”https://t.co/U9ORKCEzHo

Twitter is entitled to claim they don’t discriminate but that’s true why was GraniteGrok’s account suspended?
I reported a vote by Politicians in New Zeland to ban private ownership of certain firearms. AP and NPR (to name only two) reported the same news. But our account was targeted and suspended over something the libs at Twitter should want people to hear. Government limiting individual access to guns.
I triggered someone.
So, while we wait for Twitter to unblock our Grok account, I will be posting as much as I can to my own Twitter feed. You are welcome to follow it here.
We’ll let you know if and when the Grok Twitter Account is live again.
