Nets Blackout Twitter Shutting Down Blackburn Campaign Video
Update: I believe, after much criticism, the item discussed here may have now been restored...
At NewsBusters.org, Nicholas Fondacaro reported:
"Nets Blackout Twitter Shutting Down Blackburn Campaign Video"
A spokesperson for the social media company told the campaign’s vendors that Blackburn’s talk of stopping the sale of baby body parts was “deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction.” And if the campaign wanted to be allowed to promote the advertisement, that part had to be taken out. Unironically, Twitter’s own advertising policy declared that company “provides a platform for its users to share and receive a wide range of ideas and content, and we greatly value and defend our users' ability to express themselves."
