Twitter Permanently Suspends Jim Hoft, Proprietor of Conspiracy-Peddling Pro-Trump Blog, The Gateway Pundit

Another pro-Trump Twitter account bit the dust on Saturday: Jim Hoft, the proprietor of the right-wing blog The Gateway Pundit, was permanently banned from the social media network.

News of Hoft’s suspension broke earlier this evening, with many journalists commenting on The Gateway Pundit’s penchant for publishing unproven claims and conspiracy theories. Hoft and the other writers on his site have been staunch defenders of former President Donald Trump, including promoting some of his baseless claims of election fraud and other misinformation.

I'm not sure there's a bigger hack on the web than Hoft.

2. The right wing is out of control.

It is far past time something was done about it.

3. Although they let it get too far

I am glad to see all the Twitter suspensions lately of the right-wing seditionists who are using the platform for evil. If only the same could be done to FOX, Rush, etc.

9. Social media is a sewer

and should've cleaned up long ago.

Humanity really is going to have a hard time coming to grips with our new computerized reality, as The Social Dilemma outlines.

The idea behind information sharing and the internet was that logic and truth would eventually win out. We see that this is clearly not the case, and that conspiracy theories and extremism quickly take over any space they're allowed to exist in.

10. Good. Gateway Pundit is vile.
