Twitter has locked the account of Raheem Kassam – Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse and co-host of the War Room: Pandemic podcast – for sharing “media depicting the moment of death of an individual.”
Kassam’s original – and now censored – tweet read:
BREAKING (GRAPHIC): Multiple people reported stabbed. Some reports of fatalities in vicinity of a Black Lives Matter protest in Reading, UK.
While users can still see the account, Kassam can no longer access his account or share new content with his over 210,000 followers. Three days after the post in question was shared, Kassam received the following message:
In short, Kassam’s post allegedly violated Twitter’s proscriptions against sharing “content of deceased individuals” with either the “intent to abuse” or being “excessively gory.”
Pointing to the social media platform’s double standard regarding George Floyd content, Kassam told The National Pulse:
“As a REAL news person, you deeply think about — every time — whether or not you’re showing something people don’t need to see. On balance I made the calculation that there was serious breaking news that would aid the public during a terror attack in England. This is the same thought people had when the shared the George Floyd video. They wanted people to know the truth and tweeted it. But for some reason, the Floyd death remains up on twitter but the deaths of three white men at the hands of a Libyan asylum seeker must come down? People can draw their own conclusions.”
The lock follows a barrage of National Pulse exclusives exposing tech companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Google for what they are: bastions of hardcore left-wing activists intent on weaponizing their platforms to influence the 2020 election and beyond. Some highlights include:
Twitter Hires Chinese Communist Party-Linked AI Expert Who Wanted To Hide ‘Secret’ Weapons Contracts
Google’s Go-To ‘Conservative’ Influencer List Who Claim ‘Big Tech Bias Is A Good Thing’
But yeah, big tech isn’t biased…
