Tim Swain, the South Carolina Senate candidate, had his account locked by Twitter for allegedly violating the Big Tech platform’s policy on Covid misinformation.
Swain, who is running in the primary against current Senator Tim Scott, was subject to a 12 hour lock on Twitter earlier this week for tweeting the following: “My younger son turned 4 today. Half his life already has been during the plandemic. I’m so over hearing about Covid and vaccines. Feels like it’ll never end! If only the vax makers were liable for injuries I’ll bet that would change things quick!”
While the tweet may seem innocuous, Swain received an email from Twitter claiming that the tweet from December violated their policy on “spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.” The same reason was given by the Big Tech platform for permanently suspending Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene earlier this week. Well, I’m out of twitter jail. This is the tweet that had me suspended. Lame. pic.twitter.com/agEHZMANGp — Tim Swain (@SwainForSenate) January 6, 2022 In a statement to National File, Swain said that the ban came as a surprise to him because he has been “very careful” with what he tweeted about since new Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal took over from Jack Dorsey in November and “started purging” conservative accounts from the platform in mass ban waves.
“In a fair world this would be election interference,” Swain added. “But the man who is the money behind Twitter, Paul Singer, supports and honors my primary opponent Tim Scott, so to me this seems like a contribution on behalf of Tim Scott from Twitter/Singer. Further evidence we must break up Big Tech and the influence they have over our society and systems.”
Singer is the founder of Elliot Management, the investment firm with a stake in Twitter. […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
