"Tom Nelson & Steve Goddard suspension, a reminder Twitter's part of the Establishment"

Planetary Vision: Tom Nelson & Steve Goddard suspension, a reminder Twitter's part of the Establishment

I was inspired by Tom Nelson to utilise Twitter a lot to express my climate views. I know Twitter is public, and anyone can see it. But this supension's a timely reminder that Twitter is also an organ of the establishment. They monitor and surveille, and will shut up free speech if their schemes such as global warming are threatened.

Tom Nelson is an important account for us climate sceptics and not having it damages Twitter's credibility as a platform for free speech, and for an open exchange of views.

Although in the scheme of things it will statistically be just be a blip for a company as large as Twitter if sceptics boycott en masse, it will be a blow to the Twitter brand.

I VERY much appreciate the idea of boycotting Twitter, but since I think that's Mann et al's dream, let's not do it.
