Twitter has spent years assuring the public that it will crack down on trolling, harassment, and violent threats. It’s also pledged to tackle “misinformation” and “unhealthy conversation,” using these loaded terms as excuses to ban a wide range of anti-progressive dissidents from the platform.
But when innocent conservative high school kids are flooded with violent threats, targeted harassment and doxing on the basis of media-promoted misinformation, Jack Dorsey and his staff seem to do nothing — it even briefly promoted the smears.
Over the past 48 hours, an angry mob of Twitter users — many of them with blue check marks next to their name, signaling endorsement of their messages by the company — have flooded the platform with disgusting abuse, violent threats, and calls to harass innocent students of the Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky.
Most of the tweets remain on the platform, which has yet to ask the authors to take them down — much less deverify or ban them, something Twitter has done to conservative activists for far less.

When the progressive scum are in charge again, attacks on real Americans will be tame compared with this. Get out and vote to stop their takeover of our country.
get it yet? who lies? who deceives? do you think that any truth exits there evil vile orifices? so why pay attention to the father of lies his tool and FOOLS who follow and take this satanic gabage for gospel and justification for death..we better pray very hard people, because this country is falling apart at the seams
I hope the hi school takes all the fake news outlets to court. Hit them where it hurts.
A lawsuit is brewing.
Admittedly I too rushed to judgement at first blush. Why? Because the media had edited the video to only show the "confrontational" image. Once the full video was released the truth was known. I am disappointed also that the diocese and Church have not publicly apologized to the students; similar to the Duke rape case isn't it?
