The madness continues at Twitter. @jordanbpeterson has been suspended for this tweet about Ellen Web page. He simply informed me he’ll “by no means” delete the tweet.

“The madness continues at Twitter,” stated Rubin. “[Jordan Peterson] has been suspended for this tweet about Ellen Web page. He simply informed me he’ll “by no means” delete the tweet. Paging [Elon Musk]…”
In its message to Peterson, Twitter stated his account had been locked for “hateful conduct,” together with the now-common sight of Twitter’s guidelines on the matter: “it’s possible you’ll not promote violence in opposition to, threaten, or harass different folks on the premise of race, ethnicity, nationwide origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender id, spiritual affiliation, age, incapacity, or critical illness.”
It’s unclear whether or not the censorship of Peterson’s account was brought on by the bestselling creator utilizing Ellen Web page’s authentic identify, criticizing the notion of “satisfaction,” or calling the surgeon who operated on Web page a felony — or all three.
