The President has attacked free speech. Jim Acosta and CNN are suing the President. The attack on free speech has been taken up by Facebook, Google, Twitter all owned by alphabet and others. They are claiming community standards as a reason to eliminate their enemies. In doing this, they themselves destroy and trample free speech while they can shape the public discourse.
Twitter has locked my account. This means that I can no longer: 1, Ican't tweet, 2, I can't read your tweets. 3, I can't access any tweet I've written. 4, I'm blocked by twitter when I'm referred to a tweet online.
This is my tweet Twitter calls abusive:"Bill Cosby didn't have to use pills to have sex with these Whores. They brag about their sexual conquests and used Cosby as reference in Hollywood! I believe that Cosby is a Necrophiliac, a pervert like @POTUS",

Letter to Twitter 11/15/18
I'm not actually appealing my locked account. The account was locked for no good reason. While you may think my tweet offensive, I think not! and I believe most adults would agree.
You claim my tweet was abusive ... I ask How!, in what way? I believe that Trump is a pedofile and I believe that Bill Cosby is a necrophiliac.
Am I not allowed my opinion?
Twitter refuses to say which word, pharse or sentence is abusive and why? If Twitter is going to operate based on community standards then I ask what community? whose standards? Certainly Not the American standard of Free speech, with the exception of yelling Fire! in a crowded theatre. So my question is: who is in the so-called community? I believe it is, in fact, a small # of people directing mathematicians to write an analog to filter out things the "small # of executives object to.
So if we desire to know the community we are talking about then we must know what religion they are or not. We need to know what culture they come from. These people believe in free speech for themselves and friends who agree with them.
Until this point I have limited myself to this one issue. But! there are many other issues such as blocking my ability to access the tweets of others when I'm referred to an internet page. Twitter has not only blocked my access to all tweets, it has also blocked my access of my followers tweets. In other words Twitter has not only blocked me from tweeting they have blocked me from reading other peoples view.
This morning on "The View" they had a screensht of a tweet by the vile Donald Trump, a man I blocked when he first started running. I didn't tell him not to tweet, I didn't bar him from reading others tweets and I didn't bar him from access to all of his tweets for his coming history.
Donald Trump doesn't know and doesn't care if I've blocked him or not. And, that's OK. Mr Trump and anyone who doesn't like my muse can block me.
I'm writing this letter not because I'm begging you for anything except free speech! and if you are truly American you'll agree.
PS. I'm a slow starter so I'm sharpening my claws by writing this series of letters. I.m also going to send a copy to "The View" and to Mr Acosta of CNN. Unlike TWITTER ,Americans value free speech and are willing to fight for it.
Respectfully,
Robert M Ramstad
This is a problem for all Americans. By replacing American values with corporate values.
Can You help me? I do have a 'Go Fund Me Account' But I don't know how to promote it.
I am willing and want to join any class action lawsuit against Twitter and pledge that any money I may raise go into a mutual pot that we might correct twitters desire to shape opinion to whatever goals the TWITTER CEO's wants.
