I can understand the problems with nude pictures, but can you get barred for encouraging people to check out a sex tape that doesn't exist?

Quite the conundrum when dealing with Trump.

So the shadowed hand of Big Brother descends on the Twitterverse.... they are a private company so they can do what they want, I guess. They will have to be careful about being too obvious about leaning a certain way politically in how they choose to self censor.

Never used the service myself- anything that can be said in less than 140 characters probably isn't worth saying.
