#FreeSargon: Twitter Suspends YouTuber For Trolling Tweeting Out Gay Porn

Twitter suspended the account of a popular YouTuber who goes by the name “Sargon of Akkad” on Friday. At first, it was thought that the suspension was due to his Tweet at an EU official with a question about Europe’s current immigration policies Sargon has since admitted that the suspension is possibly due to trolling people with gay porn.

Sargon suggested he was suspended for sharing his criticism of Islam in a Tweet to the high representative to EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Fedrica Mogherini.

Mogherini tweeted, “#holocaustrememberance: A peaceful and diverse Europe it is everyone’s interest and responsibility.”

Sargon responded,“Hasn’t mass Islamic immigration to Europe drastically raised the odds of terror attacks, though?”

However, Sargon noted that Twitter has yet to give him a reason for the suspension.

“I have no idea why and no reason has been given so far,” Sargon said.

Sargon was conversing with We Are Change’s founder, Luke Rudkowski, when he was suspended.

Twitter user “@yung_domon” posted a Tweet Friday afternoon claiming that he reported Sargon of Akkad’s account after it mentioned him in a Tweet that contained a pornographic image:

Twitter has been a proponent, as of late, of banning some accounts it deems to have used “hate speech,” while ignoring others.

Suspending a user for proposing a question now, though, even if it is a question that no one wants to face, raised the question: Are we living in the paradigm of 1984? It was a fictional book, not an instruction manual for big social to follow to ban anyone they disagree with.
