'Unplanned' movie causes Twitter explosion

Twitter went ballistic on Sunday after scores of folks were upset because they weren't able to follow the pro-life movie "Unplanned," which was shown in movies over the weekend.

The ongoing "mysterious" problems with the movie's Twitter account come after it was somehow banned on Saturday and was only reinstated later in that day after enough people complained. Twitter did not provide details on why the account was suspended and nobody can imagine why Jack Dorsey, a strong proponent of free speech, would allow such a thing to happen . . . just kidding.

On Sunday, thousands of people noted that every time they tried to follow the movie's account that their Twitter accounts automatically unfollowed the account moments later. 

Is it possible that Twitter advocates infanticide and is afraid to allow people to see the pro-life side of the issue and the rights of those who cannot advocate for themselves?

Actress Patricia Heaton tweeted: 

"Hey @jack - why aren’t you letting me follow @UnplannedMovie ? I’ve tried eight times to support my friend @AbbyJohnson and @Twitter won’t let me. Others are having the same issue. Please correct this. Thank you."

NewsBusters VP Dan Gainor tweeted: 

"What @Twitter is doing now is deliberately aimed at hurting @UnplannedMovie. I hope lawyers go after them. Eh @pnjaban? I'd love to see @jack cope with a few million documents worth of discovery."

Attorney and Fox News contributer Harmeet K. Dhillon tweeted: 

"Twitter is censoring @unplannedmovie and also interfering with the rights on this platform of over 100,000 other Twitter account holders to learn about the film. Who will hold Twitter accountable?"

Guy Benson tweeted: 

"Add me to the list. I’ve now defaulted back to not following @UnplannedMovie several times, despite my efforts to follow the account. @TwitterSupport"

Jason Howerton noted that "Unplanned" was not trending despite tens of thousands of recent tweets.

When will Twitter be considered a publisher and allow all sides a voice to speak?

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
