Is Twitter's suspension of "Unplanned" account evidence of Social Media's Orwellian Bias & Behavior

IRVINE, Calif., April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today CloutHub, the new social media platform designed specifically to bring people together to discuss key political, social & community issues in a positive manner, calls on social media platforms to stop silencing important political discussion.

Regardless of one's opinion on the issue of abortion, both sides have a right to be heard.

Abortion is a topic very much recently in the news. Virginia's governor recently suggested that babies after being born a live could be terminated. New York recently passed a law allowing abortions up until nine months. Georgia's legislature just passed a bill preventing abortions after a heartbeat has been detected causing Hollywood Big Name Celebs to mount a boycott against Georgia. The "Right to choose" or "Right to Life" question is an important discussion with strong passions on both sides. The action taken by Twitter this morning to suspend the account of the movie "Unplanned" on its debut weekend was completely unacceptable.

"Unplanned," tells the story of a former abortion clinic director Abby Johnson, who changed her mind and became a strong pro-life advocate. The movie depicts her transition. Twitter should not be favoring sides of the debate or putting its hand on the scale to unduly influence the public discussion.

Chuck Konzelman, the co-director and co-writer, stated, "It's a sad state of affairs when the right to free speech gets shut down with the flick of a switch." "It is a sad time we live in when corporations can remove individual's freedom of speech at will. When did we empower these corporations to have such authority? More importantly, why do we empower them to do so?" Cary Solomon, the co-writer and co-director of the film.

Twitter's response was that they suspended by accident and they later restored the account. We hear this response from Twitter all too often and these errors have a propensity to always affect one side of the political debate.

CloutHub's Founder & CEO, Jeff Brain, stated "Today's Social Media is missing an opportunity here to serve society. I have been a civic leader throughout my career. Most social media today are "Look at Me" Sites. I believe there needs to be a platform that is designed to bring people together, where people can share their ideas and views in a positive manner and where people are empowered to connect, debate, express opposing opinions and work toward solutions. This is why I created CloutHub".

CloutHub was designed on four key principles that distinguishes it from today's existing social media platforms;

    1. Restoring Integrity to Social Media - CloutHub neither leans to the left
       or to the right. It is a non-biased site for all positive voices to count
       and make a difference on a level playing field. CloutHub never
       manipulates what users see, does not track user behavior or movements,
       and CloutHub will never sell user information. CloutHub is social media
       people can trust.
    2. A Non-biased, Positive, Healthy & Enjoyable Experience - CloutHub uses
       advanced artificial intelligence to proactively detect inappropriate
       messages and images before they are posted to keep user interaction
       positive and safe. Diverse political speech is welcome but Cyber
       bullying, illegal activity and hate speech are not allowed. All this and
       a specially designed user interface produce a healthy civil discourse
       that positively impacts the well-being of individuals and society.
    3. A one-stop All in one social Media App - Today's Social Media is
       fragmented. CloutHub takes the best of what users want from Social Media
       and consolidates it all into a single app. CloutHub users will be able to
       socialize, receive their news, share updates with friends and family,
       express themselves, make new connections and more. Users will no longer
       need to have multiple platforms.
    4. Using Social Media to Restore Power to the People - CloutHub is the first
       platform that uses the full power of social media to empower people to
       influence the issues affecting their lives, communities and society. We
       give users tools, processes and resources that connect people to solve
       problems, defend their freedoms, hold their leaders accountable and
       create a better world. CloutHub will forever change the way people
       interact on the important political, social and community issues.

CloutHub is the people's response to the privacy and speech problems associated with Facebook, Twitter and others. CloutHub is Social Media Done Right and With A Purpose!
