For those who haven't heard, Martin Shkreli (formerly 
Ironically, the reporter is Lauren Duca, the same ignorant angry hypocritical leftist who was recently shredded by Tucker Carlson over her own tweets suggesting it was okay to attack Ivanka Trump with her kids on an airplane.
However, when Shkreli photoshops a picture of his face next to hers, her head exploded as someone dared enter her "safe space" and she runs off crying to twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who unbelievably indulges her crybully temper tantrum and blocks Shkreli from twitter, just as he did with Milo Yiannopoulos, pushing twitter even further along it's impending death spiral.
Oh my, what a terrible horrible thing to do, asking her on a date as his +1 to the Trump inauguration and photoshopping his face on her picture! It's also probably one of the least trollish (and certainly more humorous) things I've seen on twitter or anywhere on social media. And while Shkreli gets banned, Ivanka Trump is trolled and harassed non-stop on the platform (again, with Duca's full support), racial slurs and race baiters abound, and ISIS runs rampant spreading their extremist propaganda...

And of course, twitter didn't ban anyone trolling Shkreli, "the most hated man in America", with any number of the nasty (and outright violent) Shkreli memes going around the past year. In his case, I guess twitter just felt he "deserved" it. Just check out a sampling of the hundreds of them going around social media last year from a simple google search:

Troll the Troll
And perhaps most ironic of all, is that Lauren Duca was the one who first started trolling Shkreli and posting pictures of him on her twitter feed back in August last year after stalking him in a Manhattan bar!

Politics as Usual
So why wasn't she banned? Well, as we learned so well with our own YouTube channel, political leanings certainly seem to play a roll, especially for those who dare use a mainstream platform to "criticize" and "harass" someone on the left...
After the president-elect used Twitter last week to criticize Chuck Jones, an Indiana union leader who represents workers at the Carrier company, Mr. Jones reported receiving a series of threatening phone calls from Mr. Trump’s supporters.

Perhaps the most humorous part of this is the statement Duca made in a TMZ interview, "I'm a nasty woman honey. Don't come message me if you can't handle the fire!"
Yeah, don't come messing with me after I mess with you, or I'll play the weak little victimized crybully and tattle straight to @Jack to protect my "safe space" waaaaaaaaah!
She also released the following statement to The Verge, though she seemed to have forgotten to include her "harassing Ivanka Trump is your social justice duty" and "trolling Donald Trump to eat shit is okay" exception statement:
Martin Shkreli is engaged in targeted harassment, and absolutely deserves to have his account suspended. It’s unfortunate that the only reason people are paying attention is because he’s relatively high-profile. Trolling seems to be an automatic occupational hazard for female writers who receive any level of professional attention. That’s something Twitter needs to work harder to fix, but obviously the problem runs far deeper.
Opportunity
However disgraceful this banning and censorship may seem, it again points to the impending demise of fully centralized social media platforms, and the importance of migrating over to new censorship-resistant models such as steemit. And with the opportunity to be rewarded for the privilege of doing what many are already doing for free on other platforms, is all the more icing on the cake.
For others who see the writing on the wall, consider sharing this and other incentivizing steemit articles with your friends across social media as one more reason to "make the leap". Once more people realize there's really no downside, and worst case they may still end up with a few extra bucks in their pockets to boot, a critical mass will be reached and they'll start flocking over in droves.
And finally, for those who've made it this far, this "debate" was simply to good not throw in:
