Atheist vlogger Thunderf00t reports that Jordan Owen, Slade Villena, and Mykeru were "all suspended from twitter for no reason." Jordan Owen is the co-producer of the documentary The Sarkeesian Effect, a critique of the methods of controversial vlogger Anita Sarkeesian. Mykeru is the producer of The Block Bot and the Dumbification of the Beeb, a critique of the BBC Newsnight segment "Talking to the Twitter Trolls and those Who Study them". Slade Villena is a former writer for Gamasutra and the founder of indie game developer Rogue Star Games.
Thunderf00t himself was suspended from Twitter for two weeks in September for unclear reasons. At that time Twitter had also banned the account of "The Camera Lady", the researcher for a video series accusing award-winning developer Phil Fish and the Independent Games Festival of racketeering.

As Harvard and other big universities dumb down and plainly do not teach "social responsibility" to their students for a while now, could this be the general effect? That when a small start up hires MBA's taught from those places suddenly put their teachings to practical use: defend share holders before moral or cultural standards.
The other example is google and their 'do no evil' mantra, which has shifted to 'on average do less evil'.
Or is it that it is us who are wrong - looking at sites with massive up take on a gimick idea and expect that site to be an institution with morals... which I said before, arent being taught except if you read adam smith's original writings?
