The reality is that crazy still needs a place to speak. I can’t stand her as a voice for the movement, but freedom of speech includes freedom of reach.

The one who advertises free speech on his platform draws the line when anyone speaks out against him. Free speech is free speech. If you can’t take it sell the app. The fact that Trump isn’t sticking up for her is surprising but then he’d lose his funding source.

She doxxed someone - it’s against the rules she knows that.

Laura Loomer received suspension etc on X for sharing personal information of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-American entrepreneur appointed as a senior policy advisor on artificial intelligence by former President Donald Trump. Loomer posted Federal Election Commission (FEC) records that included Krishnan’s personal details, leading to accusations of doxxing—the act of publicly revealing private information without consent. She later apologized, stating it was an “honest mistake” and emphasized that the information was publicly available through FEC records. just because she said it was a mistake doesn’t mean she didn’t do it.

X’s policy on sharing private information, updated in March 2024, prohibits users from posting or threatening to post others’ private details without explicit permission. This includes home addresses, contact information, identity documents, financial data, and other sensitive personal information. Violations can lead to account suspension or other enforcement actions. 

In December 2024, X’s owner, Elon Musk, reiterated a zero-tolerance stance on doxxing, stating that accounts engaging in such behavior would face immediate suspension. 

Regarding the reinstatement of subscribers or followers after such incidents, X’s enforcement actions depend on the severity of the violation and the user’s history. Users can appeal suspensions or other penalties through X’s official channels. However, reinstatement is not guaranteed and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. 

Sharing personal information without consent not only violates platform rules but can also lead to legal consequences, depending on jurisdiction.

So sick of her whining without taking responsibility! She knows what she did and she knew the rules she just thought she would get away with it and now she is causing even more divide. They need to keep her off until the appointments are over ie RFK (personal opinion).

She absolutely took responsibility

Not really and that’s why it has been so frustrating to watch this play out. She kept saying she didn’t know why she was being suspended and then when she was told it was because she doxxed someone she said she didn’t post their address she blacked it out and then it was other users on X that reposted her original post and called her out. And then she said well it shouldn’t matter cause you can find it online which you can but she is amplifying and inciting violence by posting to all her followers this guys address (according to X). It’s like talking to my 14 year old - did you drink all the milk and put the container back in the fridge? No, not all the milk. Ok most of the milk? No, there was some milk left. Like 1 tablespoon of milk left? No like 1.5 tablespoons.

Elon posted and reposted the X rules for doxxing and she just keeps not really taking accountability and she is still going on and on about it. Just post like normal and maybe her views etc will change but no one wants to read her reposts and reposts of how sorry they feel for her cause anyone that actually followed it in real time doesn’t feel sorry for her.

As intense and controversial as Laura Loomer is she is an absolute pro. Doxing people is not her MO. I believe she didn't realise/know she was actually doxing-in other words it was not done purposely. The subject she wanted to expose, the flaws of the HB-1B visa's, was basically "poking the bear" IMHO her work is important, she controversial, fearless and many times cant seem to get out of her own way. IMHO she has been punished enough and deserves monetization again. Again I think the work she does is important.

She has been banned on every platform she has ever been on. She was banned from either Uber or Lyft for her comments about Muslim drivers. I’m all for freedom of speech but let’s get real her hate speech toward Muslims and Indians is a far cry from being professional imo! But yea your exactly right - she can’t get out of her own way: she was wrong doxxing someone on X and then pretending like she didn’t know better. She knew better.

This may be catty, but I view her comments after suspension as that of a jealous ex. Trump isn't paying attention to me because of Elon. I do not follow her, so how did I see her posts? Because someone I follow reposted, I guess.

Is there a way to prove that people arent seeing her account due to suppression vs people just arent that into her anymore? I feel like she's just fallen out of favor... but idk

Maybe compare her viewership on X before vs after her posts last month. I know she retweeted people who said they couldn’t see her content and had to look her up. Plus we know she lost her blue check mark.

Expand full comment

I have seen her posts, I have a friend in Canada who sees her posts. Beyond that I can’t speak personally to anything else except that there were numerous people I follow who lost their blue check marks at the same time. I don’t know exactly why, but some of them have been given their checks back and some have not as of today. I see this as more of a business law issue than anything. I enjoy Lara’s stuff, I know there are people who don’t. I would suggest that if she is still being harmed monetarily, that she speak to an attorney going forward.

I didn't disagree with her on this issue but I thought she was actually suspended for doxxing that AI guy?!

Also I just went to her X account and the majority of her posts and reposts are about this and the “censorship”. She is bashing X, Elon, asking for people to buy her a coffee, join her on Substack , rumble etc. Maybe she should just start posting like normal like who wants to read that and then reread her reposts of all her drama regarding this?

She was!!!! In her whining rants why doesn’t she include what got her in trouble in the first place! Her entire email is how she doesn’t have income yet she gave out an address.

Hi Elon and team,

I'm not sure what is going on here, however, as a passionate supporter of your platform being the voice of the citizens and supporting us all to "be the media now" - I gently ask you to review whatever the problem is with Laura Loomer's account. Viewpoint diversity is critical and is what makes your platform the number 1 in the world. Please sort it out for Laura when you have a spare moment. An Australian fan.

Why 'gently ask.' Smells of fear. Never give into tyranny.

She's not wrong. Wasn't it revealed through the Adrian Dittman (Elon alias) Twitter account that Elon has administrative privileges on Twitter/X?

It's the same thing as censoring all the people who were pointing out that COVID was likely a lab leak or that the vaccines were dangerous, unnecessary, and not fully tested (like other vaccines out there).

Who’s Laura Loomer?

Expand full comment

Maybe the Trump crew is happy she's on restriction? Also, I use to follow her on X… but she’s very rude to her followers, when they post anything she does not like. She's also a name caller. She may view herself as a serious journalist but she behaves like a mean girl. It's not a good look. I think she's just worn out her welcome. There may be people behind the scenes that have encouraged Elon to silence her. (especially, until after the appointments are in place) Does she have a substack? That seems like a better place for her. Free speech and agressive attacks are two very different things. It never works out well to continue attacks on a person, that owns the platform, and your income depends on it…Her attacks on Bobby were misplaced too. Pit Bull journalism is boring. It comes across as immature, bully behavior. She could be great if she would tone down the aggression. (Are these dramas for engagement?)

This is very upsetting. Laura has been instrumental in helping get Trump elected and is incredibly loyal to him. I’m shocked that the Trump family is letting this happen to her. They could easily tell Elon to knock it off. It’s so hurtful what’s being done to her. I’m so sorry Laura! You don’t deserve this.

I don’t think anyone tells Elon to knock it off even the President.

Do you really think that how the conversations go. He or his family are gonna be like “knock it off.” Come on now. They’re all drunk on power. Elon is basically untouchable now. I can’t believe he really fooled the MAGA crowd.

Don’t be sad. Just asking if you really think that’s how it works ? Genuinely curious ?

She voted for someone who is a convicted felon. His entire message is anti kindness, anti humanity, and anti women. They took a government website that aims to help women down in the first day and took a backhander from Elon to gain access to control the world with his deranged cult ideas. I’m really not sure what else she expected. I’m all for free speech but hope you get it restored but they are allowing hate but picking and choosing what type of free speech they really want. It’s all about control. When people in the administration allow this. It should be a message you voted against humanity. Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. And even more when you help get them there. There’s always hope. There’s always a chance to realise mistakes have been made and take action. Good luck.

What guarantees does X make to its users? Does anyone have any reason to expect anything other than an empty text box and a post button? I agree it doesn't seem fair, but why do we expect to be given free bullhorns to address the world? If you're on the $250/month Giant Business Bullhorn plan and X isn't delivering, that's a different story. Otherwise, it might be time to build your own bullhorn and maybe put your livelihood eggs in more than one basket.

Ugh! Laura is SO ANNOYING! But this is hypocritical and dead wrong on Elon’s part. Disappointing.

I feel good. Isn't she the one who started the whole anti-indian dehumanization crusade during Christmas? Sheesh the amount of disgusting stuff she said was hard to read. People like her don't deserve a platform. Free speech has a limit irl and it's not free of consequences if you breach a certain limit. I hate Elon but I agree with his action here.

Has the deal been approved for #Elmo to merge "Twitter" into "Tikity Tok" and then follow up with a new share offering of $100 billion USD from the list of selling shareholders per the expected proposed prospectus? 🦅
