Twitter Bullycide Linked to Louise Mensch and Team Patriot using Mass Censorship Tool

How Twitter allows Public Figures & Trolls to Kill

“It only gets better from here” — Rob McNeece Sept. 14, 2013.

On November 7, 2017 Rob McNeece dropped his wife off at work, drafted a note on his computer, likely said goodbye to his three dogs (Nacho, Chloe, and Star) and went to his shed and ended his life. McNeece wasn’t famous, unlike adult film-star August Ames, whose recent online bullying became a major factor in her suicide.

However, one crucial component — with an added bit of nastiness — was at play here. Ames and McNeece both were targets of relentlessness online bullying from their peer. In the McNeece case, he fell in with a group of serial harassers and stalkers that operate a virtually closed network on Twitter. Once they turned their sights on their former friend McNeece, there was no refuge from the onslaught. And finally, when news of McNeece’s suicide reached the crew, they celebrated online with a “thump”, indicating that their target was killed off.

The most stringent reviews of his life prove Rob McNeece to be nothing more than a patriotic politically-minded blogger. Clearly right-leaning, he held a healthy skepticism while entertaining ideas that challenged his personal philosophy. Like most Americans he took road trips to see Mt. Rushmore, supported vet causes, and genuinely cared about the direction of the country. Yet for nearly a year Team Patriot used their network in conjunction with a censorship application to trap and corner their prey.

To add insult to injury they then innocently reported his suicide and pretended to mourn. Luckily Twitter users were watching and documented the interactions up to, and including, the team making a fake and identical account to McNeece’s; All of which will be documented in the “Attack” section below.

Colloquially known via the hashtag #TeamPatriot, and lead by former Tory MP Louise Mensch — who resides in a moderate brownstone in New York City owned by her estranged husband Peter Mensch — has used an open source tool to not only create an echo chamber, but also acts to silence users voices from ever reaching tens of millions of users at any given time. The 3rd party tool, known as Block Together, allows anyone to add an unlimited number of users to a block list. Once large enough, those on the naughty list — per Mensch’s rules and direct orders — are effectively no longer able to engage vast swaths of users. This has even new Tweeters cut off from being able to interact with their elected representatives; Adam Schiff (D-CA) is a known user of the list in the past, along with other representatives.

To preserve her public image Mensch, a verified user, has the list run by anonymous user @chiefcovfefe. As of last count, the Team Patriot blocklist included over 600,000 users. And has been rumored to have peaked at 730K users. One of Mensch’s main concerns she addressed with ChiefCovfefe asking if this also blocks their followers. He replied in the affirmative and this can be seen by scrolling down the archived thread. It has doubled in size since August when it was 350,000 users.

Once the list was large enough, any dissent about Mensch, the blocklist, or really anything in general, had you banished to a different twitter per her order. I had made a short explanation video for Twitter when I learned that countless millions were silenced. My hopes were that it would liberate those inside the wall. It helped, and as predicted, Mensch and her crew of 5 (and their many fake accounts) exploited the “report” tool to ban my account. Just as I had predicted. Mind you, in almost 9 years I have never received so much as a warning via Twitter. They also sent a warning shot claiming anyone using the hashtag #BlockedByChiefCovfefe will be targeted and they made good on that promise; which is a violation of Twitter’s ToS against targeted harassment. A cursory view of the hashtag shows countless people targeted and expressing frustration.

Here is the video that triggered the mass reporting per the orders Louise Mensch and Team Patriot.
