Strong reaction to the suspension of conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain (@RSMcCain), whose Twitter feed has over 80,000 followers, had #FreeStacy trending overnight”:

@rsmccain talked tough but he only gave good as he got. I'll be dropping from @twitter if @Support doesn't #FreeStacy & I won't be the only — Milo Yiannopoulos (@ThropeLycan) February 20, 2016

Naive I guess, but I didn't know Twitter manipulated hashtags & trends like this #FreeStacy https://t.co/SzDrroQW1l pic.twitter.com/xsrxsGyb6T — LauraB in MN (@LauraBxd) February 20, 2016

Now Twitter has silenced @rsmccain. Eventually they will come for you too.#RIPTwitter — Supreme Dark Lord (@voxday) February 20, 2016

ANOTHER ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS #freestacy https://t.co/zDwMICOEn4 — Sissy Willis (@SissyWillis) February 20, 2016

I'm getting so tired of the overt political bias/hatred of free speech by @twitter @Support and @jack. Alternatives wanted.#freestacy — Bob Owens (@bob_owens) February 20, 2016

The banning of @rsmccain is a test case, b/c he never swore or threatened: It proves that Twitter bans people PURELY for opinions #FreeStacy — The Deuce (@ibbibby) February 20, 2016

Funny Twitter comes out with the Twitter Safety Council during an election years, and starts to target Cons. #freestacy — Angela (@Mellecon) February 20, 2016

Twitter wants to tell everyone what they can't write. Unless they agree with your opinion…complete garbage. #freestacy — PYP (@Parkpatricky) February 20, 2016

I'm not a conservative, in fact I disagree with them on many things. However, I still respect their freedom of speech. #freestacy — Lazaro (@___lazaro___) February 20, 2016

As @rsmccain is banned, a SJW tag is pushed on timelines. Is this in $TWTR shareholder's best interest? #FreeStacy pic.twitter.com/CgeUu1kk7D — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) February 20, 2016

Time to revive the Logan Valley doctrine & hold that Twitter is a public free speech space (like a town square)? Just a thought #freestacy — Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) February 20, 2016

The purge has begun. Conservative Robert Stacy McCain has been wiped from social justice twitter. https://t.co/imIzInOqxJ — Scott Greenfield (@ScottGreenfield) February 20, 2016

@ScottGreenfield @Cernovich Any idea what he said that got him suspended yet? — Lyle Yiannopoulos (@Lyde15) February 20, 2016

@Lyde15 @Cernovich Not a clue. He's a strong voice, but hardly threatening. — Scott Greenfield (@ScottGreenfield) February 20, 2016

Users were reminded about McCain’s other account:

If you followed @rsmccain you can now find him at @SexTroubleBook — Space Bunnyopoulos (@Spacebunnyday) February 20, 2016

Why was McCain suspended? He’s not sure:
