[font size=5]'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams says he was targeted by Clinton supporters for Trump endorsement[/font]
Scott Adams, who pens the popular comic strip Dilbert, and who has been an outspoken Donald Trump booster this election, says hes been targeted by an army of trolls for his conservative leanings, on social media and across the web.
In an essay for his blog, Adams says he was shadowbanned by Twitter as part of an organized effort to silence him online an effort that started when Adams asked Trump supporters to Tweet him accounts of being bullied by Democrats.
According to his account, the social media company which has had issues with its Trust and Safety Council shutting down unpopular viewpoints before didnt remove him from their social media platform in an official way, but prevented his followers from seeing his Tweets and replies.
Adams also claims that Clinton supporters or, at least, Clinton-supporting Twitter bots have been filling his mentions with nasty, often similar, replies.

(13,616 posts)Adams is perhaps the best illustrator of the stupid mentality that has allowed the GOP to cause so much harm: The pointy haired idiot boss. It is one thing if he dislike Hillary, but his support of Trump is like a lung cancer survivor taking up smoking.

(82,849 posts)But I think Adams is finding out (via social media) that there's a boatload of people funnier than he could ever hope to be. I'm disinclined to listen to his whining about being "shadowbanned," whatever the hell that is.
