In a statement, Playbill said the social media platform has “greatly expanded its tolerance for hate, negativity, and misinformation.” The account, which had more than 400,000 followers, was not active on Twitter as of Friday. The company that owns Playbill was established in 1885. It is family-owned. “We feel we can no longer continue to utilize a platform where the line between actual news and insidious rhetoric has become blurred beyond recognition,” Playbill said in a statement.
The platform suspended numerous fake accounts that had “verified” check marks for brands ranging from Nintendo of America to the software company Valve. Some of the fake company accounts on Twitter included inappropriate logos or pictures – the imposter Nintendo account, for example, tweeted an image of Mario giving the middle finger. The following Playbill Twitter accounts are no longer active: @Playbill, @PlaybillTravel, @PLAYBILLder, @PlaybillArts, @PlaybillStore.
I guess 'free speech' only applies to one side. If you point out the hypocritical logic, or an alternate opinion, you are preaching hate. Just goes to show who really practices tolerance!!
Don’t let the door hit up on the way out
Oh noes. What are we going to do without whatever the fuck that was
Who?

SO something that's has a job to relay information about Broadway shows, is taking a stand on.... something? I mean they could just relay information about you know, the shows they want people to spend money on. But taking a stand on random unknown stuff is good too!
Who would have thought that Playbill would be political.
Lol We don’t want to really know how much people thought our plays suck….lol
