“”The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday it will no longer post news or other content on Twitter, citing “unchecked vitriol” on the social media platform, including in comments on the office’s page.
“As a prosecutor’s office, we uphold the principles of justice, fairness and equality for all,” according to a statement released Tuesday. “The rise in unchecked vitriol targeting marginalized communities, false information, lack of community guideline enforcement or mechanisms to otherwise address these issues, has left us with no other choice.”
Like in “1984”—truth is fiction and fiction is truth. For those how live in Los Angeles, you are living in a Banana Republic—the next step is for the D.A. to have you arrested for disturbing his peace.
