VisuNews Podcast: Twitter Bans and Melting ICE

Welcome to episode 14 of the Visu.News podcast. We are one year and 167 days into the Donald J Trump presidency. This week co-founder and journalist Aaron Cynic and myself are chatting with Danielle Corcione about getting banned from social media sites, and the growing fight to abolish ICE.

Quick footnote, Danielle was booted off of twitter up until this evening, just hours after we recorded when, after several websites published interviews with their about the ban twitter reinstated her account. Showcasing the seemingly arbitrary process at which the social media site decides who has accounts on their site, and what can get people suspended or banned.
