"This is about an American being silenced — one tweet at a time": Actor James Woods rants about his Twitter account being locked

Woods' tweet from a few months ago was considered to be material that would suppress votes or deliberately deceive, and was found to be in violation of Twitter rules.
UPDATED SEP 24, 2018

Actor James Woods will not delete his tweet even though it may mean being prevented from using his Twitter account in the near future. The social media giant found a tweet of his from a few months ago to be 'misleading' and in violation of Twitter's rules and so his account was locked for access. 

The actor speaking to AP said he wanted an open discourse and that this incident was dangerous for free speech. He also observed: “I wish this were about an unknown Twitter user so that I could be even more passionate about it. This is not about a celebrity being muzzled. This is about an American being silenced — one tweet at a time.”

Below is the tweet which earned Woods this reaction from Twitter
