Twitter blocks support website for 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch Phil Robertson

Twitter users hoping to use their accounts to support an advocacy effort on behalf of “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson –the website IStandWithPhil.com — are being thwarted by the social media site, which has branded the petition page “spammy or unsafe.”

“We’re encouraging supporters to be heard, tweet the @support or @twitter account, and use their other means of communication to get IStandWithPhil.com back online,” said Chris Stone, Founder of Faith Driven Consumer, said in a release on the social media “shutdown.”
