Is Justin Bieber banned from Twitter's trending topics?

Has Justin Bieber disappeared from Twitter's list of trending topics? There is a rumor going around all of the popular internet community on Sunday that Biebermania has in fact pushed the social-media site over the edge. Why? There doesn't appear to be any concrete reason behind the speculation, though it may be because of the singer frequently showing up on the list for the past several weeks along with his album "My World 2.0."

Twitter must in some way want other topics to appear on their list -- however, if Justin Bieber is popular, shouldn't he stay at the top? For a website that seems all about open expression, this sort of policing could lead to damaged credibility down the road. Justin Bieber earned his spot on the list by having so many fans, so shouldn't he stay there for as long as fans tweet about him?

Of course, Justin Bieber fans aren't going away quietly with this news -- #letbiebertrend is already a hot topic on the site, as is "Beliebers" and #letjbtrend.

Do you think Twitter really decided to ban Justin Bieber from their list, and do you think this will have negative ramifications later? Feel free to share your thoughts and I will have updates as soon as it becomes available.

  • Kayla 2 years ago

    But, a lot of not Bieber fans are getting attacked and spammed if they say something bad about Bieber. You wanna talk about freedom of speech now? The Bieber fans need to tone it down. Seriously.

  • @lucymay_jdb 2 years ago

    I WAS SO MAD! If twitter doesnt let him trend again, belibers will delete there twitters and twitter will be no more Im not kidding #BeliebersOWNtwitter for sure

  • jbieberinfo 2 years ago

    Yep they did ban him. You know it's true because with all the mentions of his name today, he'd sure to be trending but he's not. I posted on my blog about this TwitterStorm:

    I think everyone is sick of the little teenage girls ranting about a little boy.

  • Anonymous 1 year ago

    Not everyone unfortunately. I don' go to his concerts because of all the screaming girls.

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    Justin Bieber not trending anymore doesn't mean it's the end of the world! You can still talk to him on Twitter. So what if he's not trending! Seriously, you tell haters to get a life if they don't like Justin Bieber, you guys need to get a life too! Not everything is about Justin Bieber. If Haiti were to have another earthquake, guess who'd be the center of attention. Not the people of Haiti, Justin Bieber. During the Chile earthquake, what mattered more? Justin Bieber. Twitter is fine with or without Justin Bieber. You guys just make it seem like he's a GOD! There's nothing special about this kid. Yes, it seems to be cool that a kid can sing but to go this crazy over him, that's just so annoying! If any of the haters have a reason to hate Justin Bieber it's because his fans make him much more than meets the eye! And how fair is it that no other star gets a fair chance to be a trending topic? "No, it has to be Justin Bieber." the fans say.

  • Chey 2 years ago

    NO one messes with beliebers. just wait justinbieber will trend again! mauhahahaha :D anything thats not bieber dies:)

  • wadeva 1 year ago

    I hope you're the first.

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    To top it all off, if anybody simply doesn't like him, you guys make it seems like it's a sin to not like him or his music. It's not our fault you make him look like he's the best person in the world. And it's REAL insulting to say Justin Bieber is King of Pop. I'm not a huge fan of Michael Jackson, but that's just a disgrace! I won't be surprised if somebody lost their girlfriend because of their obsession with this kid! I'll tone down when the fans learn to tone down their obsession and behaviour.

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    And you guys sound like psychopaths when you say "Beliebers are coming for you" or "Bieber or Die". What the heck is that all about?! No wonder people think others are brainwashed by music today. They have Justin Bieber fans as undeniable proof of that!

  • Jamie 2 years ago

    I could care less about this boy, but if he's been banned as a trending topic, Twitter is being extremely pathetic.

  • Alli3 2 years ago

    So what is justin is a trending topic everyday? that just goes to show that people need to HAVE RESPECT for young musicians coming into the real world. If hes a trending topic everyday,let him theres NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT! Us who believe in him,and love him will support him. Their are other stupid topics that have trended like this #whenthecondombreaks like seriously? Justin Bieber is an amazing artist,and he deserves respect. He's done nothing wrong to anyone,so you shouldnt hate on him. Thats all I have to say.

  • Kylie 2 years ago

    Just FYI "Bieber or die" was on april fools day when Justin took over funnyordie.com. He simply renamed it bieberordie.com for the day. Get your facts straight us beliebers aren't crazy because of it. I also think that this whole Twitter thing is lame it's not our fault Justin is well like he deserves his spot on a trending topic!

  • Beliebers 2 years ago

    LET BIEBER TREND NOW! SERIOUSLY. We all have the freedoms, to tweet about whatever we like. And to have that banned... is not right. And if Twitter bans him... EVERYONE will always know that. #BeliebersOWNtwitter . NO MATTER WHAT. END OF STORY:P
    Justin Bieber is amazing<3 And so are his fans. We deserve ALL of our Freedom of speech rights.. which include the Trending Topics.

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    Kylie: Well get your facts straight that fans of Justin Bieber ARE crazy. Most of them actually. If one doesn't like Justin Bieber that seems to give the fans every right to bash that guy because he's tired of hearing about Justin?

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    Kylie: Every single day?! No! It's understandable if on one day his album or single comes out but it's stupid now to have him as a trending topic for nothing! And so what if he doesn't trend? You people are going ballistic just because his name isn't on the trending topics anymore. Oooh wow, well Justin, say hello to all the other celebrities who don't even get to have their name on there for one day.

  • AHUGEBELIEBER 2 years ago

    k um seriously justin bieber is amazing and has every rite to trend? and how are we crazy, yah were crazy if we stand up for what we belive in know who we are and have nnothing but utter respect for this wonderful guy? like who r u to say im crazy? im a human being who has the bieberfever and forever will! so next time u even try to type justin bieber fans are retarted and stuff beiber cause we want to not because were crazy and seriously if u hate the guy so much why waste ur time like looking him up and commenting on this stuff? if anyones crazy its u and sercretly i think u haterz are more obseesed then the belibers, all u do is hate on a guy u dont know just to get attention and yah u have freedom of speech but dont expect us to say nothing so next time u say stuff expect itback K THANKS:)

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    AHUGEBELIEBER: Thanks, I'm so glad I got your permission :)

    I don't get it. What do you believe in? Justin is not a religion. And it's you guys that are crazy because if you find anyone who doesn't like him, the responses are ridiculous. The haters I see just get tired of hearing about him all the time, of course they're going to get mad at him and his fans. I ORIGINALLY didn't hate the guy. But he soon got more annoying. That's why I can't stand him now.

  • JBlover 2 years ago

    Bieber is my religion, I would do anything he says. He's soooooooooo gorgeous! Twitter needs to let him be a trending topic again.

  • Yes! 2 years ago

    JBLover: Haha! I can imagine a religious scripture made all about him. Then again, you probably wouldn't need it :)

  • ZainR 2 years ago

    I wonder what the commandments are in Bieberism JBLover

  • ZainR 2 years ago

    at the end of the day I can see that a trending topic is simply a trending topic so I don't understand why everyone has to stay upset at the fact that he's not trending anymore. maybe he specifically will one day, you never know

    Actually Justin Bieber stopped trending for a bit because most of his fan base are in school. Spring break mean anything? School nights? His frequent flight to the top of trends coincided with spring break season in the US.
