- dvhh 10y agoCensored or expelled, twitter is a private entity that can apply any rules they want, and not yet a public utility. On another hand I find it quite interesting that social media is transforming internet in AOL 2.0, meaning a nice and even garden where anything that is deemed "not nice enough" will be pushed aside.
- nikdaheratik 10y agoFrom everything I've seen, it's been a concerted effort to censor "personalities" who are also being rude and harassing other users and encouraging their followers to do the same. Though in this case the "encouraging", seems to happen offsite via Slack chat. Nothing has really changed since the BBS/IRC days in this case, and it's not really noteworthy.
