This is the most asinine, childish conversation I've ever participated in, but here's what 50 seconds of effort got me: https://twitter.com/LK4Csjsharks20/stat

Whatever point you're trying to make, you're doing a poor job of it.

So yeah, we are getting different results. Just looking at your top 3, I don't even see those posters in the list. I'm not blocked by them or anything, since your links work for me when logged in. Filter bubble shenanigans? There is no need whatsoever for these theatrics over a simple disagreement, for crying out loud. If I had my druthers, the owners of every single tweet linked in this thread, yours as well, would be banned from Twitter, if not brought up on harassment charges. You will note that I said Twitter has no issues with those with leftist political leanings telling others to kill themselves. That statement is still true, but misleading in the light of what you linked here. Twitter apparently has no issue with anyone telling others to kill themselves. And people wonder why their stock price is falling off a cliff...

  >There is no need whatsoever for these theatrics over a simple disagreement, for crying out loud. Oh I dunno, it might have something to do with you implying that I support the idea of any person telling any other person to kill themselves. >You will note that I said Twitter has no issues with those with leftist political leanings telling others to kill themselves. That statement is still true, but misleading in the light of what you linked here. Twitter apparently has no issue with anyone telling others to kill themselves. That was an awfully artful way of saying you were full of shit without having to actually admit you were wrong. Nice. Ironically, I was actually remarking, just hours ago, about Twitter's horrible moderation and response to abuse before even seeing this thread. I would have readily agreed that they suck at handling abuse, but instead you went with "a liberal conspiracy to allow threats towards conservatives" despite the incredible ease of finding counter examples.

    you implying that I support the idea of any person telling any other person to kill themselves. !? Holy shit dude, if that's what I implied, I apologize, because that was absolutely not my intent whatsoever. That statement was directed at Twitter, not you. That was an awfully artful way of saying you were full of shit without having to actually admit you were wrong. I was wrong. Better? I was more interested in trying to figure out how and why I was wrong. but instead you went with "a liberal conspiracy to allow threats towards conservatives" despite the incredible ease of finding counter examples. Fine, we'll instead go with "a liberal conspiracy to to place angry conservative tweets as more important than terrorist propaganda", something for which there is plenty of evidence of.

      >Fine, we'll instead go with "a liberal conspiracy to to place angry conservative tweets as more important than terrorist propaganda", something for which there is plenty of evidence of. And someone already addressed that alternative flavor of absurdity yesterday too. Twitter has purged hundreds of thousands of terrorism-related accounts and continues to do so. (I'm sure you'll counter with the Hamas account, but you already know why that's a poor counter example when faced with hundreds of thousands of accounts being purged). BTW, this is called "moving the goalposts". Are you now asserting that Twitter intentionally allows terrorism accounts to proliferate? Or are you implying that they have an account banning quota and they use it all up on conservatives and have none left over for terrorists? God damn, the mental gymnastics here are just something else.

        Except the Hamas account (and others) had been around for a lot longer, and received more reports, and they decided to do something about it only (coincidentally, I'm sure...) after a lawsuit was filed. Did the CEO get off his ass and talk to someone from the State dept? No, but he sure got off his ass to talk to some random Hollywood celeb who was getting mean tweets. As I said earlier, and you apparently missed in your angry rant, 235k accounts is nothing. It's utter child's play, given how disposable Twitter accounts are. Twitter has a "trust and safety" team that's entirely far too concerned about feminist's feelings and not concerned near enough with terrorists using their platform. If that makes me this terrible monster, sign me up.
