I've gone through and reported a number of accounts that seem to violate this policy after the announcement and made note of the usernames and if they were a left wing or right wing organization. I'm curious to see if this will be enforced equally.
- andai 9y agoHow do I subscribe for updates on this?
- 21 9y agoMany will report antifa accounts. It will be a shitfest whatever Twitter does: ban - they are pro fascists and can't distinguish between "good" violence versus "bad" violence, no ban - they have double standards for left versus right.
- Spivak 9y agoThere's a such thing as good violence?
- 21 9y agoWell, self defense is a generally accepted case of good violence.
- tyen_ 9y agoAntifa acts in self-defense? what a joke

- icebraining 9y agoI'd consider that violence a necessary evil, not good. And certainly not to be glorified.
- vkou 9y agoI agree, but our take on this is an incredibly unpopular opinion. The public genuinely loves violence, as long as it's directed against other bad people.

- anonbanker 9y agoThis post is a good example of why spacing is important. Everything after the colon should've been on multiple lines, to separate "ban" and "no ban". You're being downvoted because people think you're pro-antifa, which is sort of sad. I had to undown your post because it was too difficult to parse initially. Thankfully, your other posts in this topic showed that my parsing was incorrect.
- thinkingemote 9y agoI don't think it's quite equal as there is a clause about protected groups. So I imagine that some abuse can be allowed if the target is not protected. Edits, worth pointing out that the link to the policy in depth adds an "or" to the clause in a less ambiguous way I'm not sure what a protected group is, whether there's a list somewhere, of it's all relative (who holds more 'power' is less protected)?
- creaghpatr 9y agoFor hint, look at Twitter's trust and safety partners, who determine what constitutes 'hate' https://about.twitter.com/en_us/safety/safety-partners.html https://about.twitter.com/en_us/safety/safety-partners.html
- TheAdamAndChe 9y agoI hope Twitter realizes that this kind of skewed enforcement will just amplify the current cultural struggles and strengthen the compartmentalization between the political left and right. Notable organizations in the list that I noticed: Anti-Defamation League - The group that decided pepe the frog was a hate symbol Muslim Advocates, World Jewish Congress - This group doesn't irritate me so much, except there are no advocacy groups for Christians. National Network to End Domestic Violence - Specifies that they focus on ending female domestic violence only. Feminist Frequency - Given how few people identify as feminists, I'm surprised this one is here. There are probably more sketchy ones that I don't know.
- cgb223 9y agoPlease post your results, I'd love to hear them. Would probably make a great blog post in itself
