You should read the actual post, not just the comments.
> This policy does not apply to military or government entities and we will consider exceptions for groups that are currently engaging in (or have engaged in) peaceful resolution.
- vkou 9y agoWell, that's quite a double standard.
- saas_co_de 9y agoYeah, basically Twitter's version of the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. You are only allowed to murder people if you agree with our politics.
- evanlivingston 9y agoDoes paramilitary count as military? Do revolutionary movements count as government entities?
- saas_co_de 9y agoInterestingly, if you read the full policies, the "Violent Extremist Groups" (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-groups https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-group...) has a specific exemption for Government and Military but the "Violent Threats and Glorification of Violence" policy (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-threats-glorification https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/violent-threa...) is a bit different. The Glorification of Violence policy says that acts of war, military attacks, state sanctioned executions, and natural disasters are not covered ... UNLESS ... "protected categories have been the primary targets or victims." The funny thing is that I can't find their definition of "protected category" anywhere, which takes the Orwellian irony of the whole thing to the next level.
