>the other is unsubstantiated racism that has been known as wrong for a century or more.
No, the popular, "politically correct" opinion has not been in favor of interracial relations for "a century or more".
50 years ago, much of Dr. King's work for human rights was considered by the authorities to be a grave threat to national security that was controlled by the USSR and needed to be "neutralized". Aren't those all criteria that Twitter would accept for banning someone?
Do you think the censors at Twitter have infallable moral compasses that are superior to society's?
- rspeer 8y agoI think the moral compasses of Twitter moderators are quite fallible, but the most extreme way that they could fail would be to stop doing their job. Society has a better moral compass, in aggregate, than the content allowed by the combination of bots and low-paid workers that moderate Twitter. I say that means that Twitter needs to catch up. You seem to be saying that means Twitter should never moderate anything, which seems like exactly the wrong direction to me.
