So, I'll bite. Why does the account that tweeted "Old. White. Men." deserve to be banned based on that tweet? That's something you are saying should be banned?

So, I'll bite. Why does the account that tweeted "Old. White. Men." deserve to be banned based on that tweet? That's something you are saying should be banned? (Just to be clear, that's one of the 'tweets' you are linking to in that screenshot) > I personally reported many accounts, including an antifa group that called for killing cops and white peoples to no avail. Citation needed. Actually quite interested in this one. This seems like something serious. > At the same time twitter bans people for sharing news about job growth. Citation needed. Please note, I'm looking specifically for proof that someone who shared job growth information got banned specifically for sharing that job growth information. Until you provide the requested information, I'll feel comfortable in dismissing anything you say as bs.

So the offending tweet got deleted by twitter, but the account is still up. I scrolled through the first page and they are literally calling for doxing ICE agents right there. Pasted both pics to imgur https://m.imgur.com/a/wsHPMUD https://m.imgur.com/a/wsHPMUD

  So your complaint is that a tweet which you reported was … deleted? Twitter’s process generally sucks but that really doesn’t support the claim that there’s political discrimination going on – I’m certain that if you switched to reporting right-wing extremists, Gamergaters, etc. you’d have the same experience.

    This is just one example. My complaint is that accounts like that stay up despite numerous reports. And Alex Jones is saint compared to these guys...

      One example which doesn’t support your claim, followed by an assertion which is similarly unsupported and far from a given based on the number of lawsuits Jones has lost or settled. You might want to go back to The_Donald. HN tends not to reward that kind of empty bombast.

      It is hard to take someone seriously when they try to argue that Alex Jones is a saint compared to Joshua Malina from The West Wing.

        I was referring to @ucf_socialism and other similar antifa groups. Whose activities led to an actual physical harm to people and property.

  Okay, sure, doxing is bad, you've reported it, and as you've said, they've deleted a previous post. I don't know what the threshold is, but pretty sure there is one at some point. That being said, Alex Jones is still up and tweeted 5 minutes ago, and has done things at least as bad, if not worse. So... yeah. But, that's 1 out of 3 you've "address", and your 1 isn't even compelling. You literally tell me flat out that Twitter is indeed responding to reports and acting on them. Anyways, please address the other two, and I hope they actually demonstrate what you claim.
