Twitter clarifies special rules for tweets by world leaders like Trump
- Fjolsvith 7y agoDoes Twitter allow the end user to disable this censorship?
- unholiness 7y agoIt seems like by doing this, Twitter is increasing the size of their voice as a non-neutral platform, simultaneously displaying the popular tweets and their own message that, hey, this is hate speech. I do wonder, though, if this will have the opposite effect. There is plenty to criticize about these tweets, and the stable genius behind them, so it's not surprising that many have called for these messages to be banned. But, they still seem like a legitimate use if the platform, so my main reaction reading the messages is "Wait, _that_ would be ban-worthy?". This policy may end up undermining the credibility of the platform more than the author.
