The problem is not that users aren't following the rules. The problem is that enforcement is, shall we say, very selective. To give but one example, Mitch McConell's account just got banned for posting a video of a protest outside his house.
- pacerwpg 7y agoThe Mitch McConnell campaign account got frozen after it was reported for posting a video that contained threats (towards the candidate), which is against the Twitter TOS. I don't agree with this action, but it's consistent with their TOS. I don't believe I've seen other campaigns that have posted videos of people threatening the candidate so I can't make a judgement call about enforcement consistency.
- m0zg 7y agoI don't know if you're intentionally trying to mislead by not mentioning _which_ candidate, or if you've been misled yourself by fake news, but the violent threats in the video were agains McConnell himself, from a crowd gathered outside his house, and not by McConnell himself against anybody else.
- pacerwpg 7y agoI said towards the candidate while only mentioning one candidate. That's not obfuscating in any way.
