My issue with it is entirely different - the user isn't American. He lives in New Zealand.
Throwing HATE at a US politician during a US election in public is foreign interference and should be removed on that basis.
- nradov 7y agoShould Twitter also prohibit US residents from posting disparaging tweets about Vladimir Putin during the next Russian election season?
- lucaspm98 7y agoIt seems somewhat unrealistic for a user to not be able to express opinions about the politics of another country. Elections more often than not have international implications. For example, as an American I have varying levels of interest in Chinese, Russian, and EU politics. Coordinated interference by foreign governments is a completely different problem.
- smsm42 7y ago"foreign interference" is bullshit. Anybody can express their opinion about US politicians, and if US electorate is too stupid to decide for themselves what they want without excluding any outside information, like Soviet Union did and North Korea still does - it's not a democracy anyway, it's idiocracy and thus would not have any value to preserve. Fortunately, it's just a lie - US people are just fine and capable of independent reasoning, and there's no threat of "foreign influence", it's a canard invented by political operators to mask their failures and provide excuses for censorship.
