Not sure who will end up being satisfied with this.
People who want the "world leaders" deplatformed will be mad they they're still online, and people who like said leaders will cry persecution every time this is invoked, whether it's intentional or some automated system being tripped.
A sizable chunk will not hear about any of this and will wonder why they can't like a tweet (unless this problem is solved with the right UX).
Does the Streisand Effect apply to this too? Does this end up with more quote tweeting?
- vonmoltke 7y agoThe TC article linked to the blog post announcing this, but didn't link to the page describing how the public interest feature works: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/public-interest https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/public-intere... In short, it's not just silently making the Tweet non-interactive (as the article implies). It's similar to the existing "sensitive content" UX.
- Brendinooo 7y agoNice. Thanks for this.
- bertil 7y agoThank you for the link. I understand the general rule against violence, but I feel like, when dealing with elected officials, you have to specify a difference between legitimate military action and calls to civilian violence. I don’t think anyone would object that Twitter hosts an announcement from the Staatsminister of Netherlands that she has decided to join the coalition of the willing and to send troops to Afghanistan, but that’s a clear call to violence and people will die because of that decision.
