After this, if I lived in any non-US country I'd be wanting for them to register or face as much wrath as that country can impose on twitter. The EU should be able to make them feel some pain hopefully.
Twitter's rules are open ended with tons of room for judgement calls.
So now an anonymous, under payed SV employee (or soon an underpaid Indian) will be making decisions that affect the politics of a country? What if the employee making the decision against, say, the leaders of Palestine, is an Israeli? Or the other way around? Surely we can't consider those two impartial to each other. Will we ever know such a situation even happened?
With no public registry of these actions? Their promise to 'maybe' put out a formal announcements when a leader is shadow banned, is that really a promise or will they later reference the fact that they said 'may'?
There's no formal system of recourse? No local representation? And all based on a US system of values?
Seems very sketchy and to me it reeks of fascism. Literally the opposite of democracy and open information.
Doesn't matter if you hate the right or the left. Open and free societies benefit everyone. This is a big step in the other direction.
