Source? Also, I remember when Twitter was getting really big one of their prominent founders (May have been jack but I can’t remember) did an interview in which they positioned themselves that social media platforms should use “constitutional logic” (for those not in the states, that’s the USA constitution) when regulating speech in their platform l, which, for better or worse, depending on context and things, “kill all white men” would pass the fee speech test. Interestingly enough I actually can’t find anything that supports the example you’re referring to here. On the other hand I’ve seen tons and tons of sexist, misogynistic, white supremacist tweets that are super prominent on the platform.

In which case "KILL ALL BLACK MEN" would pass too. One is allowed, the other is not. >On the other hand I’ve seen tons and tons of sexist, misogynistic, white supremacist tweets that are super prominent on the platform. I hear that often, but I never see any support for it. When pressed on it, what I get as "proof" is completely mundane posts that only extreme leftists would classify as any of those things.

Perhaps the OP is thinking of Sarah Jeong Twitter activity, of #CancelWhitePeople and NYTimes fame. With pearls as: > Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants. > Are white people genetically disposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins. > oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men. > #CancelWhitePeople > white men are bullshit etc... https://twitter.com/LarryOConnor/status/1025081955400994816 https://twitter.com/LarryOConnor/status/1025081955400994816
