Re: Twitter consistent policy
Twitter does have a consistent and long track record of allowing violent Twitter posts by the military personnel of nation states.
Distinguishing acceptable violent speech and unacceptable violent speech is to Twitter a complicated exercise in navigating power and ideology in 2020 America.
- ecf 6y agoTwitter doesn’t need to be consistent about anything. You abide by their TOS or don’t use it, the same way a store with “No shoes, no shirt, no service” can kick you out.
- klipt 6y agoMaybe it's not legally necessary, but consistency is good for user trust. Plenty of things are legal that are still bad for business.
- thundergolfer 6y ago> You abide by their TOS or don’t use it This is not the case for many people on Twitter. If you're powerful or protected by the powerful, you don't have to follow the TOS.
