At this point. If Trump can violet TOS and get away with it. Why can’t I or a bot. Side need to chosen and battle needs to be fought. It’s a lose lose for the likes of Twitter but at least Twitter is doing the right thing now.
- aeternum 6y agoThe Twitter TOS are pretty ridiculous if you read through them. For example you cannot celebrate, praise, or condone murders or mass shootings committed by civilians. However you can celebrate, praise, and condone murders and mass shootings all you'd like if they were committed by governments.
- lern_too_spel 6y agoFrom Twitter's Glorification of Violence Policy: "Exceptions may be made for violent acts by state actors, where violence was not primarily targeting protected groups." "Exceptions may be made" doesn't sound like "you can [do it] all you'd like."
- aeternum 6y agoRight, but this is another problem which is at the crux of the issue. These exceptions throughout the TOS give Twitter the power to editorialize without requiring them to take on any liability for the content on their site.
