The former Twitter CEO is not the POTUS, and while the tweet is distasteful, is it really surprising that Twitter doesn't have the resources to flag tweets by every user on the platform? Auto-flagging works for links, not for inciteful remarks. AOC, on the other hand, wasn't talking about death lists, like you imply in your comment, she was talking about people taking responsibility for their actions under the Trump regime.
> Whatever pretzel-like justifications one may come up with for the obvious double-standard, the average person no longer believes in neutrality of media or of any of the major tech platforms.
Yes, because the average American is a fascist at this point. This says more about average people than it says about tech platforms, though.
- forgingahead 6y agoThanks for proving my point about "pretzel-like justifications"! The downvotes are also helpful since they clearly demonstrate the refusal of one group to engage and simply censor differing viewpoints by greying them out. I hope your last sentence is made in jest, because that is not a good basis in which to engage with the world.
