Twitter bans things like calling people racial slurs, threating violence against people. If I wanted to do one of those things I would hopefully go see a therapist to understand why I'm acting that way.
- bencollier49 6y agoCurrently that's what they ban. The argument is more abstract than that. Should they have that power? UK gov is now talking about regulating them in law to prevent bias. TBH it's not hard to see how this could end in the balkanisation of the net.
- bob33212 6y agoTwitter and most other online platforms have always shut down certain political groups like the KKK. KKK members have been silenced by most businesses. Is it theoretically possible that someone at Twitter or FB could decide that Democrats were the only acceptable party and try to silence everyone else? Yes, that is possible, but it also possible that they will continue to apply the policies the same way going forward. If I didn't like a change they made political or otherwise I would quit, just like I quit digg years ago.
