Sure, we are back to talking about free speech considerations since now it is not the side most of the tech press hates being blocked.
What Twitter started with when it decided to become the arbiter of what is allowed on the platform, and what constitutes inciting violence and unrest, it opened a slippery slope.
I read about the hashtag in question and it definitely seems like one can spin it as people inciting unrest and violence similar to what happened few weeks back. Twitter lost the moral ground here as soon as it decided to wade into what constitutes good speech and what not.
Anyway, Twitter has been a toxic platform for a while now. It just has managed to evade the scrutiny FB gets. Just look at the sort of activism that goes around there which is related to the current issue. https://www.wsj.com/articles/rihanna-rallies-to-the-wrong-cause-in-india-11612465735 https://www.wsj.com/articles/rihanna-rallies-to-the-wrong-ca...
