- ElectronShak 5y agoStrategically, Uganda is an ally of the US, in the East and Central African region, but progressive Twitter heads obviously don't like Uganda's politics right now.

- NoGravitas 5y agoIt's like how Reddit banned /r/chapotraphouse the same day they banned /r/thedonald in order to look "fair and balanced".
- Reuzel 5y agoState-linked information-warfare offense and defense is part of the US military. US analysts should have more information than even Twitter has. When they find an enemy operation, they could tip of Twitter and let them discover, remove, and unveil the entire network. If you can show an obvious US state-linked propaganda network on Twitter, you too, can get US propaganda censored. These smaller and blatant networks seems to be what the US experimented with decades ago. Offensive and defense now should be very strong. Twitter being a US company surely contributes to that strong position.
