- Karunamon 4y agoIt is definitely federally illegal on the grounds of sanctions [1], if not treason, to knowingly provide service to the Islamic State. Twitter's hands are tied.

- cycomanic 4y agoSo I guess government restricting free speech is fine?
- indecisive_user 4y agoWhataboutism. Government passing laws on free speech is unrelated to internet platforms enforcing arbitrary rules depending on the outrage mob of the week.
- sfifs 4y agoIf you are in a democratic country, your society has explicitly granted your government authority through your voting systems to be the ultimate arbiter and parts of it can and does get revoked as the will of the society changes.
- cycomanic 4y agoAlso I am not certain that publishing tweets is a violation of sanctions?
- concordDance 4y agoPersonally I complained about that to anyone who'd listen.
