Wouldn't want to impinge on your free speeches. Dissident dialogue might be unfairly silenced, such as this comment: https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/3631602

  Interesting that lower down the comment is referred to as a joke. However, things said that are clearly jokes, can result in arrest and prosecution, then jail. Weird.

    That's a different user referring to a different comment made over voice chat on xbox.

On the other hand, given how serious rape threats are, you would presumably agree that anyone who used those rape threats to pressure for censorship of political viewpoints they disagreed with was trivialising rape and should be called out for doing so?
  • parfe 13y ago
    Are you saying the victims of rape threats are trivialising rape by expecting twitter to intervene?
    • makomk 13y ago
      No. It is, so far as I know, possible for Twitter to intervene against rape threats without also engaging in censorship of undesirable political viewpoints.
  • andrewcooke 13y ago
    no, not at all. how is talking about the threat of something trivialising it? you're just playing cheap word games for politics.
