    Default HAHA. Twitter's new policy to CENSOR-THE-RIGHT has totally backfired.!!

    They banned showing images of private individuals and now the right is using that policy to force twitter to ban liberals who post images of right wing protesters.

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/03/tech/...use/index.html

    dec 4 2021 CNN Business)Twitter acknowledged on Friday that a new policy it unveiled this week to protect users from harassment is being abused by malicious actors — days after journalists, left-wing activists and self-described "sedition hunters" reported their accounts had been locked for sharing publicly available images of anti-maskers, anti-vaccine protesters and suspected Capitol insurrectionists.

    The acknowledgment highlights how Twitter has been caught flat-footed by what it described in a statement as "a significant amount of coordinated and malicious" activity that led to "several errors" in Twitter's enforcement.

    Unveiled on Tuesday, Twitter's new policy prohibits the sharing of images of private individuals without those people's consent. The rule was created, Twitter initially said, in a bid to prevent its platform from being abused to harass and intimidate people, particularly women, activists and minorities.

    But right-wing groups and anti-mask activists have quickly determined that the new Twitter policy offers an opportunity to strike back at those who might draw attention to their real-world identities. And in a matter of days, they established a coordinated campaign to flood Twitter with complaints that left-wing activists, Jan. 6 investigators and journalists covering rallies have published their faces without consent in violation of the new rule.

    Why is it liberal companies are allowed to ban people from their business but if a conservative businessman tries to ban blacks (because they steal) he's told no can do.???

    Leftists never learn. They assume that the policies they dream up to repress people they don't like can't ever be turned against them.

    They do the same thing with laws.

    Censor the right? Head in ass much? Where do you think all those lovely right-wing posts from some of their finest lunatics and propagandists are posted? Twitter is a smorgasbord of the politically off the wall from both sides and it's not censored.

    So what.? Cake companies are private businesses too and they are NOT allowed to refuse service child rapists.

    I'm all for letting private businesses refuse service to anyone for any reason but that rule has to apply to businesses run by conservatives too.
