I don't understand it. What does this mean?

nauticant · 19/12/2017 18:50

It means stuff like this:

Apparently we'll have to fight a war now and millions will die.

There seems to be some confusion over the concepts of rights versus entitlements.

"If an account's profile information includes a violent threat or multiple slurs, epithets, racist or sexist tropes, incites fear, or reduces someone to less than human, it will be permanently suspended," it explained.

Interesting. So all these accounts that invite people to 'punch terfs' and such will now be permanently suspended?

terf is a slur in itself tbh.

I have heard of various feminists accounts being suspended due to statements like "women don't have dicks"

PricklyBall · 19/12/2017 19:19

Yes, twitter's rules appear to be "TERF, die in a fire having first been raped by my lady dick" = perfectly acceptable example of free speech, "transwomen retain male biology" = hate speech.

But they have done the right thing suspending the Britain First twunts - just goes to show even a stopped clock can be right twice a day.

They first removed BNP accounts, now we're onto woman stating biological facts.

@msjenniferjames is trying to get them to take ATH down but I bet they won't!

Twitter is a fucking cesspit that takes no responsibility for anything, I've barely been back on there five minutes and I've attracted five paedophile accounts, no option for them under report.

You can report a pedophile account on twitter here;

The Twitter purge is going to be problematic, because different countries have different laws. For example, where gender self ID is legal, you can't say that a woman doesn't have a penis. In some countries being gay carries the death penalty. The US has freedom of speech, the UK doesn't and hate speech can be prosecuted
.
I dont know how they're going to manage it, but its likely that purges will largely depend on mass reporting and web bots. Thats unlikely to be accurate.

Thanks Irk

Women Criticising men and their crimes against women and girls is now seen as hate speech on there.
You now that don't you?

"As men declared women their inferior, men went on a killing spree, slaughtering millions of females, and those females men did not murder, they cornered and caged in to minimise their world."

No, they didn't like it, when I was saying this on twitter and I kept being asked
"What is wrong with you, why do you hate men?"

And I tried to explain to them, I didn't hate men but I was just focusing on what happened to females in men's history.

Has anyone seen the furore on Twitter about their purge

I’m not a fan of hate speech, but this is very dangerous and will inevitable lead to no platforming everyone with a different view.

Datun · 20/12/2017 14:05

I’m sure one can get one’s point across without making a direct threat to anyone?

I’m totally behind removing threats. But concepts and ideas? However unpalatable. Sounds dodgy.

I should imagine it’s very difficult to police. If you rely on certain keywords and mass reporting.

Loads of Facebook pages have been shut down because of mass reporting, not content.
