Perhaps Twitter doesn’t want to bake a gay wedding cake.


I respect their right to be a publisher, but their shareholders might not like the slew of lawsuits that represents.

maybe their shareholders are more concerned with giving white nationalists and bigots a platform though...

Twitter deciding which of the presidents tweets should be seen and to what extent based on their interpretation of what's in the "public's interest" is obviously a big deal.


Should Twitter be forced to spread a non policy tweet where the president is having on of his man baby fits against an individual?

You guys love to snowflake out over this but the reality has not shown your slippery slopes

Let's see what tweets end up on this and go from there. I'd bet the insults will be the problem and all of his other shit not attacking individuals over and over gets left alone

They shouldn't have to spread out specific tweets of insults and harrassment if they dont want to

Ah yes the infamous slippery slope of allowing too much individual expression at the expense of a collective / institutional desire for censorship.

Yeah I dont really care that the manbaby president might not be able to have a tweet targeting an individual get spread by Twitter as much

And the tweet still exists on his page for anyone to check out if they so wish

Yes. Twitter should be forced to spread all non policy tweets that are not pornography and do not represent tangible physical threats / harassment. That is in keeping with the spirit of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

I don't know about slippery slopes, but we've certainly progressed from "we don't shadow-ban anyone" to "we have a team demoting Trump tweets we don't like" in short order. Talk about escalating quickly.
