Over the weekend, Twitter responded by suspending about 1,500 accounts associated with the NPC trolling campaign. The accounts violated Twitter’s rules against “intentionally misleading election-related content,” according to a person familiar with the company’s enforcement process. The person, who would speak only anonymously, was not authorized to discuss the decision.

Freedom of speech so scary. The double standards are real. You're going to ban a bunch of trolls for “intentionally misleading election-related content,” give no evidence or exactly wtf that means, but leftist smear campaigns about how Trump is literally Hitler or how he has concentration camps for brown kids, how Republicans are all racist and so on are totally fine.

Were there any substantial twitter accounts banned? Or just fake ones for the sake of the meme and making fun of liberals? Because every website regularly prunes those kinds of accounts.

Yes, 1500 accounts. Seems substantial to me. What exactly is fake about those accounts? They are linked to actual people, with actual email addresses.

I don't see social media giants blanket ban shit posters on the left. Have you been on twitter? There are literally tens of thousands of people that cry and post either half-truths, blatant lies or hyperboles of what Trump or Republicans are doing and Twitter doesn't see that as “intentionally misleading election-related content,”

Seems like the meme about Silicon Valley being really hurt by the NPC meme is a reality.

By substantial accounts i mean ones posting actual content outside of the npc meme.

Troll accountd are regularly culled, that there was a big wave of new troll accounts isnt really news.

The doublespeak reason they used is the worst part of it. They picked a single NPC account saying the election was on November 7th and used that as their only public reason for banning 1500+ accounts from an organic, grassroots meme. They went as far as autobanning all accounts with variants of 'npc' in their names as soon as they're created and putting a filter in that banned new accounts with gray portraits.

Its not like they said "these accounts are trolls and therefore against our rules and banned". Because twitters rule's don't actually forbid parody accounts;
>You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others. While you may maintain parody, fan, commentary, or newsfeed accounts, you may not do so if the intent of the account is to engage in spamming or abusive behavior. Read more about our impersonation policy.


The simple fact is, someone in twitter's leadership felt threatened by a conservative meme and banned it. Then they lied about why they banned it.
