Twitter has changed its rules and added a new line which says it is "A violation of policy to post media of private individuals without the permission of the person(s) depicted."
Naturally, this includes 95%+ of all images of people on twitter, ie anything but a celebrity.
And as such, twitter has laid out right in the blog post that they will selectively apply this rule as they see fit, rather than any objective criterion;

Quote
When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authorized representative, that they did not consent to having their private image or video shared, we will remove it. This policy is not applicable to media featuring public figures or individuals when media and accompanying Tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse.
We will always try to assess the context in which the content is shared and, in such cases, we may allow the images or videos to remain on the service. For instance, we would take into consideration whether the image is publicly available and/or is being covered by mainstream/traditional media (newspapers, TV channels, online news sites), or if a particular image and the accompanying tweet text adds value to the public discourse, is being shared in public interest, or is relevant to the community.


In other words, they will ban you for posting images of Hunter Biden doing cocaine. They will ban you for posting images of Antifa rioting in public. They will ban you for posting images that go against their political narratives, what they believe is the "public interest"
But at the same time, they'll allow pictures of Trump kids and Jan 6th rioters and whatever else suits their agenda, even if its under completely identical circumstances.

Its pretty bold that they are actually codifying a rule that says pretty much all content is in violation but only if going to be applied on an arbitrary basis.

The left uses absolutely everything to personal advantage and their goal is the total destruction of their enemies. How they have somehow managed to convince themselves of any kind of moral superiority on anything at all just shows how far things have fallen.

The Right still has so many fuckin dorks who think there's still rules to play by or things to conserve. It's pathetic but fortunately that's improving, but it needs to improve a lot faster.

Rumor is that Twitter's investors forced out Jack Dorsey because he was too invested in freedom of speech for their liking, lol.

Yep, Twitter is going to be even more fucked now. Dorsey just has a very punchable face so he got more heat than he earned.

The timing of it is sure suspicious. Dorsey steps down, and twitter simultaneously adds this new extremely open-ended rule they can cite to purge pretty much every trending story that doesn't suit their agenda.
They could purge any pictures of Jussie Smollett's Nigerian trainers, or Darrell Brooks Jr, or George Floyd while doped up, or especially Hunter Biden- and then turn around and allow pictures of Kyle Rittenhouse in highschool or Barron Trump or whoever else they want to target.
They'll just cite their total and unaccountable discretion

I mean... even today, Twitter is already a left-wing echo chamber in large parts. And a cesspool in general.

If they become more or less openly partisan, that might have a positive impact in the long run by facilitating a split of social media along partisan lines. Alternatives to Twitter/Facebook cannot succeed as long as a big chunk of the people on the right-of-center spectrum still stick with the originals. Twitter becoming unbearably partial and partisan might push out the remaining conservatives and normies.

This post might as well have just been a fart. Had just about as much relevance and compelling information as one.

Sounds pretty accurate.

We conceivably already live under corporate shareholder fascism. We are just allowed comfort if we bend the knee to their designs.

Big tech was truly an unforseen complication with regards to the founding of this country.

The founders would have never allowed billionaire interests to obscure their actions within an un-auditable software black box that allows them to do whatever they want - from money laundering to mass propaganda.
