    Jeet Heer Retweeted That Tom Tomorrow guy

    This is, even by Twitter standards, nutso. @mattbors made a joke about creating a super-serum Nazi fighting soldier. Might as well ban Jack Kirby.https://twitter.com/tomtomorrow/status/1060312359464509441 …

        Replying to @HeerJeet @MattBors

        My friend got suspended for making a moderately clever, perfectly normal dad joke about Conservative Election Day being Wednesday. Apparently NO ONE has a sense of humor about that any more.

        New from me: A true brain genius accidentally invited me to a secret far-right troll chat on Discord, coordinating disinformation campaigns ahead of the midterms. For weeks, I saw them struggle to get around Twitter's banhammer, which is finally working. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/secret-chats-trolls-struggle-get-twitter-disinformation-campaigns-ground-n931756 …

        Replying to @HeerJeet @MattBors

        Twitter needs to stop trying to police content. Not only does it potentially place them at future legal risk, categorizing them as a publisher rather than a platform, but it also destroys the spirit of a medium of free exchange. This isn't middle school. We can handle adversity.

        That's not true, either. They absolutely need to ban people who are threatening, harassing, and abusing others. Or who are supporting groups, policies, or events that are. It's there job to keep the site safe for users.

        Jeet, based on who they don't ban, do you think this is not intentional?
