Twitter has finally explained to
@DavidNeiwert why his account is still suspended, and the response is every bit as dumb as you might have imagined. You can read the full story from David in his@dailykos article. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/6/14/1864834/-Twitter-is-showing-that-it-won-t-even-try-to-distinguish-hate-speech-from-the-efforts-to-oppose-it?fbclid=IwAR35PzJCyt2iLvPG7E27RS_Xszm0i72sR2VjwU9Mg7d4uqp3aYIxhxfTDGU …pic.twitter.com/H9Kt5ypWkz
