Newly revised Twitter "hateful conduct" policy:https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/hateful-conduct-policy …

For example: "People suffering from schizophrenia are about six times more likely to commit murder." This is a terrible thing to say! Most people with schizophrenia are harmless! Nevertheless, this is a fact. eg: https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/pn.46.17.psychnews_46_17_20_2 … Am I going to get suspended now?

"Men are more likely than women to commit violent crimes" is wrongthink now? Truly incredible.

Not a protected category!

I dunno. Many people were upset to learn that laws which outlaw discrimination based on race do, in fact, outlaw discrimination against white people. If the "protected category" is "sex" or "gender", rather than "women", then it may be.

Guess we'll find out!

Twitter will enforce this TOS evenhandedly just once and then all the bluecheck brahmin and their friends will cry and scream and moan about it until they relent because in Twitter's eyes these are their core demographic.

The actual policy of pure whim I assume is unchanged, so this seems interesting chiefly because they believe this is a politically useful face to present to the public. I have no positive expectations of Twitter, but that part worries me.

Not only that, but it's outright dangerous for the people twitter supposedly wants to "protect" because now you can't publicly identify which groups are a threat to you. It pretty much kills any sort of realtalk on anti-LGBT+ hatecrimes.
