Twitter's online speech norms were created and shaped by lawyers who were deeply knowledgeable of existing First Amendment case law in the U.S. It feels like journalists now want platforms to intentionally deviate from that: https://harvardlawreview.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/1598-1670_Online.pdf … https://twitter.com/TonyRomm/status/1029827909987520512 …

You're spot on here, although I'd go further - we don't simply need new standards, we need a new way of thinking and talking about how to make standards, what it means to have "good" ones in this context, and what we can plausibly expect of enforcement given logistical challenges

I also think there should potentially be externalized accountability (outside of the corporate org) that enforces it to transparently disclose why and how it moderates the way it does.

Twitter is mostly not honoring it’s own values when it comes to accounts that contravene both their ToS and meet standards of speech that aren’t covered by 1A. Jones is a great example. He hasn’t been banned. He’s been suspended and only partially suspended at that.
