    So...if I violate their rules a few times, I can assume they will grant me the same leeway?https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1028085977263296512 …

    New: After our review of the Alex Jones and InfoWars accounts, Twitter now concedes rules were violated multiple times. But it says InfoWars and Jones will remain on the platform for now. http://money.cnn.com/2018/08/10/media/infowars-twitter-alex-jones/index.html …

        You wouldn't. I don't agree with your politics but you're a good person who never turns to racial animus or fear mongering to achieve your goals. You'd never be in Jones' situation

        The algorithm calculates your worth to the platform and decides. You don't think humans are involved do you? Also, the "shadow-banning" thing means they have to play both sides once in a while because there are "fine people" on both sides to pay attention to. #Skynet2020

        Define violating their rules? Chances are thousands of tweets daily violate their rules yet get no punishment. It’s only because @RealAlexJones is the flavor or the day

        I liked the good old days when everyone agreed on the fact Alex Jones was a lunatic. The reason Jones has become such a pariah on the media landscape is the endless reporting on his latest crazy statements. The best thing we can do to combat his misinformation is ignore him!

        If you had READ @jack's statement (which @oliverdarcy did not do) you would have seen that he said he was not going to apply the rule when the rules didn't even exist when the tweets were written. Not that hard to understand, but I get @CNN has to make a story out of everything.

        It’s cause Twitter makes millions and millions of dollars off high profile highly followed people. It’s the same reason why they won’t sensor Donald Trump. He’s a cash cow for them. It’s like when Trump said, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

        Rather stunning decision. Or is it a stunned decision? Good call Matt. You and I couldn't get away with this on social media. I keep thinking I can't be shocked any longer with the news lately. I have been proven incorrect.
