    Michael Tracey Retweeted Twitter Safety

    It’s illuminating that so many people, especially journalists, are so angry about this. They *want* Twitter officials to act not just as “arbiters of truth,” but morality. They’re demanding that Twitter assume a power Twitter itself says it does not want!https://twitter.com/twittersafety/status/1026979630249533440 …

    As we have stated publicly, we strongly believe Twitter should not be the arbiter of truth nor do we have scalable solutions to determine and action what’s true or false.

        They already ban people, though. What is garbage is that they keep the Nazis while banning the lefties.

        They’ve banned numerous high-profile right-wingers lately. Silly to suggest there’s some kind of structural bias against the left

        I think the bigger irony is that they argue that FB and Google have the right to remove content at their discretion because they are private companies but scream at another private company for exercising its right NOT to do so.

        “Truth” is oft highly nuanced & subject to interpretation. “THE SUN RISES! No, the Earth turns.” So called “fact checkers” all 💯% bring their bias to work. Much better to let everyone have their say in open forums where ideas can be scrutinized, critiqued, praised or denounced

        It's all very depressing; I'd ignore it by focusing on the schadenfreude the ignorant tankies will be experiencing, but I know honest people who will be hurt by this first: J. Dore, wearechange, T. Black, hell, I doubt even tyt will be spared the rod in the end

        It's not so much that they want Twitter to be arbiters. They want Twitter to enforce their own view of morality, prefferably pre-emptively

        This issue creates more work This is so 'Twitter can offer the solution.which my guess would be a form of AI we have never heard of,plus required new identification to have access to site.3 step program,create a problem,a reaction then offer 'your 'solution,for system of control.

        Yes but they also expect those definitions of truth and morality to dovetail w their own progressive ideas. Basically they want Twitter 2 stamp out voices they disagree with.

        Jack Dorsey alone seems to understand that wearing digital jack boots and standing on the faces of people like Alex Jones is life threatening to platforms like Twitter.
