    Twitter's standards for when to impose "bans" are clearly arbitrary and therefore highly susceptible to exploitationhttps://twitter.com/cwarzel/status/818160206702084097 …

        They are catering to "power users" and doling out bans based on popular uproar rather than any clear set of rules re: "harassment"

        I don't know whether he deserved it or not: it's the arbitrariness that is insidious.

        I'm not defending anyone, I'm noting the danger inherent to the arbitrary enforcement of secret rules.

        @cwarzel It's easy. They ban conservatives and liberals get a pass on (almost) anything. Or a stern warning at the most.

        Photoshopping a person in images as a crude joke is not harassment. Stalking someone is. She could have blocked him...

        I don't believe for a minute an average user generating dozens of complaints would get the same result.
