    Twitter has previously announced that today's the day they will start kicking off users who affiliate with groups that "promote violence against civilians." We'll see! https://www.recode.net/2017/12/17/16787644/twitter-rules-alt-right-accounts …

        If Twitter wants to purge far-right accounts... ok. Why not simply state that instead of dressing it up as something loftier

        Of course they will ignore those "it's okay to punch a Nazi" types

        Of course not. Politicians advocating violence, police, current and former military members will not be purged. More's the pity.

        Somehow I think "promotes violence" will be loosely interpreted, as well.

        Yep. No more guillotine jokes. They'll ignore ACTUAL promotion of violence and go after the rhetorical stuff.

        I hope they don't attempt to cover up for the aspects of domestic terrorism

        ironic that they thought getting rid of NN would magically force Twitter and other companies from stopping censorship. It's like they have committed self-destruction and I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad.

        So they're going to kick off most of the U.S. Federal government?

        I guess @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenJohnMcCain will have to find another medium to promote war.
