I'm glad they did it because I think it finally opens the door to erosion of their powerhttps://twitter.com/ccneill/status/1348030951012642826 …

not specifically bothered by his account ban, but am bothered by how nothing is done for years and then without the rules explicitly changing, there is a purge of right-wing accounts across multiple platforms, as well as OS-level bans of competing platforms.

i think that what is chilling is the total inconsistency in how the rules are applied (re: violent protests in 2020), in combination with every tech company *suddenly* moving in lockstep to totally eradicate the speech and popular authorities of 46.8% of the population.

Twitter's efficient justification for suspension would have been "we are a commercial entity and we were tired of dealing with the problems that this specific person creates for us." Instead they went with a quasi-regulatory rationale based on principles. Much less efficient.

Skokie Illinois. Even if i don’t agree with what you say, I agree with your right to say it.

Do you ever wonder about how this reflects the network bubble of your followers vs. broader opinion? In any case, I’m not bothered, to me the Trump ban falls into the COVID tech acceleration bandwagon.

The practical consequences (eg nations building their own) were on their way (China already did it) And the free speech debate was also under way. It was all just going slower before COVID I think.

For me, it looks like from this point onwards, Twitter will have to play an active role in censoring tweets/ enforcing TOS. Will be more difficult e.g. They had to revisit the Chinese embassy tweet. Alternative required less energy
