Twitter Bans 'Hateful Conduct' (reuters.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Twitter has updated their site rules to prohibit "behavior intended to harass, intimidate, or use fear to silence another user's voice." According to the new rules, "You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or disease." This follows criticism that Twitter (and other social networks) haven't done enough to prevent the ramblings of the Islamic State and other terrorist groups. "Tuesday's announcement did not disclose changes to Twitter's enforcement strategy. A company spokesman declined to say if any were in the works. The new rules also said that Twitter might respond to reports that somebody is considering 'self-harm' by contacting the person to express concern and provide contact information to mental health practitioners."
x1000 SJWs rejoice, now they can muzzle any and all opponents by crying "hate speech".
It seems you live in an alternate reality where SJWs are on the side of good. They are not. Any movement or political thought that seeks to ban free speech is the enemy of all of civilization.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
lol sjw are bad because i saw it on an internet forum
No, SJW's are bad because they get people kicked out their colleges, fired from their jobs, and even imprisoned simply for expressing opinions that disagree with their own radical ideology.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Going out of your way to get someone fired/arrested/expelled isn't a "consequence".
It's you being a complete dick to someone who happens to not believe the same thing as you do.
PERIOD.
