Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com)
With public backlash growing, Twitter says it's taking steps to crack down on hate speech, from making it easier to report alleged incidents on the social media service to educating moderators on what kind of conduct violates the rules. From a report on USA Today: Twitter users will also gain more control over their experience on Twitter with the ability to mute words and phrases, even entire conversations, if they don't want to receive notifications about them, said Del Harvey, Twitter's head of safety. The effort comes as an uptick in biased graffiti, assaults and other incidents have been reported in the news and on social media since Election Day, prompting president-elect Donald Trump to call for people to "stop it" during a 60 Minutes interview on Sunday night. The FBI reports that hate crimes rose 7% in 2015, led by attacks on Muslim Americans.
Actually, they've both asked people to make the transition as peaceful as possible and told the public to accept the results of the election.

What the hell is it with Trump supporters and this persecution/plot mentality.
Oh right fascism, #7 on the list if you're interested.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
Let me ask you. Who is a greater threat? A mob of spoiled brat, dragging people out of cars, ganging up on little girls, bashing pregnant women's car windows in ....
Or a someone chanting "Build a wall" ?
This is what is known as the False Dilemma.
I am not denying there are people that "hate" out there, and bigots and such, but they are pretty much feckless cowards mostly hiding behind anonymity.
Except there you are denying them. Ok, ok, I'll qualify it, you're downplaying them. Here.
Elsewhere, you made a denial about the 1950s.
On the other hand, there seems to be hundreds of thousands of people willing to cause mayhem protesting our democratic republic after an election, where people actually get to register their voice, and what is supposed to be a "peaceful" transition of power.
And here was have Exaggeration.
Or that is what Hillary and the Left were claiming just 4 months ago.
Sorry, the REAL danger are the precious snowflakes throwing temper tantrums like spoiled three year olds who don't get the toy they wanted, who are literally kicking and screaming because someone (over half of Americans who voted) said "no".
Yes, this is belittlement, and discrediting. After all, if you can portray them as unworthy, you can dismiss them. And hey, remember all the complaints about Agent provocateurs?
Bet you can't acknowledge that instigators may be operating under a False Flag.
