Reply to comment by [deleted] in LPT: You know those people in the news that make you cringe? The people that shouldn't have the platform they do? Stop talking about them. Stop clicking on them. Swipe past them. by 4ninawells

The only difference between then and now is that racists and totalitarians on the left and the right will now be allowed, instead of exclusively those on the left. You're allowed to have opinions, even horrible opinions, so long as you don't threaten people. Also, people wrongly accused of racism will likely no longer be punished (which was of course selectively enforced).

Fingers crossed

Twitter was a weird platform for it's content enforcement

ISIS? Not fine but we'll take months to react to them.

Trump? Ban.

People using alt-right emojis? Ban.

Someone being racist to white people? All good.

Verification was even stranger for me, random safe political commentators could get verified but I couldn't get my gaming studio done with proof of address, bills, a game on steam, registered trademark, business bank with a trading name and more if they asked. Absolutely infuriating
