JUXTAPOSE!

Ezra Levant putting a public $5,000 bounty on a doctor did not violate Twitter's code of conduct:




I, on the other hand, was suspended from Twitter permanently for describing disgusting pile of human refuse and white nationalist Senator Denise Batters as a "twatwaffle."

Sure, that sounds fair.

Yeah, I got kicked off after commenting that it was wonderful how we could all believe different things, like this Missippi congressman who "belived" that 13-year-old rape victims shouldn't have access to abortion, whereas I "believed" said congressmen should be set on fire and put out with a shovel. Clearly hyperbole but it got me bounced permanently. Meanwhile Ezra is encouraging his flying monkeys to do actual harm to actual people and keeps his account. Twitter is ridiculous.

Twitter's "enforcement" is an example of 'Premature AI'. They have attempted to use AI to automate enforcing a rule system that is designed to regulate humans, with predictably terrible results.

The algorithms routinely slap down what a reasonable human would see as hyperbole and snark, but ignore entirely obvious harassment like Ezra's. Just before Dorsey stepped down, there was an admission that there's bias in their AI engines (distinctly right-libertarian bias), but I see no effort on their part to remediate that bias or introduce a level of transparency to their decision-making.

MgS: I remember the old days when Twitter did nothing about men who openly and explicitly threatened to rape women, but suspended the accounts of women who complained about receiving such threats. As time goes by, I miss that racist, misogynistic dumpster fire less and less.

For the most part, I use Twitter to get my news instantly. I can't be bothered to try and watch 50 news agencies when I can find them all in one place.

I do have people I talk to regularily, but it's mostly in DMs.

On the bright side of Twitter, someone's identified the woman who runs the @fromalberta account that was just suspended. She had said some really nasty things about me. Good to see her deplatformed. For the record, I reported her tweets about me 119 times. Looks like it finally worked.

Oddly enough, we know another piece of shit that lives in the same place currently.
