Rant: Trolls crying "censorship" after being banned from Twitter


Dark Qiviut

Trolls and idiots on Twitter believe being suspended and banned from there violates their freedom of speech.

 

Protip: It doesn't. It isn't a government agency; they have specific rules to follow, and the website has a huge infestation of unchecked hate speech, bullying, and other forms of communication that make others feel unsafe. Twitter can't prosecute you, but they can take your tweeting privileges away as punishment. Twitter must come down harder on bullying and hate speech. Unless Twitter takes control of this bullying culture there, it'll be like Tumblr and slowly die.

Rules are rules. I only wish they would apply more equally across the political spectrum. How many radical leftists have you heard of getting banned for harassment?

Took the words right out of my mouth. ;)

Is your statement that Tumblr is dying based on usage statistics, or some kind of site culture thing?

A bit of both. Its financial growth has been slow. Other social networks, including Snapchat and Giphy, have become more trendy to use than Tumblr. In addition, customer service is a pile of garbage; abuse runs rampant there unfiltered and tolerated. If staff there turns the other way from this type of behavior, then you'll make people want nothing to do with it.
