[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hucker has his opinion. He did not violate the Twitter ToS with that tweet. He also didn't reach many people with it, as he has 2,000-ish followers.

When you don't like things on Twitter and you don't want to log off, you may find that the mute button is useful. Starting a DCUM thread about a tweet, particularly a tweet that's been retweeted once and liked 8 times seems like a lot of drama. Also, the dude has a DSA rose in his username. You know what you're going to get when you read his tweets and follow him. [/quote]

"[b]Learn to code" didn't violate Twitter's ToS, either, but users still got banned for #learntocode in replying to tweets about journalists being laid off. [/b]

Let's not pretend Twitter is impartial and unbiased, ok? They are as partisan as any other leftist org. [/quote]

The “learn to code” tweets were removed because they were deemed targeted harassment, which is a TOS violation. The tweets started when 4chan users selected certain individuals to target and directed myriad users to use the same phrase in their harassment campaign. Some laid-off journalists received hundreds of these messages, and many of them were also accompanied by anti-Semitic illustrations.

So, if/when Hucker organizes a mob of thousands of Twitter users to harass Cuccinelli by using the same phrase over and over and over again, then you’ll have a case. If you truly think the situations are commensurate, social media must be constantly aggravating to you. I recommend avoiding Twitter altogether.[/quote]
