Twitter shadow bands people who post racist and anti-whatever material in violation of its Terms of Service. That many conservatives complain about being banned under this rule is rather telling, no?


That's what Twitter (Dorsey) says. Reality is much different.
If this were the criteria, Farrakhan would be banned.

They have "their" rules. And, they are pretty opaque.

Chuck Ross, a reporter at The Daily Caller, was recently suspended from Twitter after making a "learn to code" meta joke—an incident that calls into question the company's earlier claims regarding the problematic quip.

A few weeks ago, The Wrap's Jon Levine reported that a "person in the know" had told him tweeting "learn to code" at a laid-off journalist would be considered a violation of the platform's terms of service, and could result in a ban. Twitter swiftly clarified that the phrase "learn to code" itself would not be considered harassment unless directed at specific individuals as part of a targeted campaign. The company routinely takes action against such kinds of communication, whether or not they are insinuations that coding experience is a better path to financial stability than journalism.

"Twitter is responding to a targeted harassment campaign against specific individuals—a policy that's long been against the Twitter Rules," a spokesperson told me.

On Sunday afternoon, Ross sent a "learn to code" tweet that should not have been considered harassment under the above definition. The tweet is screenshotted here. A writer for State Scoop had quoted former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, as saying that a 34-year-old geologist who works for ExxonMobil should "be sharpening their other skills." Ross quote-tweeted the statement, adding "learn to code." This was clearly a joke directed at the theoretical geologist, not the State Scoop writer.

Nevertheless, Ross was suspended by Twitter around 10:00 p.m., shortly after President Trump had retweeted one of his articles.

I love that the cow account is trolling the heck out of him.


Devin Nunes' Cow went from 7,500 followers yesterday to over 200,000 this evening. Multiple accounts now have his name. I like Devin Nunes's Thin Skin the best.


The cow is now at 412,000 - more than Nunes himself.



I might need to get a Twitter account - just for the cow.

Twitter doesn't shadow ban conservatives, it shadow bans racists and troublemakers so they don't sh!t all over everything and ruin it for everyone.


And, this is why Farrakhan is still allowed on Twitter. Sure.


Farrakhan is pretty conservative. Maybe not the type of conservative you like, but conservative in that nutty religious way.

And Trump...

Dorsey basically said that famous people can violate the TOS because their tweets are newsworthy, or something to that effect.

OK, I’ll assume for the moment that Nunes’s “Twitter has an anti-conservative bias” argument is true.

You know who is in a really great position to conduct an investigation into the motivations and practices of an American company? Or to promote legislation to regulate it? Or propose ways it could increase its transparency for its users? A United States Congressman representing the state where that company is located.

So why doesn’t he do any of that, instead of filing this literally laugh out loud freak show of a lawsuit?

“It’s no easy feat to be the most thin-skinned man in American politics these days, especially given that the country is run by a short-fingered vulgarian who compulsively tweets about every real and perceived slight against him. But Devin Nunes has done the impossible and surpassed even Donald Trump in hypersensitivity.”
