Re: Twitter employee deactivates Trump account
#2This article shines light on the power bestowed upon Twitter employees. They can randomly deactivate one's account, and unless you're the president, you might not have any recourse.
Particularly worrisome is the general left leaning political and social affiliation of such employees. We are an era of systemic censorship of right leaning speech by popular internet platforms.
I'm personally center left, but in no way do I condone the actions of the new breed of leftists, from SJWs claiming "free speech as torture" to wanting "safe spaces" everywhere

someone has to do it...they can't have a board meeting each time they deactivate any random account. I'm sure for VIP accounts safeguards will be put in place.
Why was the employee allowed access after being fired /leaving is the question.

Now that's FU money, because they'll need it.
"Great resume. So, you were at Twitter. And you got fired for what exactly...?

Just treat these companies as media companies with editorial discretion instead of as utilities.
Really, the moment you start to take advertising, you're responsible for content. Professional advertisers have specific rules about content they can associate with. I've worked with them and they're strict about that, for example, they can't show a beautiful fashion spread next to a bloody image in a magazine. That's just basic advertising and branding.
And once you have editorial discretion, you can do whatever you want with content, and no one can complain. Your policy can be made simpler. "Don't piss off Bob" can be a perfectly valid editorial policy, instead of whatever complication Facebook has to go through in determining policy.
I also think this would encourage the creation of more competing social media outlets, which is probably why the dominant ones like to think of themselves as utilities.

There are literally nazis promoting themselves on twitter without censorship, so I disagree with your claim.
