#2Hopefully, they recognize the group of people who do not practice religion as "basis of religion"

#3I get skin color, sex, gender, sexual orientation etc for protection, but including religion and excluding political word view has always been weird to me. Calling one of the two innate and deserving of protection and the other a choice and undeserving seems like a religious answer.
Narrow down what’s considered — Respondents said that “identifiable groups” was too broad, and they should be allowed to engage with political groups, hate groups, and other non-marginalized groups with this type of language.
And you didn't just tell him to just not de-humanize anybody, instead opting for "okay, that's fine, just don't mention religion when you do it?

#4Interesting. So criticizing religious positions against abortion, against vaccines, against homosexuality, and in favor of the flat earth will now result in post removal. Assuming this policy is going to be impartially and fairly applied as stated.

#5I've been deeply concerned with attacks on religious freedom as of late, this seems like a strong step in the right direction.

It's entirely possible to criticize without dehumanizing.

Censorship is censorship.
At least they admit it.

If Twitter removing posts for their political content is not an attack on free speech, then Twitter users insulting religious people is most certainly not an attack on religious freedom...

#10I'm not convinced centralized models being politically "pushed around" in the age of the internet will succeed. They may likely be a retreat, and long term ebb-and-flow from centralized to decentralized poles.
The centralized but politically watched model is also specially susceptible to Taleb's "The Most Intolerant Wins" theorem.
