Can we not have opinions on trade and economics on social media now?
These companies have too much control over public discourse.

#13"Let's suspend everything that seems to be offensive but if public starts to make a big deal out of it, just say there was a bug with our automated software for filtering content. It's not like anyone will ever look at our code"
The automated software is intended to predict and prevent public backlash. They aren't lying.

You didn't read the latest guidelines? They specifically ban [redacted] unless you're arguing that [redacted] didn't have anything to do with [redacted]. Unless of course, you've accepted money from [redacted], then you are welcome to criticize [redacted] as long as you mark posts as promotional.
It's really pretty easy. Just visit: [redacted] for more details.

#16Seems to be a mistake, possibly automated: >On this post, Twitter messaged that your account is temporarily blocked. You are seeing this message because some unusual activity has occurred from this account.
Wow. Building and operating a massive unaccountable automated system to deboost and/or silence undesirable speech is now OK because 'it was a mistake'.
Edit. At what point are the users and/or the public at large owed a detailed postmortem for those 'mistakes'?

#19Up until now, many have been cheering Twitter bans and attacking FB for not doing the same since it aligned with their political views. This kind of behavior by tech giants is bad, regardless if you agree or not with who they are suspending or banning.

Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad. I think they are a private company with free speech, and people should just not use their products if they don’t like it.
