The average person isn’t capable enough to judge information for themselves; we need people in power to curate what is seen.
I hope this is just missing the sarcasm tag?
I'm sure they granted themselves this power in the Terms of Service, if not then I'm sure they've granted themselves the power to update the Terms of Service
I’d like to see Antifa added to this growing list as well. The article states this group has “ties to dangerous real-world activities”. Does anyone know of any? Or is this just conjecture? The article’s statement was fairly vague.

That's not the evidence you think it is. In sports analogies That would be the equivalent of brian windhorst tweeting out something and then you saying that it came "Directly from LeBron James". People are not responsible for what their ignorant fans say.

He retweeted a video wherein a man yelled white power.
I watched the video and it seemed pretty obvious that the old man responded mockingly to the other person accusing him of white power. I don’t think the driver was actually chanting white power as a claim that white power was his desire. Now, there’s certainly an argument for not making such a response and to channel anger better and not joke about such things. But I don’t think retweeting that video is a show of sup…
