It no longer does, at least not for me in web Twitter. Check out for yourself: https://twitter.com/joshuatopolsky/status/160230074530237645... Do you see a warning label or not? I don't. Comment below if you see or not. Update: the difference seems to be logged out or not. If I'm logged in, I don't see the flag. I see it when not logged in.

Not seeing a flag.

For me the tweet is hidden behind a message that I need to change my settings to see sensitive content.

You will not see a warning label if you have "Display media that may contain sensitive content" checked.

Just so you guys know - censorship and bans on Twitter are not at all a thing of the past in the Elon Musk era. There is, of course: https://twitter.com/JulianAssange which is still "Account suspended" but also new suspensions/bans, e.g. left-wing commentator Garland Nixon: https://www.reddit.com/r/WayOfTheBern/comments/z2depd/garlan... and additional examples.

@ElonJet was also limited: https://twitter.com/jxcksweeney/status/1601793874594496512

Can confirm. I didn't see a flag. I unchecked that setting and refreshed. Now it's hidden behind a message that says "The following media includes potentially sensitive content."

Censoring competition/alternatives.

That is quite a stretch. Bitchute is video hosting, so it's not a Twitter competitor. And you're ignoring that it's well known as a host for hate speech. [1][2] [1] https://www.adl.org/blog/bitchute-a-hotbed-of-hate [2] https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2021/02/24/the...

And the internet isn't print journalism, yet it struck a near-fatal blow to newspaper budgets. That's the economic side of it. The other side is, as you say, established media discreetly [1] censoring alternatives that don't toe the line. But I don't care to have my web browsing be censored by the ADL, no matter how they justify it.

Just recently an account that tweeted a video of elon musk being booed was suspended.

Yes, it was a DMCA takedown, for showing a copyrighted Dave Chappelle clip from his unreleased new special. Context is good. You can't just walk into a paid performance show, record it with your cellphone and release it willy nilly.

I'm entirely unfamiliar with DMCA takedown procedures at Twitter, both before and after the purchase, but is full account deletion standard process?

Of course, there's no way for us to know how many strikes the account may have had prior.

Leaving aside discussion of the public dumpster fire going on at Twitter, or the constant shrieking about "free speech", or the weird culture warrior turn its CEO has taken... I've actually been reasonably pleased with Mastodon. It's got its rough edges for sure, but it's weathered the Twitter expatriation storm better than expected, and lots of folks I follow are mirroring their content there. The Fedifinder tool (f…
