Hard to know when Twitter will censor and un-censor you

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has announced new policies to police behavior on the site which to the casual observer probably seem just fine.

According to BuzzFeed News, Dorsey says the goal now is to focus on "conduct and behaviors on the system," which may be in violation of Twitter's terms of service.

A few of the "signals" that Twitter will use are whether you're tweeting a lot of people you don't follow, "how often you’re blocked by people you interact with," and the most ominous sounding signal of all: "whether your account is closely related to others that have violated its terms of service."

This is all well and good if you think the the behavior of millions of people can and/or should be controlled by a handful of millennials working in one of the most liberal cities in the United States.

Worse yet, they all work for a guy who thinks that there is just a little too much political diversity in this country:

The problem with the people who create popular social media platforms is that they never have the chance to be normal users of them. As such, they are a bit removed from what makes the platform attractive to the common folk, even if they are the ones who created it.

For the most part, Twitter has been the Wild West of the prominent social media platforms. Anyone can follow anyone. There are a lot of crazy people. It's messy.

All of the above are what made Twitter popular and Jack Dorsey very wealthy.

Like Americans of yesteryear who headed to the West, no one goes to Twitter looking for a safe and easy time. At least they didn't when the site was getting popular.

As with almost everything fun now, the Social Justice Warriors showed up and ruined everything. They wake up with their feelings hurt then spend every bit of energy they have for the day finding more things that they can complain about.

It doesn't take more than ninety seconds of looking at Dorsey's tweets and actions as CEO to realize he identifies heavily with the SJWs.
