I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

Yeah, it's still there under "Abusive Behavior":

quote:

Context matters when evaluating for abusive behavior and determining appropriate enforcement actions. Factors we may take into consideration include, but are not limited to whether:

the behavior is targeted at an individual or group of people;
the report has been filed by the target of the abuse or a bystander;
the behavior is newsworthy and in the legitimate public interest.

Interesting though, is this bit about Twitter badges. Not sure if it's new or not...

quote:

Misuse of Twitter badges

You may not use badges, including but not limited to the “promoted” or “verified” Twitter badges, unless provided by Twitter. Accounts using unauthorized badges as part of their profile photos, header photos, display names, or in any way that falsely implies affiliation with Twitter or authorization from Twitter to display these badges, may be suspended.

Not terribly clear (by design for wiggle room, I'm sure), on if this covers things like Assange's Fake diamond badge.

if trump is out in 2020 and still alive in, like, 2024 i could easily see him being enough of an unhinged fringe figure that they ban him by then since getting tossed out and democrats reversing large swaths of what he did would send him completely over the loving edge especially as dementia got worse

still unlikely but i didn't want to rule it out

Yeah, I think at this point it's clear they didn't have a "hit list" of accounts to eliminate, just formally enforcing the new rules now so anyone* who violates them from now on will get hit.

So far today Cerno's only retweeted a bunch of news and posted a link to a Brietbart article, so he's not done anything actionable yet.

* We all know these new rules will not apply to anyone of power or anyone who is friendly with the Nazi Admins.

It seems like they're flagging poo poo manually though. The ban wave doesn't seem to have hit South American Nazis yet and they love 14/88 and putting swastikas in their profile pictures so you think it'd be easy enough to detect them with an algorithm.

I never can understand why people in this situation don't just say, "Hey, you seem really interesting. Let's talk more after you're in college!" I mean, I get that they're gross reptilian predators, but one would think they'd have some kind of self-preservation instinct.

Yep. Manafort was already on and replaced by Bannon at that point iirc. He was already up to his eyeballs in it.

Now that I think of it that's sort of strange because they absolutely had to have known everything Manafort was up to so the only way I can read this was they were gently hinting that he had to clean up yesterday. Of course Trump didn't

I wonder if Cernovich will escape the purge or if jack's going to get rid of him too despite being a fan.

Twitter will probably purge a bunch of antifa too because it's run mostly by assholes.

There are some antifa/BLM Twitter accounts being run out of Russia, pretending to represent these groups in American cities.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...m=.b2001b8f7732

https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/59dwed/a-fake-antifa-account-was-busted-for-tweeting-from-russia-vgtrn

Probably some others are run by regular ol' American alt-right types looking to tarnish their opponents. These accounts might get banned, and that would be fine.

They won't be able to do the same with the inevitable GA resolution, but it's not like anyone actually cares what the GA has to say. Frankly, I'm surprised the SC bothered with that in the first place, even as a political statement, it's pretty silly.
