The Method Facebook and Twitter use to covertly Censor Political Speech and Interfere in Elections
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Facebook and Twitter justify their right to suspend or shadowban accounts for terms of service violations. These terms of service prohibit much more than unlawful speech, but are also sufficiently vague to suspend accounts for voicing opinions, including doubts about some socially relevant issues. This extrajudicial code is used to silence political opponents and unwanted views by applying the restrictions most uncharitably towards political opponents and not at all towards political allies. For example, a famous feminist can openly state “Kill All Men”, a meme “Kill all Whites” is not a problem, or “Straight White Males are killing the Earth” is beautiful and brave, whereas someone stating that “Men cannot become women” or that “the world is ruled by a reptilian cabal. They should be hanged and burned away from the food chain.” Is harassment.
