For a company enforcing their TOS in a nonpartisan way, this would be considered a massive success. The only reason it's a problem is because the leftists infecting Big Tech just want to weaponize it against their political enemies.

Have any of the blue checks been suspended? I'd be very surprised if they were. It's very likely they exempted them from this policy precisely to prevent this situation, but they failed to shield everyone with the Right Opinions.

As I recall, they even gave themselves the option with their talk of disproportionate effect, so it's a little surprising they simply didn't brush off the complaints against "their team"

I said it an hour ago, and here we are. Twitter's rules are being used against their core. They are trying to stop it, but for now, they are finding out the joys of being authoritarian cunts.

Enough with the idea of their rules only applying to us, and them always advocating for the rules and never following them. Make them follow their beliefs, their ideas and their rules.

That's what I have been using here on a few people, on twitter and elsewhere.

noooooo that's our gun you can't use it on us!

"We've corrected those errors and are undergoing an internal review to make certain that this policy is used as intended — to curb the misuse of media to harass or intimidate private individuals," Twitter said.

what error? this is literally what is being described here.

days after journalists, left-wing activists and self-described "sedition hunters" reported their accounts had been locked for sharing publicly available images of anti-maskers, anti-vaccine protesters and suspected Capitol insurrectionists.

Honestly, if twitter is actually applying these evenly I'm good with it.

I'd be happy for the shitshow to be over.

How does this site work? Is it a copy of kia2 on reddit? Like all the posts are mirrored here with different comments? Or are users just sharing in both places?

Users sharing at both. Reddit heavily censors so alot of people fucked-off here for blackjack and hookers ( freedom of speech ).

As in, is this kia2 part of a post-sharing platform with multiple subforums?

Yes : https://communities.win/

Twitter is shit the only celebrities who followed me back were rapper Danny Brown and comedian Corey Holcomb. I still closed my account. Corey would bully trannies, and Danny gave me a ticket to his show for drugs. They allow bullshit like pedophiles and punish you if you do not participate in the degeneracy. You are only allowed to make fun of woke bullshit if you have a race card.

Twitter: "These are our new rules, you conservatives can't post videos of us fucking around at 'peaceful protests' or the like and call us out on our bullshit!"

Conservatives: "Okay, fine, then by the same rules you can't post videos of us calling out the stupidity of getting vaxxed for a disease with a >90% survival rate, or being forced to wear masks to prevent the spread of something that can get right through them, and then be all derisive about it."

Twitter: Surprised Pikachu Face

In all seriousness, it's about what I expected - they tried to make rules for thee and not for me, and it bit them in the ass. Now they'll double-down and revise the rules to try and make it more effective for them and less so for the non-woke.

"errors in enforcement".

How dare you use our weapons against us.

Then stop pretending your weapons are shields!

According to the approved dictionary Merriam-Webster, the definition of a journalist is:

  1. a. A person engaged in journalism

b. A writer who aims at a mass audience

  1. a person who keeps a journal

Just for the sake of rigor, the definition of journalism is:

  1. a. the collection and editing of news for presentation through the media

b. the public press

c. an academic study concerned with the collection and editing of news or the management of a news medium

  1. a. writing designed for publication in a newspaper or magazine

b. writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation

c. writing designed to appeal to current popular taste or public interest

By these definitions, every single person posting on the publicly accessible internet is a journalist.
