Twitter is seeking to clarify its rules for politicians after coming under pressure from Sen. Harris

Link to tweet

So all the blue checks who ridiculed her for bringing it up last night including the Pod Save bros should eat some humble pie.

Four of those people on stage had pipe bombs mailed to them in 2018. Vice President Biden, Senator Harris, Senator Booker and Mr Steyer. The culprit was a man radicalised by Trump.

This is the result of Trump's twitter.

running untruthful and outright deceptive ads that have little truth in them. Free speech? Not free to purposely lie and pretend its factual. Perhaps what is needed is a 5 or 10 second prelude with EVERY political base ad as this NOT base on facts or truth BUT opinion

Senator Harris is doing the right thing. The MSM and social media types who have mocked her all seemed to think Senator Warren's challenge to Facebook was a great idea (I agree).

It is hypocritical to praise one and mock the other.

One tier is for the powerful. They can abuse twitter users and the general public with impunity and all is good. That's because they bring in more money for Dorsey.

The other tier is for the rest of the users. They can get suspended or banned for the usual set of offending posts.

I've been reluctant to register as a twitter user for other reasons. But Dorsey's ass-kissing for Trumpy and other big wigs leaves me more cold about Twitter than ever.
