What's With Twitter Censorship?

in censorship •  6 years ago  (edited)


I've posted a ton on my social about what Twitter is doing with censorship lately, but text and images are not enough! The issue with censorship is I have to come on to Steem to talk about Twitter and then the people on Twitter don't know what's up :S

You should not be running a quality filter if you want to see what people are actually saying! This is SUPER interesting and relevant! If you are flagged on this, you are in an echo chamber and no one on Twitter outside your followers will see it. Check for yourself here https://shadowban.eu/

Crypto will start a transparency revolution

100%!

Those who fight to save the planet, are hated, it is like there is a willful push to end all life on earth.

It is interesting indeed. It's because it leads to the behavior of "I'm the good guy and I have to as the good guy defeat the bad guy who I declare is YOU"

Understanding truth at the loss of self

Yeah, 100%. Good philosophical take on it. The closer you get to the truth the less of a you there will be

I think the YT filter is worse because it's more cryptic and there's no quality filter for displaying all of the comments-- someone please prove me wrong. Some messages get blocked like calling random celebs ugly where as direct verbal attacks and death threats get through. You can curse sometimes, other word combos get removed. I did a video on an old arcade game called "Black Widow" that got flagged. One of my latest videos, an innocent musical mix of Stardew Valley, totally PG, got flagged for being sexually inappropriate. Looking forward to Dtube becoming smoother so I can start archiving on the chain.

Yeah for sure, I mean it's not really about what's worse... It's more like someone may create an account and not realize by default it's enabled or not realize they are shadowbanned, but in this instance they can atleast check. I mention in the video that we already knew Facebook and Google were down for, but I had hopes for Twitter. Unsurprisingly they've followed suit.

I knew Twitter was a failure the first week I used it. Took out some ads for some gaming and music posts and all I got were pervert follows with dickpics. I still use YT reluctantly because it has the smoothest playback, but I really want to move on to Dtube. This week has been particularly tough with all the indie journalists getting shut down left and right. They're coming out full force before middies.

Yeah you said it. Sooner or later all the alt news will be off youtube

twitter is a funny business

indeed you are right lol, I had some hope left they would be better than the rest

why is it we not ever satisfied with any social platform. thought facebook had it all, then twitter, then snapchat then Instagram, etc. not one platform till date is perfect and down to business. my view. its chaos just like our world

yeah it's a mad mad world

Great Video

Great video man! Is it wrong of me to root for the establishment social media to keep digging itself a deeper grave? The amount of people about to be searching for alternate social media is about to pop!

Haha that is very true, the hard and scary part is that you don't expect the people on Twitter to actually hear the bad stuff about Twitter on Twitter and they don't usually go looking for it, so all we can do is try to share awareness as much as possible

Twitter is not as bad as facebook

That's fair, for sure

its a shame that now that we have all these platforms to elevate the penetration of our free speech, our free speech has more constraints on it than ever.

Yeah, they connected us, then built a cage around us

Yeah, the censorship is ridiculous. I think everyone should be able to voice their opinions, no matter how stupid or controversial they may be.
Also, I didn't get a chance to say this since I was locked out of my account for a while, but congrats on getting the witness thing.

Yeah exactly and thanks, it's a huge financial burden on me right now though :(
