32. Shit. Well, you know they're in the heat of the last few election days.

Nov 2020

Much of what gets tweeted that's political can, and when usable, is transferred by certain human accounts to bots for spreading. Maybe Twitter's trying to mitigate what raises the heat in their environment.

I'm not defending censorship, just saying that a private platform has more to gain right now by keeping the heat down than opening wide for freedom of political expression. Platform moderation, if run by humans or AI, can reveal judgment problems in a country this big.

Just sayin'. You've got my sympathies.
