Should Twitter's New Anti-Violence Rule Only Apply to Terrorists?
Sam Biddle · 04/22/15 03:15PMAfter months of criticism that Twitter’s lax abuse policies have put women at risk and allowed ISIS to flourish online, the social network just updated (and broadened) its formal abuse policy. Now, merely “promoting” violence—just plain old violence, regardless of context or reason—is enough to get your feed axed. But what if you’re the U.S. Air Force?
