Twitter CEO promises to crack down on hate, violence and harassment with "more aggressive" rules

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey took to...Twitter today to promise a "more aggressive" stance in its rules and how it enforces them. The tweet storm was based in a response to the #WomenBoycottTwitter protest, as well as work that Dorsey says Twitter has been working 'intensely' on over the past few months. Dorsey says that critical decisions were made today in how to go about preventing the rampant and vicious harassment many women, minorities and other users undergo daily on the platform.

"We decided to take a more aggressive stance in our rules and how we enforce them," Dorsey says. "New rules around: unwanted sexual advances, non-consensual nudity, hate symbols, violent groups, and tweets that glorifies violence. These changes will start rolling out in the next few weeks. More to share next week."

Sounds like the Twitter CEO needs to be banned. He is a real hater.

Sure. Muzzies will be allowed to share their hate but normal people will be blocked for complaining.

I really dislike controlling people who feel the need to censor everything they disagree with.

Ah....white conservatives can’t say anything.

But if a black leftist says, kill cops, they will not see their tweet banned.

So what exactly is a hate symbol? A Confederate flag? A Star of David? How about the ISIS Flag? Or the Antifa flag? Or the rainbow flag? The US Flag?

Bet you they’ll first ban the Confederate flag and then Pepe the Frog, followed by MAGA hats as hate symbols.

Crickets on the Antifa flag...

Translation: Twitter will be imposing draconian rules to advance political correctness and progressive lunacy. Normal people need to find another social medium to waste their time on.
