Twitter acknowledged on Friday that a new policy it unveiled this week to protect users from harassment is being abused by malicious actors — days after journalists, left-wing activists and self-described "sedition hunters" reported their accounts had been locked for sharing publicly available images of anti-maskers, anti-vaccine protesters and suspected Capitol insurrectionists.
The acknowledgment highlights how Twitter has been caught flat-footed by what it described in a statement as "a significant amount of coordinated and malicious" activity that led to "several errors" in Twitter's enforcement. "We've corrected those errors and are undergoing an internal review to make certain that this policy is used as intended — to curb the misuse of media to harass or intimidate private individuals," Twitter said. --break-- As of Friday morning, several accounts on Twitter that track open-source images of right-wing extremists and participants in the Capitol riot had been hit by suspensions under the private media policy, potentially jeopardizing what has become a vital source of information for law enforcement and federal prosecutors investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

"We only ever intended it to be protect antifa and communists doing good things at protests! Not the evil Rethuglicans abiding by our rules!"
CNN is turning this around 180 degrees. The left has been doing this to humans for years!
Who is the writer of this screed? I never heard of Brian Fungus.
Why are left-wing activists sharing images of anti-vaccine protesters?
At first glance, I’d say he is the Fungus amongus
Conservatives using The Lefts tactics is annoying the Left. Now when will conservatives take over the educational system, local, state and federal government, social media, msm, corporations, the boy scouts, salvation army, etc, etc?

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

They went right after these skells trying to pick the bones of Jan6.
Here is the Privacy Abuse form, which falls under the new privacy edict. If your first attempt via internal Twitter Security is rejected, create a proxy email and report it.
Sand in the vaseline.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Alinksy’s rule for radicals #4: make opponents live up to their own book of rules.
The leftists aren’t liking their own medicine I see.
Isn't that rich?! All those malicious actors that didn't burn down courthouses or car lots, block roads, stuff like that. These people (?) are mentally ill! I can't stop laughing!
Brian Dung can’t stand it when - due to a screw-up - the tables are turned and he gets a taste of his own medicine.
When the left does something it is always “fair” and “democratic.” When the right does something it is always a “crime.”
Social media has become a battlefield and proves the saying that the first casualty in a war is the truth. Finding the truth is harder than when people on the frontier had to rely on pony express riders brought them weeks’ old newspapers. At least they could believe, more or less, what they were reading.
Oh yeah - I’ve been parodying it for awhile when talking with leftist … acquaintances … these days.
“Oh I see what you’re saying… the heroic autobot Democrat party is fighting the evil Decepticons?”
“No - you’re taking my words out of context!”
“You’re saying Republicans are Cobra and the Democrats are GI Joe flag waving patriots?”
“No - that’s silly”
“Well true - Democrats don’t like the flag… or patriotism… but they do act like Cobra…”
Day jus jealous.
is this the same as left wind activists openly weaponizing?
