Today is the big day where Twitter users who criticize Jews, faggotry, immigration, Israel and expose the six million gas chamber hoax are supposed to get the boot.

I checked in this morning and Ognir is still there, and all the regulars I follow appear to still be there.

Twitter Purge: Monitoring user behavior off platform starting Dec. 18

QuoteTwitter has a list. They're checking it twice.

Well, no, actually, it's much more complex than that. For the past two years, Twitter has been working with its Trust & Safety Council — a body of experts in online safety — to balance running a platform for free speech with curbing violence and harassment.

On Monday, Twitter put into effect new rules that are, in part, a result of many of those conversations. The rules are a major shift in the company's policies, which for years erred on the side of letting users post all sorts of vile content. Now, Twitter will take into account user behavior "on and off the platform" as it relates to affiliation with violent organizations.


In other words, context now matters on Twitter.

"This includes celebrating any violent act in a manner that may inspire others to replicate it or any violence where people were targeted because of their membership in a protected group. We will require offending Tweets to be removed and repeated violations will result in permanent suspension," a blog post on the new policies reads.

While Twitter's community standards previously banned violent extremism, monitoring "off platform" behavior and choosing to permanently ban users is a big departure from its old rules. The new rule helps close a loophole where someone affiliated with a hate group could still use Twitter by sharing a sanitized version of their message.

Twitter's embrace of free speech started early. CEO Jack Dorsey and Twitter's team of cofounders started Twitter in 2006 as place to broadcast thoughts publicly, no matter what they were. That openness famously led to Twitter serving as a platform for communication and activism during the Arab Spring.

It also opened the floodgates for racism and hate speech. ISIS most notably used Twitter as a place to spread propaganda. Dorsey has argued, in his defense of President Donald Trump's use of the platform, that it's better to have conversations in the open rather behind closed doors. But with these new rules, that's not the case for everyone anymore.

The new rules don't come out of nowhere.  Recently, Twitter has grown more comfortable with permanently banning some high-profile accounts, such as Tim "Treadstone" Gionet, more widely known as Baked Alaska, conservative pundit Milo Yiannopoulos, and "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli. Meanwhile, Twitter verified Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally organizer Jason Kessler, and then pulled the checkmark and its verification program after backlash.

Going forward with these new rules, Twitter admitted in Monday's blog post that the company will make mistakes.

"In our efforts to be more aggressive here, we may make some mistakes and are working on a robust appeals process. We'll evaluate and iterate on these changes in the coming days and weeks, and will keep you posted on progress along the way," the post reads.

The change is a "slippery slope," said Susan Benesch, a member of Twitter's Trust & Safety Council. She serves as executive director of the Dangerous Speech Project and is a faculty associate at Harvard University's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society.

"It's not surprising, of course. If you're going to ban any kind of opinion, this is a logical place to start. Twitter staff may find themselves struggling to distinguish among guerrillas, terrorists, revolutionaries, and dissidents," she continued.

Critics of Twitter have argued the site no longer embraces free speech and is censoring its users with these new policies. Andrew Torba, former ad tech founder and now head of "free speech" social network Gab, has been calling for those critics to come over to his site.

Ahead of Monday's new rules, some people who believed they were at risk tweeted their accounts on Gab.

Do you see what's going on, Maz? The kikes are purging Twitter, and probably Fool-book and other such platforms, and herding everybody to this gab.ai.

Let's connect a few dots, so we can see the picture:

Here's a post from Og on December 13, 2016, telling everybody about this new thing called gab.ai  http://theinfounderground.com/smf/index.php?topic=22817.msg85592#msg85592

Here's my post from October 9, 2017, warning that gab.ai is a zionist trap  http://theinfounderground.com/smf/index.php?topic=23572.msg87422#msg87422

Here's your post from November 13, 2017, reporting that gab.ai is a zionist trap  http://theinfounderground.com/smf/index.php?topic=18549.msg87547#msg87547

So, all the "anti-semites" will flock to gab.ai, where they will be identified, counted, monitored, tracked, tricked, fooled, misled, etc. etc. etc. by kike agents of all kinds and descriptions.

But, everything will be all right, because it is "alt-right."   :lmao:

Funny mentioning gabi and foolbook, both sites are sending me nonstop links to prostitutes or similar for the past week

Most zionists don't believe that God exists, but they do believe he promised them Palestine

Here's Rense and Brother Nathanael hyping-to-the-heavens about this Gab being a haven for free speech and truth-telling about the jews.  And, of course, we know that it is 200% run and controlled by jews.  Ain't that clever?    :lmao:
