This, among many reasons, is why I don’t have Twatter.

why does anybody twitter?



It's the stall wall of the Internet. Truly the worst tech invention of all time.

Someone please explain the end game here! When they censor facts because it’s so important for everyone to get the jab, something just ain’t right

Twitter is the garbage dumpster of the internet.

Nobody needs to be on facebook and there are a bunch of alternatives to youtube now. But, unfortunately, twitter is a fantastic medium for exchange of info. Sites like Gab are just not there yet. So, as long as these guys play big brother with what is allowable content, it's a problem.

Twitter, like everything that is controlled by leftists, is a tool of the world's elite that they use to control you.

Isn't that true, though? Anyone can spread Covid, as far as I'm aware.




I am vaccinated. Someone who was vaccinated gave me covid. I ended up giving another vaccinated person covid.

Twitter needs to be shut down.

Twitter is a plague. With that said, I interpret that quote as responsive to the conspiracy theory that people who have been vaccinated can spread something from the vaccine, not that a vaccinated person couldn't still get and spread the virus. But I could be giving them too much credit.

that may be the actual policy, but the odds of them enforcing said policy fairly and as specifically as it’s worded? almost 0.

just more bullshite internet bylaws so they can deplatform those who’s opinion they disagree with.

The revision changed an instance of the word “virus” to “vaccine.” As a result, the latest edition of the terms assert, the company will target users who spread claims that patients “who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the vaccine … to unvaccinated people.”


Looks like they updated policy and were trying to say vaccinated spreading virus from vaccine by itself, but i am not sure new wording makes that any more clear than original wording.

So. If vaccinated people can't spread covid according to them. Why do they enforce a mask mandate on vaccinated people.

What's the penalty? A time out from Twitter?

I mean, I think it does, but I was admittedly predisposed to that direction to begin with
