> Twitter has no right to be 'Ministry of Information'.

Twitter did not prevent them from stating anything. Twitter employees simply decided they want to have no part in this. Are you saying they should be forced to publish this tweet?

The logic here escapes me.




They did not publish the tweet. They provided the tools for the tweet to be published. There is a distinction, as they had no hand in the act of creating the tweet itself.


> There is a distinction

It is a distinction with no real meaning to me, in this case.

If I was an employee at Twitter working to expand the reach of my platform, and the platform was being used to brag about genocide, then I would feel partly responsible for normalizing that behavior.


Then I encourage you to continue to develop distinctions and nuance, because this cuts many ways.


Thank you, I will.
