I’m back from two weeks in semi-self-imposed Twitter gulag after having refused the tech monopoly’s
Darkness at Noon-style demand that I personally delete two of my tweets for being “hateful.” The requirement that I admit my guilt was reminiscent of how Stalin insisted that Bukharin and his other rivals confess to their imaginary crimes.
On Jan. 25, 2021, I got an email from Twitter saying:
Hi Steve Sailer,
Specifically for:
Violating our rules against hateful conduct.
You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.
