Twitter wildly oscillates between the disgraceful underpolicing of their platform and the disgraceful overpolicing of their platform. While some folks were given years-long leashes to peddle violent and degrading rhetoric in violation of community guidelines, others get sent to Twitter jail for complete nonsense. It’s the fundamental problem with moderation at scale and Twitter can’t be blamed for making the occasional mistake along the way, but when they keep doubling down on their errors it’s a doggone shame.
If you bristled at that sly word choice, then you probably don’t want to read Clare Locke’s new letter to Twitter. Or more accurately, Gipper Locke’s letter to Twitter, because the Fox Red Labrador Retriever took on this letter himself. He is a Juris Dog-tor after all.
