Idk with every new hack the impact of such a hack is getting less and less isn't it? Two years ago Id've frantically checked if my account would be among those. Now, seeing what you just posted and caring about my Twitter account, I just shrug. Hacked? Ok, that's life I suppose. *changes pw and flames on*

According to former employees, the external pressures — stagnant growth, media scrutiny, and constant personnel shifts — even created fissures in Twitter’s once rock-solid free speech defense. Shortly after news broke that Zelda Williams was leaving Twitter, Costolo was getting DMs and texts from Hollywood agents at firms like CAA, threatening to pull their high-profile celebrity clients off Twitter if Costolo didn’t stop harassment. Costolo scrambled, ordering teams to delete offending accounts and tweets. Weeks later, when a rash of beheading videos appeared, Costolo gave similar takedown orders, causing Twitter’s free speech advocates, Gabriel Stricker and Vijaya Gadde, to call an emergency policy meeting.
Inside the meeting, attended by Costolo, Stricker, Gadde, and product head Kevin Weil (now Instagram’s product lead) and first reported by BuzzFeed News, tensions rose as Costolo’s desire to build a more palatable network that was marketable and ultimately attractive to new users clashed with Stricker and Gadde’s desire for radically free expression.
“You really think we should have videos of people being murdered?” someone who attended the meeting recalls Costolo arguing, while Stricker reportedly compared Costolo’s takedown of undesirable content to deleting the Zapruder film after objections from the Kennedy family. Ultimately, the meeting ended with the group deciding to carve out policy exceptions to keep up grisly content for newsworthiness, according to one person present. Though Stricker and Gadde won, one source described a frustrated Costolo leaving in disagreement. “I think if you guys have your way the only people using Twitter will be ISIS and the ACLU,” Costolo said, according to this person.

imo you have a shaky concept of "free speech" if it's some absolutism that allows people to stifle others through noise, threats, and actionable harassment
― mh, Thursday, 11 August 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link
your ability to speak freely is somewhat hampered by unrestricted death threats
that's just my take on it, though
― mh, Thursday, 11 August 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link
I think the Silicon Valley idea of free speech is an interesting one because they go from advocating the value of free speech (yes, sure, that's good) to then insisting that all such speech must in principle be be allowed expression on their particular platform. they cannot abide the idea that certain constraints on speech often make such platforms better and more inviting to users because to create such constraints then guarantees that there might be other places that people go to express themselves. it's against their business model to put in place limits on speech, and not really any kind of ethical attachment to the principle. they can't really square the circle of "here everyone can express themselves freely" with the reality that this idea will inevitably silence others in that space.

it's like irc, if you are a channel operator you have an @ in front of your name and can do and say whatever you want
on twitter everyone has an @ so they can do or say whatever

This is one of those cases where I wonder why some people get on Twitter in the first place. I don't know what kind of harassment went on here and I definitely don't care about Steven Universe gem shipping but when you join Twitter and don't protect your tweets, to a degree, you are signing up to be a public figure. I don't understand how people don't get this in 2016.
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 13 August 2016 17:26 (seven years ago) link
the SV idea of free speech isn't interesting, it's stupid. It's an ignorant, ahistorical version of free expression that isn't even internally consistent.
