They may well be working on such a system, Youtube probably is, would make a lot of sense. Not sure how it could work on Twitter though? Maybe if they only placed advertising against verified users tweets? Assessing every tweet for advertiser unfriendly content is probably unworkable.

Shit listing: I am almost certain they have analytics and for really important accounts they have them under the radar (People like Sargon of Akkad and Mercedes Carrera have been notoriously shadow banned before) so they could easily tell advertisers "If there's a lot of these kinds of people on the feed of the viewer your ad is a lot less likely or not at all showing"

 

Though if Twitter was anywhere near competent in advertising regardless of my political bias conjetures, they wouldn't be on this position so maybe you're right and they can't figure out how to do it.

It has more significance than what you're assuming: people probably wouldn't care if they were a huge and evenly enforced ban machine like Facebook is but they've never claimed to be family friendly (you can openly post porn ffs) yet the application of their rules is blatantly one sided: Milo just made himself an example by saying mean things to a movie star when Twitter has been incredibly slow to react to delete or censor Isis accounts, yes that Isis: people who actually embrace, promote and inflict terrorism, beheadings, burning motherfucking people alive. All that it's ok but let's not make a Harambe joke that's totally over the line.

Please calm a bit, breathe. Organize your thoughts and try again because I can tell you have some more or less fair points to bring up that I'd love to address but I can't untangle your word salad.

Why are you quoting me in shit, i wasn't even talking to you in the 1st play. point is Milo is a hypocrite period he's no savior of free speech he argued against it in 2012 & he supports trump who is also against free speech unless it's his free speech.

Free speech principles can be supported even when someone is hypocritical about them or plans to erode them. That's what free speech is: you can say whatever you can even if many find it reprehensible or hypocritical.

 

So even if you think all that of him, he still should be allowed to state his views. This is something people like Universities try to actively avoid by dishonest and flatout illegal means.
