Ginaro Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 No longer following Jum after his recent shite, but I did find it funny that shortly after tweeting his Courier column saying "The problem here to use an old adage is that ‘a lie is halfway around the world before truth has its boots on’," - Jim quote tweets an image of election results with Lorna Slater in last place, except of course he doesn't mention those are her 2017 UK election results and not 2021 where she was elected... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I won't name the tweeter, but on the Nicola Sturgeon thread @Richey Edwards pointed to one guy openly fantasising about the rape and murder of Nicola Sturgeon. Richey, being a good guy, reported the tweet as did @DeeTillEhDeh and @Leith Green Apparently though the tweet was fine. Twitter, under Musk, have no problem with this kind of thing. No safety rules broken, no problemo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a violent person by any stretch but if someone spoke about anyone like that in my presence, I'd want to boot their teeth out.

From what Richey said it looked like the guy’s account was locked and wouldn’t be unlocked until he removed it, which he now has. I know it’s nitpicky, but that means Twitter have looked at it (whether by human or automated process) and decided it’s not serious enough for a ban. It’s only lack of alternative that’s keeping me anywhere near it just now, and I’m watching Christopher Bouzy’s Spoutible thing with some interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting such a hateful, offensive, vile, disgusting thing should see the poster permanently banned and receiving a wee visit from the police. Locking the account until the poster removes the post is an absolute joke. I am absolutely disgusted by that. Fucking wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported the tweet too, twitter initially saying it didnt breach its community guidelines, appealed the decision and it was upheld. Unfortunately twitters community guidelines largely align with US free speech laws where although that tweet is a crime in the UK twitter will generally edge on the side of the tweeter than the offended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Regarding that tweet I don’t really understand how it couldn’t breach guidelines. Unless they don’t count it as a direct threat, which would be pretty obtuse. I think if I was a public figure or even well known I wouldn’t use Twitter personally. There is clearly a deranged subset of people in society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helena Kennedy was saying today it's becoming more common to say you'd like to see someone raped and murdered rather than threatening to do it yourself, presumably because they think it will give them some protection against prosecution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
