Twitter defends its decision to keep the Alex Jones conspiracy factory around

The offending tweet in question is a link to a story claiming President “Trump must take action against web censorship.”  It looks like the tweet has already been deleted , but not before Twitter judged that it violates  its policy on abuse : Abuse: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice. When you consider the things Infowars and Jones have said or written — 9/11 conspiracies, harassment of Sandy Hook victim families and more — the content in question seems fairly innocuous. Indeed, you could look at President Trump’s tweets and find seemingly more punishable content without much difficulty. But here we are. The weirdest part of this Twitter caning is one of the reference points that the company gave to media. These days, it is common for the company to point reporters to specific tweets that it believes en...

Twitter puts Infowars’ Alex Jones in the ‘read-only’ sin bin for 7 days

Twitter has finally taken action against Infowars creator Alex Jones, but it isn’t what you might think. While Apple, Facebook, Google/YouTube, Spotify and many others  have removed Jones and his conspiracy-peddling organization Infowars from their platforms, Twitter has remained unmoved with its claim that Jones hasn’t violated rules on its platform. That was helped in no small way by the mysterious removal of some tweets  last week, but now Jones has been found to have violated Twitter’s rules,  as CNET first noted . Twitter  is punishing Jones for a tweet that violates its community standards but it isn’t locking him out forever. Instead, a spokesperson for the company confirmed that Jones’ account is in “read-only mode” for up to seven days. That means he will still be able to use the service and look up content via his account, but he’ll be unable to engage with it. That means no tweets, likes, retweets, comments, etc. He’s also been ordered to...

AI TECH IS TAKING OVER PT.2

Do you ever worry that Siri is listening and recording everything you say, taking in data to store for when the day comes that AI robots take over the world? I’m sure it’s something we all worry about on a day-to-day basis. This theory used to be a distant fear, like nuclear war or a zombie apocalypse. However, now artificial intelligence has progressed at such a rate that  Google’s AI machines are sending encrypted messages to each other  that even we don’t understand, it looks like robots really could take over human intelligence in the near future. This idea is made even creepier when you check out some of the cryptic responses Siri gives to certain questions. Is this Siri’s way of slipping in clues before the eventual death and destruction of all human life at the hands of our own creation? I’m going to go with yes and some of these “clues” are downright eerie: QUESTION: WHEN IS THE END OF THE WORLD? Answer: This is by FAR the scariest set of responses Si...
