People are upset at Twitter again: this time, the company reportedly banned a bot that was fighting “Nazi trolls.” The bot, which reporter Yair Rozenberg decided to build after being harassed, unmasked “impersonator accounts” until it was eventually shut down by Twitter.
The Nazis realized they couldn’t beat the bot, so they started mass-reporting it to Twitter for “harassment.” Just as they duplicitously cast themselves as minorities, they disingenuously recast our response to their ongoing abuse as harassment. Twitter sided with the Nazis.
