Moderation is hard, yo. If it’s not shitty algorithms swallowing content that isn’t meant to be moderated, it is shitty people custom crafting things that skirt the moderation.

Reminds me of the ‘adult content’ filters that remove legitimate information about birth control and such topics. Is this a feature or a bug?
Also: the problem is not Twitter’s moderation. The problem is Twitter.

It all makes sense when you remember that Jack is a fucking Nazi.

Why does this feel like an intentional and disdainful “that’s what you wanted, right?!? you greedy SJW pains-in-my-profit-margin”

It’s certainly the line right-wingers take in these topics, every time. Someone else can post the xkcd and Popper’s Paradox cartoons this time.

Moderation’s biggest problem is that it doesn’t scale well. Once your community includes everybody, then it’s impossible to exclude some viewpoint without alienating some members of the community.
Sure, let the pedo-nazis cry salty tears you say. But innocents always get caught in the crossfire. Moderation is war. War is hell.

Headline is probably missing a preposition and needs one replacing. Took me a while trying to parse it before it made sense.
“Twitter’s anti-Nazi policies result in bans of pictures of anti-Nazi books”?
Automated content moderation just doesn’t work. Moderating is one of the jobs bosses can’t buy robots to replace people with yet. Now if you just want a censor robots are extremely good at that.
