1. I have read @DevinNunes lawsuit that he has been defamed by a couple of twitter users and "shadow banned'' by @Twitter. What a baby. First, Twitter: When he first made that complaint - on twitter - about the shadow-banning conspiracy theory, i had dozens of my followers...
@DevinNunes @Twitter 2...check if they were blocked in any way from finding him. He was not. I authorize you to search my feed and you can find the responses from many, many people to Nunes's belief. Next, yah, a couple of people online said some mean things about Nunes - some pure opinion, some...
@DevinNunes @Twitter 3...pretty offensive. But dude, if public figures sued every time someone online said something that was false and defamatory, we would all be in court constantly. Grow up, @DevinNunes. Oh, and by the way - this is my opinion. And I believe a first amendment still exists.

1. It seems there is a near-universal interest in my explaining why I left the church, despite decades of Bible study/ attending classes at seminary. It will take me a while to write up. In the meantime, a short bit on how conservative evangelicals have perverted the Bible..
2...this is going to be one example. Start with the fundamental (non-Biblical) belief: That God wrote the Bible or guided the hands of those who wrote the Bible. The Bible - the sole potential source for this - says no such thing. That's because it was proclaimed gospel 600 yrs..
3...after Jesus. (Or time between the Pilgrims and now.) BUT, assuming this belief is a real "belief" - then the words of the Bible are the words of God, right? Unfortunately, the "religious" keep changing those words - without disclosing it - to fit their beliefs...

1. I have neglected recommending books of late. But I recently finished @dwallacewells tour de force, The Uninhabitable Earth, a sober, balanced and terrifying depiction of the damage climate change is already causing, and how bad it could get...

@dwallacewells 2...Wallace-Wells is extremely informative - his endnotes are almost unbelievable - but also dismisses falsehoods, making his descriptions of reality all the more terrifying. He largely avoids the politics, focusing instead on the science. However, he does note how the GOP has...
@dwallacewells 3...has gone from saying "there is no climate change" to "the climate is always changing." Both arguments are still made, and Wallace-Wells makes a point I never considered: For those who say the climate is always changing, what difference does their argument make? More....

In February 2017, the Charlottesville City Council voted to remove the statue of Robert E. Lee from a local park named for him & in June they voted to rename it “Emancipation Park.” nytimes.com/2017/08/13/us/…
On May 13, 2017, #WhiteSupremacist Richard Spencer led a rally to protest the removal of the statue. His protesters held torches near the statue (as seen in photo used later for August #UTR) nytimes.com/2017/08/13/us/…

Twitter stock plunges 20 percent following a purge of fake and suspicious accounts chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…
That's going to happen when you delete actual users & sites list accounts as 'shadow banned' regardless if they are or not. You're driving away a large segment of your biz.
Most of the sites I've checked accounts for 'shadow ban' have only shown accounts with a right leaning slant as being 'shadow banned' but some of the worst left leaning accounts do not. Twitter has to fix this or continue to lose large numbers of users.
If these sites listing accounts as 'shadow banned' are incorrect, Twitter has to figure out a way to counter that. Doesn't matter if the sites are correct or not, perception is reality. I've seen some left leaning Twitter accounts claim to be shadow banned, but not on sites.

1- Birçok fenomen, sanatçı ve dostlarımızın #Twitter profilini şikayet ederek kapatılmasını sağlayan kişileri uzun zamandır araştırıyorduk. Bugün bu kişilerin kim olduklarını bulduk.
2- Kim olduklarını söylemeden önce biraz nasıl çalıştıklarından, ne yaptıklarından ve niçin yaptıklarından bahsedelim. Gördüğümüz sistem çok farklı. Birçok spam timi gördük ama bunlar çok farklı.
3- Bu ekipte bir hiyerarşi yapısı var. Biliyorsunuz hiyerarşi, alt-üst ilişkisi demektir. Kendilerine ''Grup Komutanı'' veya ''Grup Komutan Yardımcısı'' gibi rütbeler(!) vermişler. Hatta alt gruplar arasında kavga çıkarsa bu grupları barıştırmak için de ayrı bir grup kurmuşlar.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.

Twitter's new rules for hateful or violent content do not apply to official government or military accounts. This is a potentially dangerous loophole that has the ability to be abused by corrupt governments around the world - e.g. a government condoning violence against a group.
Imagine if Hitler had a Twitter account. Imagine if Mao had a Twitter account. Imagine if Stalin had a Twitter account. All of these accounts would not have been banned by Twitter because they would have been run by government entities.
In summary, a couple things: Twitter still does not understand what it actually is or how it influences people. An early employee friend of mine once told me Twitter was like a clown car that ran into a pile of money. I'm starting to finally understand that metaphor.
