Twitter's New Censorship Czar Announces Her Agenda
 [RedState] Twitter just got a new leader for their Ministry of Propaganda, and she recently gave the world a glimpse into her agenda. Spoiler alert, it ain’t good, folks. Protocol, a tech news site, recently published a profile of Christine Su, the company’s senior product manager for conversation safety at Twitter. In the piece titled, "How a Young, Queer Asian-American Businesswoman is Rethinking User Safety at Twitter," Su discussed her plans for Twitter’s policies regarding the policing of speech on the platform. According to Protocol, Su, who was hired six months ago, is responsible for "keeping everyday users safe online and rethinking the fundamentals of the platform along the way." To accomplish this, the Twitter employee indicated that the company’s censorship policy will focus on "transformative and procedural justice.’ According to the article, Su, who previously owned a tech company named PastureMap, wished to be involved in "mission-driven" work in the tech industry for years. "As a queer woman of color who is an Asian American in tech in rural America, that experience is a very intersectional one. I’ve had plenty of experiences moving through spaces where I wanted more safety," she told the news outlet. According to Protocol, "transformative and procedural justice" are ideas designed to deal with problems related to various types of bigotry. The author wrote: "The once radical concepts challenge the notion that we should just punish people who cause harm, instead offering an alternative: a pathway to repair the harm that has been done and to prevent its recurrence (transformative justice), and a set of fair rules that make harm rarer in the first place (procedural justice)."
