Twitter's New Censorship Czar Announces Her Agenda

2020-11-29

[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)."

#13 That hack job on Twitter from a few months ago to people (even some celebrities) to donate money and Biden or somebody would match it...that was interesting.

#12 Sure would be a shame to see hackers just destroy twitter. Wipe it's servers, wipe the accounts, drain the bank accounts.

I'd laugh like hell and have a snort of Scotch. Oh and for the alphabet letter agencies reading this, I can't and won't do any of that:p

#9 I watched Ted Cruz in Congress interrogating Facebook and Twitter CEOs. The look on the CEO's faces was actual fear. The same look coders in IT have when the get called on the carpet by corporate. They are very smart people that is why they have CPA's running their businesses for them. That same fear is why these geeky CEOs will not and can not control the legions of employees under them that censor the hell out of the end users.

#8 I am an IT person.

1) I have worked with IT people who develope great software.

2) They are a lot of times the most anti-social people you will meet.

3) The foreign ones who come here and code systems live by the norms and customs of their third world home countries.

It is best to compartmentalise these people into the IT department and not let them into the executive suite to run the whole show.

Parler is on mark for having a community of end users like you and I set the procedures. Silicon valley will crash and burn as soon as the Parlers of the world start getting Silly Con's end users.

The only way that will not happen is if politicians regulate the Parlers into missory for Zuke, etc..

#4 "Conversation safety" heh
= policing speech

like the Jacobins' Committee of Public Safety
= terror

or Putin's concept of "energy security"
= insecurity and blackmail

Next up: election safety
= rigged elections

#3 “The product team gave some clues about what that user control could look like when they described the upcoming audio hangout function, Spaces, in a press call last week. Spaces will allow users to determine who is allowed in the audio room and who can speak, and the team is rolling out the function to women and people from other marginalized communities first, to test out how effective these safety functions can be in practice.”

Now you too can create your own echo chamber where you never, ever, ever, have to listen to such radical, racist, homophobic, and transphobic remarks like "2 + 2 = 4"!
