The fact that language dehumanizing others on the basis of religion only now violates Twitter's rules shows how far they have to go to truly combat hate. We urge them to be transparent about the efficacy of these changes. Our full statement below. https://t.co/Hu0dui1HWj pic.twitter.com/cVZbRH7Pqa

Twitter let me ride along while they put together a new policy. It was a trip: https://t.co/mFfnMht8Su

Twitter says it'll ban tweets that say things like "[Religious Group] are viruses. They are making this country sick." Makes sense.

Hope they see the difference between that and "Religion is a virus. It's making this country sick."https://t.co/UvMFjEqm2s https://t.co/ztpEj6MSrJ
"Tweets that break this rule sent before today will need to be deleted, but will not directly result in any account suspensions because they were Tweeted before the rule was set." https://t.co/7fqOFHRkdG

Twitter does add though that while tweets "that break this rule sent before today will need to be deleted," they "will not directly result in any account suspensions because they were Tweeted before the rule was set." https://t.co/MMj4PZdhyf

It took Twitter nearly a year to put together new speech rules — and even then they are just a fraction of the policy that it originally said it intended to create https://t.co/lkIzyBBzxY

Twitter now prohibits hate speech that targets religious groups by using dehumanizing language, a ban it says may extend to other categories like race and gender.https://t.co/8rTDtUnJln

Twitter has released a new policy banning dehumanising language on the basis of religion. They have posted a thoughtful explainer below. While (very) overdue, this is a welcome move. But people will be watching closely to see if they actually enforce it.https://t.co/q6DoHhkWYG

On Tuesday, @Twitter announced policies to curb content that dehumanizes people based on religion.
— Free Press (@freepress) July 9, 2019
We're glad Twitter recognizes the need for change, but we believe a more expansive approach is needed — with clear guidelines for enforcement. (1/2) https://t.co/UtTqP3EzlO
Here are examples of tweets that were somehow allowed on Twitter before today, but are now banned because of a new policy on hateful content directed at religious groups.https://t.co/OH7Lb0uRQ5 pic.twitter.com/ElNPDzfGOm

Is just me or is it mind blowing that tweets like these didn't violate Twitter's terms of service until it was updated today? https://t.co/ilFJIU0aWN pic.twitter.com/gMJnFSIgPK

Do you object to the mass immigration of Muslims, or any other group that erodes the ethno-cultural, constitutional and historical character of your country? Well, shut up, bigot! That's now "hateful conduct." Twitter's latest free speech crackdown: https://t.co/VXCMk0VHoH

As I said before, you can get your message out by using euphemisms and not using the strong words you’d use with friends.

Twitter is updating its rules against hateful conducthttps://t.co/q7rjeAt9xh To their credit they say it will apply to all religious groups equally. There doesn't seem to be a lot of room for comedy & the examples could be better by also showing acceptable criticism and comedy

This sounds good, but considering how biased Twitter is in its enforcement, I suspect you’d get your account terminated if you tweeted out “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” https://t.co/G1rIx1GFB7

Social media companies are controlled by globalist democrats, and they're banning folks who don't conform to their Commie ideology. Twitter is editing content & must be declared a publisher!
