A calendar of upcoming changes to the Twitter Rules
Hopefully Twitter actually defines a lot of these nebulous and highly-subjective terms going forward.<p>What is the exact definition of a &quot;violent group&quot;?<p>What constitutes &quot;hateful imagery&quot;?<p>Where can I find their database of &quot;hate symbols&quot;?<p>What constitutes a &quot;hateful display name&quot;?<p>What constitutes &quot;condoning and glorifying violence&quot;? (I would argue that many if not most video games at least glorify violence, from my perspective!)<p>In our modern Internet-connected society, the meanings of terms and symbols are subject to rapid and unexpected change. The ADL lists &quot;Pepe the Frog&quot; as a &quot;hate symbol&quot;[0], and while it&#x27;s basically undeniable that many people use the symbol in an intentionally inflammatory or hateful context, I&#x27;m left completely at a loss as to whether or not posting an image of Pepe—or any cartoon frog for that matter—will get me suspended. (I have no reason to do so of course; this is entirely hypothetical.)<p>From the perspective of many people, especially those who use Twitter, certain political figures are considered to be inherently &quot;hateful&quot;, and showing support for them is considered to be an act of hate.<p>There&#x27;s a lot of talk about lines being drawn here but no talk of where exactly they will be drawn.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adl.org&#x2F;education&#x2F;references&#x2F;hate-symbols&#x2F;pepe-the-frog" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.adl.org&#x2F;education&#x2F;references&#x2F;hate-symbols&#x2F;pepe-t...</a>
