Interesting article. However, what the author fails to realize is that Twitter shouldn&#x27;t be banning users in the first place-- that&#x27;s not their job. Their job is to provide a service that people can use to communicate; policing content on the site should not be a technology company&#x27;s job. If you dislike what someone says, simply unfollow them, and they will disappear from your sight. It&#x27;s as simple as that-- out of the billions of people in the world, there are definitely going to be millions of people that hate you simply because of your race, beliefs, or country. Simply do not follow these people if you don&#x27;t want to see &quot;abuse&quot;.<p>Just because people are offended by what conservatives may say does not mean that freedom of speech should be limited. &quot;I disagree with what you say, but I&#x27;ll defend to the death your right to say it&quot; and all that. We, as programmers and computer scientists (and some web developers) need to stop deciding or worrying about what people are and aren&#x27;t allowed to say-- and that goes for Twitter, too.
