@maikm @geminiimatt I'm sure there are dozens of governments and companies who pay for Twitter's Enterprise API and have their own copy of everything we're ever tweeting. But deleting old tweets keeps them out of the hands of everyone else, like trolls and stalkers https://t.co/tPFQ9oScSQ — PolitiTweet.org

It's a command line tool, not a service, that connects directly to the Twitter API. So you need to create your own API credentials and don't have to give a third party access to your account. The code is on github and it's licensed under MIT https://t.co/QWjECoIIZN — PolitiTweet.org

I just programmed an open source tool called semiphemeral that lets you automatically delete your old tweets, except for the ones you want to keep https://t.co/O45v8BTwG5 — PolitiTweet.org

@BaghdadBrian @InterceptUnion Using existing curriculum is good, but times change and it often quickly goes out of date, or doesn't include something we need. And we might also need training that's specific to how we do things internally — PolitiTweet.org

@aschweig @TheKateMyers @theintercept Yeah it's annoying, and remote workers are great. I'm remote. This role probably doesn't require actually going into the office every day, but unfortunately being based in NYC is a requirement. — PolitiTweet.org

@Charles4Freedom Yeah, that's true when you're talking about the government restricting speech. But none of this applies to Twitter, or any private company, or any platform run by anyone that isn't the government — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@Charles4Freedom Also, "can lead to immediate harm" is subjective. Only a small fraction of jihadists actually commit terrorist attacks. So the rest, who recruit and grow their terrorist movement, are not doing anything that "can lead to immediate harm" and shouldn't be banned? — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@Charles4Freedom Except that Twitter moderating content isn't restricting speech. Organized neo-Nazis run their own websites, there are other social networks that welcome white supremacist terrorists, and they can even hold a parade in a Jewish community if they want — PolitiTweet.org

@Charles4Freedom The list of twitter accounts of white supremacists and hate groups at the bottom of that article I linked to, those accounts make terrorist threats and are used for terrorist recruitment — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@Charles4Freedom I agree it's a complicated issue. But free speech doesn't mean that private companies should be forced, by government regulation, to make their services worse for that vast majority of their users. Do you also oppose Twitter banning ISIS and other terrorist recruitment accounts? — PolitiTweet.org

@SmelOdiesOG @TulsiGabbard The espionage act doesn't allow defendants to give any testimony about their motivation, why what they leaked shouldn't be classified to begin with, or anything else.
