If Twitter’s become known for one thing, it’s consistency.
At least when it comes to being a dumpster fire:
Twitter Public Policy ~ Ahead of the Ugandan election, we're hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps.
We strongly condemn internet shutdowns – they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.
Are internet shutdowns wrong? Should we not being doing that?
Twitter Public Policy ~ Earlier this week, in close coordination with our peers, we suspended a number of accounts targeting the election in Uganda.
If we can attribute any of this activity to state-backed actors, we will disclose to our archive of information operations.
{Cont.} Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections.

The worst part is that they’re actually convinced that they’re serious right now.
Stephen L. Miller ~ You don't say ...
AnonAmish ~
Jessica O’Donnell ~ Are there no mirrors at twitter?!
Jarvis ~ Wait. But. You JUST ... like, a few days ago.
Lord BT ~ Did they publish articles about Hunter Biden?
Katie Pavlich ~ Oh, internet shutdowns “are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet.”
How interesting.
The Dank Knight ~ The irony of this is astounding.
Twitter condemning a country for silencing people on social media is honestly the funniest thing I’ve seen in months.
Sometimes, you’ve just gotta look for laughs wherever you can find them.
Lyndsey Fifield ~ This is gaslighting at its finest.
Twitter’s gotten quite good at that.
