Twitter censors user for tweet about a racist article: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of another user's censorship notice. The censored user was responding to an article in which the author implied that the movie "Avatar's NAVI Race are black people because of spears and braids." The author had insisted that all of the blue-skinned aliens should have been portrayed by African-American actors in order to avoid cultural appropriation. The censored user's response tweet said "Yes. But they said ALL Navi should have been black. Cause you know... They're tribal and savages. [shrug emoji]" Twitter claimed this was a violation of its rules against abuse and harassment. The user's account was locked until they deleted the tweet.
