Elijah Schaffer
Case #
2918

Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over one of Elijah Schaffer's tweets showing pictures of one of the people Kyle Rittenhouse purportedly shot in self-defense: 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree murder after he killed two men and injured another purportedly in self-defense during one of the 2020 Antifa riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Blaze TV host Elijah Schaffer tweeted: "Ahead of the Rittenhouse trial starting tomorrow [p]eople are being suspended on Twitter for sharing pictures showing Kyle acted in self-defense[.] Instagram and Facebook have also made sharing pictures of Rittenhouse a violation of TOS [terms of service]." Schaffer included a photo of the man Rittenhouse injured along with photos suggesting the shooting was enacted in self-defense. Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the photos. Such filters do not allow users on the mobile app who have the sensitive filter enabled on their profile, the default setting, to view the filtered content at all. On the web version of Twitter, the users must click through the sensitive content interstitial in order to view the filtered content. Not only do such filters give the impression of inappropriate content, but similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
