Twitter censors user for a rant against the Governor of Wisconsin over the Jacob Blake riots: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of his censorship notice. He had tweeted: "Fuck the Governor, letting looters, arsonists and other assorted trash take over your state is fundamentally wrong. Self defense is a fundamental right. Remember the felon who got shot in the arm? Haven't heard a word about that illegal weapon. Retarded jerk." This was regarding the riots that led to the Kyle Rittenhouse case. The user received a notice from Twitter, according to a screenshot he shared, that indicated that Twitter had "put a warning on this Tweet because it might have sensitive content." There was also a link to appeal this decision, which the user did. It is unclear what the outcome was. Additionally, Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the tweet in which the user was sharing screenshots of the censorship notice as well.
