Teddy Daniels
Case #
3107

Twitter censors Congressional candidate's Facebook censorship notice: Teddy Daniels, Republican candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District, made a point about civic action on Facebook. He posted: "The power of evil men lives on the cowardice of the good." While this is not directly addressing anything in particular, Facebook, according to a screenshot that Daniels shared on Twitter, labeled the philosophical statement as "Hate Speech." It was therefore deleted from his timeline. Daniels shared a screenshot of his censorship notice on his Twitter feed. Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over the graphic. 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, similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
