RubyMediaGroup
Case #
5610

Twitter censors an article on RubyMediaGroup’s feature in Nasdaq: RubyMediaGroup tweeted, “Ruby Media Group CEO @sparklingruby was recently Featured in @nasdaqcenter as The Face of Entrepreneurship. Read the full story here: https://t.co/d2SrykJ6Ox.” Accompanying the text was a picture of Kris Ruby and a quote. However, Twitter obscured the image with a sensitive content filter. Twitter includes “graphic content” such as “violent crimes or accidents,” “adult nudity and sexual behavior,” “gratuitous gore” under its definition of sensitive content. Nothing in linked article, the photo, or the quote seems to fall under this definition. It is unclear why Twitter applied the warning label. Twitter also appears to have placed an account-level sensitive flag on RubyMediaGroup, obscuring numerous tweets on RubyMediaGroup’s feed. Users on the desktop version of Twitter must click through a filter to view these posts, if they do not wish to change their settings to show sensitive content by default. Users on the mobile version of Twitter are simply unable to view the tweet without changing the setting.
