[From an article titled, "Will Twitter Declare War on Religious Conservatives?" on Twitter's new guidelines banning promotion of violence or direct attacks against others on the basis of "race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or disease."]

What if someone perceives my post of disagreement to be a personal attack, some kind of "micro-aggression" against them? Will Twitter find it necessary to discipline me? And what happens when religious affiliation comes into conflict with sexual orientation? Will sexual expression trump religious freedoms?

Lest you think I'm manufacturing concerns out of thin air, it is well-known that Facebook has worked with major gay activist organizations to ensure that the LGBT community feels protected.

[...]

At the same time, Facebook has taken action against religious conservatives, shutting down their Facebook pages for being in violation of community standards - sometimes for simply differing with LGBT activism - while the most anti-God, anti-Christ, blasphemous Facebook pages are deemed to be in harmony with those standards.

[...]

The best thing we can do is commend Twitter for seeking to clean up their corporate act while calling them to account for double standards and hypocrisy should they occur.

Only then will we know for certain if, in the language of Animal Farm, all Tweeters are equal, but some Tweeters are more equal than others.
