Nazis are literally banned in Germany so I'd been wondering how Twitter 2.0's strategy of unbanning the Nazis as a growth hack would play there.
It turns out it doesn't and the company just got hit with its first lawsuit for not enforcing German laws.

@carnage4life But he was quick as a bunny to block that Modi documentary.
It seems it mightn't be just gross incompetence and negligence.
@carnage4life On the US side, lack of privacy snd consent by these corporations is normalized and "accept it, its just how it is". Of course individials who havent normalized these things usually dont have the resources/cash to fight it.
Im finding more and more that when big tech companies do things that affect consumer privacy or safety (like in this case)... European entities (that can afford legal) and GDPR are the only ways to get these things addressed.
Maybe someone fired, or didnāt talk to, all his legal staff at <place>
Whoopsie. Too bad.
@carnage4life If only they had a team of people who were responsible for safety and trust on the platform. They could call it āSafety & Trustā or something.
Wait. *holds finger to ear* Oooooohhhhhhhhhā¦
@carnage4life It shows that the approach "Anything legal is OK" maybe isn't that easy to uphold.
Different countries, different legislation. So a more narrow moderation is needed.
