Gwen Snyder is uncivilHe's going to get people killed with this.
You know what Nazis used to do in my Twitter replies before I started mass blocking?
They'd give my home address out to OTHER Nazis in my replies who had expressed an interest in murdering my family and me.
Winter Trabex@gwensnyder I closed my account for other reasons, but if I saw this, I'd fly straight to the close account button and press that thing down hard.
Magnus Ahltorp@trabex @gwensnyder Next step is removing the “close account” button. After that, reviving closed accounts. He is free to do anything. Even make fake posts in other’s names.
@ahltorp @gwensnyder Faking posts from previously closed accounts sound likes big legal liability. But I wouldn't put it past him. In business terms, this would be called "painting the fence," which means inflating numbers from within the company to make it appear the public is more interested than they are.
@trabex @gwensnyder Yes, that’s true. I was talking mostly from a technical standpoint though. My main point is that it’s very easy to see the interface as something permanent and neutral (like a light switch) when it’s not. They are technically free to do anything when you press the buttons, and to restore anything they like. Some things might be punishable by law, but that doesn’t prevent them from happening. Irreversible harm is irreversible.
