What is this pre-2015 neutrality you speak of? Wikipedia mentions a 2015 campaign of trying to ban ISIS propaganda accounts. Are you talking about that?


The 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was formally launched on June 16, 2015, at Trump Tower in New York City.

My guess would be that parent commenter is talking about the time before Twitter was fighting back against the “alt right”.


I'd say it returns more to Twitter of 2010. It's the 2010 - 2013 era that people dig up "now-offensive" tweets from most often.


I remember that banning campaign as part of why Telegram got popular for ISIS.

posting mainstream media commentary on bias isn't going to win anyone over.
