Twitter’s flabbergasting self-own after a week of purging conservative opinion. This is what the Twitter Public Policy account tweeted today:
Ahead of the Ugandan election, we’re hearing reports that Internet service providers are being ordered to block social media and messaging apps. We strongly condemn internet shutdowns—they are hugely harmful, violate basic human rights and the principles of the #OpenInternet. Access to information and freedom of expression, including the public conversation on Twitter, is never more important than during democratic processes, particularly elections.
Are they really this dense? Or were they trying to be ironic?
