Journalist friends, you know what to do.

Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold
We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

One of the biggest insights I've had over the past year is that many people, contra utilitarianism, are actually attached to pain and suffering, and view any attempt to help solve their problems or relieve them as a personal attack. It's one of those things you start seeing everywhere, can't unsee.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

give excess food to your neighbors directly

give money to food banks
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I get they don't want to litigate every suspension but when they suspend completely anodyne accounts who aren't going around suggesting we firebomb Walmarts or calling people slurs or whatever, what are we supposed to think?

So saying "we did it because of content, not identity" -- sure, but the content doesn't seem to be a problem to any website that values free communication?

The thing is, we don't know, and nobody can remember her saying something, for instance, violent, or whatever, that would make people say, "okay, I get why that suspension happened."

Saying, "we didn't suspend her because she researched authoritarian states, we suspended her because she talked about her research"....that's a bizarre distinction.

If you suspended her because of something else, it would be useful to know.

The identity of Sarah Kendzior, researcher on authoritarian states, and Sarah Kendzior's content discussing authoritarian states are...not really easy to separate.

So I'm struggling to see this as a response.
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v
