So the offending tweet got deleted by twitter, but the account is still up. I scrolled through the first page and they are literally calling for doxing ICE agents right there. Pasted both pics to imgur

Okay, sure, doxing is bad, you've reported it, and as you've said, they've deleted a previous post. I don't know what the threshold is, but pretty sure there is one at some point. That being said, Alex Jones is still up and tweeted 5 minutes ago, and has done things at least as bad, if not worse. So... yeah.

But, that's 1 out of 3 you've "address", and your 1 isn't even compelling. You literally tell me flat out that Twitter is indeed responding to reports and acting on them.

Anyways, please address the other two, and I hope they actually demonstrate what you claim.

So your complaint is that a tweet which you reported was … deleted? Twitter’s process generally sucks but that really doesn’t support the claim that there’s political discrimination going on – I’m certain that if you switched to reporting right-wing extremists, Gamergaters, etc. you’d have the same experience.

This is just one example. My complaint is that accounts like that stay up despite numerous reports. And Alex Jones is saint compared to these guys...

It is hard to take someone seriously when they try to argue that Alex Jones is a saint compared to Joshua Malina from The West Wing.

I was referring to @ucf_socialism and other similar antifa groups. Whose activities led to an actual physical harm to people and property.
