As far as I know both the people who doxxed kavanagh and jk Rowling are still happily posting on twitter.

Oh and the journalist who threatened those schoolboys with violence.

Of course those aren’t real threats of violence apparently. Only the right threatens actual violence. The left only does rhetoric. /s

Those people should also be banned from twitter. Just because some folks aren't banned when they should be doesn't mean we should stop banning everyone.

This isn't a left vs right thing. It's a "we shouldn't let people bring harm to other people online" thing. It seems you're the one making it left vs right.

...but they aren't banned from Twitter: that's the point. "Should" is different from "are" -- and "should" doesn't mean a whole bunch.

Last I checked both Kavanaugh and Rowling have shit loads of security. I can't say the same for a random trans person, can you???

Ah yes, because having security makes it okay.
