Twitter Unverifies A Bunch of Nazis, Internet Rejoices
Twitter’s verification process has always been a strange animal. Although Twitter claims the process isn’t meant to be an endorsement — the fact that Twitter prefers users with the blue check marks, sending them to the top of the chain at responses and giving them special preference for reporting trouble tweets — tells a different story. Twitter’s response to its abuse problems have been… absurdly slow to say the least. One of its biggest issues has been the verification of hard right white supremacists — such as Richard Spencer. Well, the shoe finally dropped, buddy! In an explanation, Twitter proclaimed- ‘Hey. We don’t need your gross kind anymore’. Because guys. For a while there it looked like they just sort of didn't care. Good to see that turning around.
Amongst the White Supremacists unverified we have Laura Loomer, Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler — the organizer of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. The white supremacists have— predictably— lost their crap about this. Check out Laura Loomey comparing losing her blue check mark for being incredibly racist to the suffering of the Jews in the Holocaust. Gross work all.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.Congratulations @mikepawnstar! You have completed some achievement on Steemit and have been rewarded with new badge(s) :
