Twitter censors user for telling someone to "slap yourself for being a moron": A Twitter user shared a screenshot of his censorship notice. He was engage in a discussion with several other users, when he tweeted at them: "They really do have all you people brainwashed. Sad. Do me a favor and screenshot your tweet. Read it in a few years when you finally realize what is going on. Then slap yourself for being a moron." Twitter's flawed algorithm determined that the suggestion to "slap yourself" was encouraging self-harm or suicide, and locked the user's account as a result. After deleting the offending tweet, the user's account was restricted for twelve hours, according to the screenshot.
