Twitter censors user for using the phrase 'tarred and feathered': A Twitter user shared a screenshot of their censorship notice. The user tweeted "They are ALL a bunch of clowns. Should all be tarred and feathered by a citizens militia." Twitter claimed this was a violation of its "rules against abuse and harassment," despite this being a very old idiom that is not used literally in modern times, but rather as a statement that certain people need to be held accountable for their actions. This user seemed to be calling out some Republicans with this statement but this was not entirely clear from the screenshot. The user's account was locked until they deleted the tweet.
