Twitter censors factual statement about the census: A Twitter user reported that a tweet he posted months prior about the census got him in trouble for a confusing reason. The tweet in question stated: "@Ilhan The purpose of the census is to count citizens and legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are neither. #FactsMatter." Months after tweeting this, Twitter locked his account for 12 hours and forced him to delete the tweet because, according to the notice, it violated its rules against posting misleading information about voting. It is unclear what a factual statement about the census has to do with voting.
