Twitter censors user for reporting Facebook censorship: A Twitter user shared screenshots of his Facebook suspension. He posted a joke meme on Facebook that showed a photo of the bead toy popular in doctor's waiting rooms. The image came with the following caption: "Anyone who played with these at the doctors office is immune to COVID 100%." Facebook found this to be a violation of its Community Standards, and suspended the user's account for 30 days according to the screenshots. When the user posted screenshots of the violation on his Twitter feed, Twitter added a sensitive content filter over the tweet, forcing users to click through the interstitial filter in order to see the tweet. Not only do such filters give the impression of inappropriate content, similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
