Twitter censors user's tweet about the Civil War and the Lee statue: A Twitter user tweeted a photo along with someone else's tweet, and both were covered by sensitive content filters. The photo showed two Civil War veterans, one from each side, shaking hands. The tweet was from @Jeff_Davis1808 and said: "'I believe it to be the duty of every one to unite in the restoration of the country and the reestablishment of peace.' - Robert E. Lee. #twitterstorians #cancelculture The statue IS about healing. Can someone teach this moron about Lee's life after the war?" The tweet included a link to a video that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam recorded as the Lee statue was being removed in Richmond, Virginia. Twitter placed a sensitive content filter over both parts of the user's tweet. Such filters do not allow users on the mobile app who have the sensitive filter enabled on their profile to view the filtered content at all. On the web version of Twitter, the users must click through the sensitive content interstitial in order to view the filtered content. Not only do such filters give the impression of inappropriate content, similar filters have been shown to reduce user interaction with content.
