SoylentNews
The actress, who has emerged as a Hollywood voice in the Harvey Weinstein sexual-assault scandal, revealed that Twitter had locked her account on Wednesday night.
Rose McGowan had a hold placed on her Twitter account Wednesday night, an act that quickly sparked outrage among the many users who have been following her posts ever since news first broke of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
The actress, who has emerged as a Hollywood voice after finding herself thrust into the center of the developing story of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault allegations against the movie mogul, took to her Instagram and Facebook accounts to relay the news of her temporary suspension, writing cryptically that "TWITTER HAS SUSPENDED ME. THERE ARE POWERFUL FORCES AT WORK. BE MY VOICE. #ROSEARMY."
She added a screenshot (below) from a message from Twitter telling her that she had violated their terms of service and that she would be locked out for 12 hours once she deleted certain tweets. She posted the message late Wednesday night.
As of 7:20 a.m. PT on Thursday, Twitter had unlocked McGowan's account, telling THR the temporary lock was due to the actress tweeting out a private number, which falls under the private information violation under Twitter Rules. McGowan deleted the post to regain access.
Are social media platforms common carriers, or not?

Keeping into account that S/N is a(nti?)-social, he is right

Ohh, bullshit.
Are you posting pictures of your fucking lunch? Are there 140 character inane messages from you constantly? Are there PICTURES anywhere on your posts? Can you create an article and schedule it for the front page so we can talk about your bullshit specifically? Are we all pondering why the cray bitch called you a name at Wallmart?
I think it's just real popular to try and call every site a "social media" site, when it isn't. By your logic I was participating in social media all the way back when I had a handle on several BBS, and then several more on pirate BBS boards.
That's bullshit though, and it's bullshit that SoylentNEWS is a social media site. It gathers articles from the rest of the Internet through automatic submissions and the submissions of the members. You have no control over it, and I don't have any control over it. All we can do is comment on the articles.
Yeah, sure. A site that doesn't operate like a social media site at all, is somehow a social media site. If this place acted like a social media site, I would have absolutely fucking nothing to do with it.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.

It's a media site where we socialize by doing things like discussing whether it is a social media site.

I think that people have been retroactively, or dynamically, redefining what social media is. Probably because it is a pants-wetting buzzword for the execufucks and marketers. Obviously, I take great offense to being included in social media :)
However, going from Wikipedia here, SoylentNews fails to meet the definition on #2 and certainly #4. On #4, there are the "friends" thing that was a hold over from the old site and code, but it isn't really functional. I can't search for friends of friends, or sort messages by their content, etc. That's about as deep as it gets here for #4, and by all objective standards, SoylentNews sucks at being a social media site. The features are horrible, incomplete, and inadequate for a true social media site.
On #2, SoylentNews is about as much a social media site as CNN is with the comments on their articles through Disqus, or whatever proprietary social media glue they are using. We create content through our comments here, and create content through our article submissions, but that is about it. I'm aware there is a journal feature, but that is much close to a blogger site, than social media site. Social media is chaos of ever changing content with no direction, while SoylentNews is a carefully directed series of articles that allows us to talk about the article. Anything else is off-topic, and off-topic seems to work for social media in general, while it is punished here.
Sorry, but SoylentNews is not a social media site. If it is one, it sucks at it. Which is why I like it so much :)
