    To my knowledge, twitter doesn’t block anyone from using slurs to begin with. I’m sure you can find plenty used on daily basis on “black twitter” for example.

    That being said I’m going to need a more credible source than a random screenshot

          Your post gets restricted to followers only and you get a full screen “don’t say slurs” popup. I also believe your tweet doesn’t qualify for their ad program if you’re making money through Twitter.

          I’d say the tweet would be treated comparable to tweeting “death to all Jews” but these days I’m not sure if Twitter would still consider that problematic.

            Are you sure? Last time I checked it just gives you a pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to use that word as some people can find it problematic and if you say yes it’ll get posted like a normal tweet.

        Well I said black twitter because I’m talking about the Voldemort slur I’m not even allowed to say aloud
