Enforcing New Rules to Reduce Hateful Conduct and Abusive Behavior

I don't think it's quite equal as there is a clause about protected groups. So I imagine that some abuse can be allowed if the target is not protected. Edits, worth pointing out that the link to the policy in depth adds an "or" to the clause in a less ambiguous way

I'm not sure what a protected group is, whether there's a list somewhere, of it's all relative (who holds more 'power' is less protected)?

For hint, look at Twitter's trust and safety partners, who determine what constitutes 'hate'

I hope Twitter realizes that this kind of skewed enforcement will just amplify the current cultural struggles and strengthen the compartmentalization between the political left and right.

Notable organizations in the list that I noticed:

Anti-Defamation League - The group that decided pepe the frog was a hate symbol

Muslim Advocates, World Jewish Congress - This group doesn't irritate me so much, except there are no advocacy groups for Christians.

National Network to End Domestic Violence - Specifies that they focus on ending female domestic violence only.

Feminist Frequency - Given how few people identify as feminists, I'm surprised this one is here.

There are probably more sketchy ones that I don't know.
