Why is moderation required on a platform like twitter? If somebody makes offensive tweets who forces you to view their page? If some group of people openly plot criminal activity why not let the civil authorities prosecute them for their crimes? I don't get the impulse to control free speech online. Offline you can say whatever you want in a public forum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxxDkAkclw4

Well if you give the address of the teenage daughter of you noisy neighbour doing parties all the time with a pic that say "come and take me", maybe you crossed a line that should stimulate moderation?

Re-read my sentence about prosecuting crimes being the job of civil authorities not some Twitter moderator. I would much rather somebody who did something like you mentioned feared being arrested instead of just banned from Twitter.

Also this is kind of how twitter requiring phone verification comes in handy. Joe Jerk Neighbour calls strangers as above to accost Neighbour Daughter. Strangers are arrested They say @jjerk put us up to it. Thanks to twitter the cops know exactly who @jjerk is in real life. No need for moderator memory hole, just arrest the guy.
