Even I am getting annoyed with PC regulations now

gon I'm going to predict it was a mistake. PC hasn't gone as mad as many people claim. That's coming from someone who has been accused of being hateful of things by overly PC people. 

I've known people get banned for no reason on Twitter and it turns out it was a mistake. I wouldn't jump straight onto the 'it's PC gone mad' 

I find it interesting that everyone else jumped straight on  that bandwagon too.  

Unless I'm later corrected and they come up with some, 'you were offensive,' thing. 

But isn't that terrifying in itself?

What in particular? I'm confused.

funny discussion to be having on a forum regarding autism...wouldn't you say.

Funny? In what sense?

I can only speak for myself, but as an autistic man, I am perfectly capable of discussing a wide range of topics, including censorship. 

Whether it is deliberate or not, it is still censorship.  Private companies such as Facebook and Twitter are allowed to maintain their social networking monopoly through anticompetitive conduct. If you have made it so that you are the only game in town, then it's a very dangerous to also give you the power to decide who plays or not.

I would have thought we had learned from history that the impulse to enforce strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom always leads to the consolidation of financial and political power by one group or elite, followed by unspeakable atrocities and crimes against the rest of humanity.

is "censorship" by a faulty algorithm the same as censorship by a government or authority? its almost like there is a difference between accidental and intention. like accidentally hurting someones feelings and intentionally hurting someones feelings.
