Anti-mormon tweets were sent for three days, until Twitter disabled the account.

I didn't even know the Church had a Twitter account. That'll teach them to follow the fads of the day.Originally posted by Fiyero View Post
EDIT: I'd forgotten that every Utah newspaper article online is fertile anti-Mormon hunting ground. Good times. -
It took Twitter three days to do something about it and only after the threat of a lawsuit?

Did anyone else think it odd that there was no mention of what these tweets said, or at least an example of one? I know it said they were anti, but they didn't say they were too offensive to reprint. The politics of reporting.Comment

Why would the Trib print something that would make it look like it didn't approve of anti-LDS sentiment?Originally posted by UtahDan View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

I have not lived in Utah for years but I remember when I did thinking how odd it was that the Trib seemed to be even more sensitive to the church than the Desnews was, notwithstanding the origins of each. Maybe that has changed or the perception was never correct.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View PostComment

The Trib started out as an anti-Mormon paper. It's less what it was in it's early days, but will still do things to take jabs at anything LDS.Originally posted by UtahDan View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Correction. It was the Desnews account, not "The Church" per se. Separate entity, completely separate IT, etc."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

Did you see where Tony LaRussa is actually Suing Twitter over an event where someone made up an account with his name and posted a bunch of trash about drunk driving and the players the Cards lost in that accident.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View Post

I don't know if LaRuss really has a case, does he? He apparently doesn't have nor ever had a Twitter account. If he had an account that was hacked, I'm guessing that would be different.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

He is claiming defamation of his character and stating that Twitter has an "obligation" to ensure the identity of aa person opening an account. He likely has a case if he can show damage to his reputation by the actions of the imposter.Originally posted by il Padrino Ute View Post"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

That's a good argument, but how does Twitter ensure the identity of a customer? For example, how do folks here know that Triple D really isn't David Blood?Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

Could Twitter just claim to be a common carrier?"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
