@SentinelOfTruth And while Elmo thinks he's just within what the Apple and Google stores require, I don't think these companies will want the reputational damage which will result from folding on this.
@LiberalLibrarian Sure and that's the material response coming from these storefronts, but I just have to sit in awe of the sheer stupidity of the move and wonder if they know it would be abused, or are completely oblivious.

@Vanitas At the very least.
@LiberalLibrarian Like all the big thinkers on the Right, the big old intellectuals neglect to mention that anyone can, and will, SCREEN CAPTURE AND TWEET EACH BLOCKED PERSONS COMMENTS TO GET AROUND THE REPOSTING!
Block the ability to screengrab, cool; someone petty enough can and will snap a pic with their own phone and do the exact same thing as a screen grab.
It's a policy to give the bullies more power to harm others. Twitter should be kicked off the internet at this point.
