GBS POST-INTELLIGENCER - JULY 20, 2016
(by Lawrence Gilchrist, GBS POST-INTELLIGENCER)
INTERNET -

IN a bid to reduce the amount of one type of annoying blowhard on their website, nightmarishly ubiquitous town crier app Twitter (NASDAQ:TWIT) announced a ban on all forms of the gross-out image "Goatse".

Peeple founders Jaclynne and Nicole spoke out against the chilling effect this may cause.

Myspace founder Tom Anderson weighed in on similar TOS restrictions on the popular serial flaunting app Instagram.

BREAKING - The furor shows no signs of ending in the near future - Anti-Black news aggregator ScaredMonkeys.com fired back today with a storm of "Tubgirl" images, notably using the popular hacking filetype ".gif".

While it's nice to see a thread with some effort put into it in this debased GBS, I am not quite sure wtf the OP is trying to say. Please edit your post to make sense (and possibly obtain megathread status?!).

When people post Twitter conversations I always have a hard time figuring out which end to start reading from and who's talking to who. Sometimes I think I should start actually using Twitter so I can follow along with stuff like this but then I remember I'm not a dick enthusiast fuckman

Me too. I consider myself pretty good with computers and technology but try as I might, I have no clue what I'm doing on Twitter or who is saying something to who about what. I'll see a tweet by someone super famous and there's only like ten, maybe twenty replies. How is that possible?

How can literal children use this thing and I still can't figure it out yet I coded html in the 90s as a kid?
