People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

MODERATORS
Typically, the app needs to ask for permissions like that, though. On Android, they need to ask to become a "Device admin", and they need to specify what specifically they'll use that access for. I imagine (though I'm unsure since it's never happened to me) they need to ask to update those permissions if they want their uses to change.
Agreed, but its not perfect. I recall but couldn't recover a link to a story about some application bypassing android or iPhone permissions.
Another big recent flaw allowed apps without the permission to draw over other apps.
