I'm definitely against any tweets calling for the murder of anybody, I'll say that. But the "anti-harm" movement is not as benign as you think. For instance, see the firing of David Shor, who merely tweeted a study comparing the effectiveness of violent and nonviolent protests. There's an instance of someone who tweeted AGAINST harm, in that he was advocating for nonviolence. Yet he was still censored.
