The title of the article in the link tells you how it started….

http://news.softpedia.com/news/twitter-bans-user-for-posting-a-death-threat-against-a-mosquito-517555.shtml

Seems Twitter really, really doesn’t like threats and/or violence, and instead of having humans check every tweet every day they have computers scan them. And those computers, like Twitter’s official written policy, aren’t too good at distinctions about threats to *who* (or what).

Don’t know about super-smart computers taking over the world in the future, or even computers taking all our jobs, but could we please get our artificial intelligence to be a little smarter before we depend on it for things it is too dumb to handle? Please!

“All hail our new robot overlords!”.
