Of course it's paternalistic!

“You are not allowed to quote a tweet because it in principle can be used to abuse someone, even though this is not at all what you planned to do.”

The idea that something like quoting (i.e. *linking*) can be considered a “safety” issue is frankly insane.

This kind of babysitting mentality is unsustainable, and is large part of what is holding this platform back.
