• Tribune Censorship of Morante's account: "Twitter violates the freedom of expression of a legal spectacle"

  • Bulls New Youtube censor attack against bulls: deletes the master classes of Curro, Espartaco, Morante ...

  • Bulls Block a Twitter account for spreading two videos of Morante

Twitter has censored the profile of EL MUNDO's bull section, which has 19,000 followers, blocking the account on Thursday "for violating the rules that

prohibit the inclusion of graphic violence or content not suitable for minors in profile images."

The image pointed out by the popular

microblogging

social network

was a set by

Morante de la Puebla

in Valencia, placed at the top of the profile since its opening in 2015.

For Twitter, graphic violence is "

any type of gruesome content related to death, serious injury, violence or surgical content

.

"

And the content not suitable for minors is "any type of multimedia content

that is pornographic or whose purpose is to generate sexual arousal."

In its official statement, the platform has explained the reasons for this censorship: "Bullfighting content is allowed. Although, according to our policy regarding sensitive multimedia content,

graphic violence is not allowed in the profile

, the header or the images from the list banner, it is possible to share sensitive content within a Tweet, as

long as it is marked as sensitive content

. " According to the spokesperson, this is a violation of the sensitive content policy.

Neither thing nor the other can be deduced from the image, since it is taken in one of the thirds prior to the supreme luck, nor is it an explicit, pornographic image or whose objective is to generate "sexual arousal".

The last point is surprising because Twitter allows the sharing of pornographic content and there are many accounts specialized in "explicit images whose objective is to generate sexual arousal"

that can be accessed with a simple search.

Porn yes, bulls no

In fact, a judge in the United States this summer found indications that Twitter would have benefited from the publicity generated by the pedophile content that some of its users have shared.

Despite the fact that the image did not meet either of the two aforementioned assumptions, Twitter decided to hijack the use of the profile until the photograph disappeared.

It was automatically deleted

and from that moment on, the account could be used again

, from which news is shared with the fan tweeting community.

"I

clicked

a button and they returned the profile without the photograph. It had disappeared automatically.

It is gruesome

. Where is radicalism going to take us, this puritanism?" Asks Zabala de la Serna, head of the Bulls section.

"Sadistic pleasure"

It is not the first time that bullfighting, through Morante de la Puebla, has become a target of Twitter.

In July, the account of a supporter (@Moranteinfo) was blocked for uploading some videos of the afternoon of Algeciras considered "sadistic pleasure."

Nor is this harassment new for the world of bullfighting, which has suffered continuous censorship attacks in recent months.

For example, YouTube, which had become a video library with thousands of hours of bullfighting content, closed the channel of the Practical Fans Club last April.

And Facebook includes bullfighting among the reasons to report a publication to bullfighting.

"It is inappropriate, it bothers me or I don't like it," adds Facebook, pointing directly

to "bullfights."

Fernando Gomá, vice president of the Toro de Lidia Foundation and head of its legal area, pointed out, in a platform recently published in this newspaper, that "despite what was seen in those videos, it is an example

of what Spanish law considers Intangible cultural heritage: a bullfight ".

None of the companies mentioned above would be respecting Spanish law.

Gomá insists that we are not playing "allowing gigantic companies to decide

without any control on the exercise of fundamental rights such

as that of the

freedom of expression".

Zabala de la Serna is more direct:

"It is a legal spectacle. We cannot waver. We cannot

censor

ourselves

. This has happened with a section of a national newspaper. It is what seems most serious to me. It is surreal."
