Ya, he turned on him for a single idiotic statement. He damn sure agreed with everything else. Know own who else stated we were headed for civil war a while back? Dorsey.

Again, twitter is too important to elections and political discourse to allow it to moderate views that are offensive to the left. As long as those views don’t target a specific person,. i suppose you think the #learntocode bannings were justified too? The far more likely scenario over regulation is these companies no longer bother trying to be "fair" and just do dark with a policy of "if you cause us a problem, you're gone".

Totally resonable. There was no further context, Dorsey was just being more honest than you. I'd read a transcript but won't watch/listen to him because I don't have that kind of time and I don't want to support him with a click/view.

No, its not. I completely agree, racism is almosst entirely a right wing problem, but there is far more than race driving the right. Censorship of conservative views holds them together more than anything else you do could. Everytime you argue its okay to censor conservative views, you give them something to rally around. Like I said, theres no party for me. The so called right and left both disgust me. But I still think both your views should be heard.

As the owner of this site, I don't consider hypocrisy to be a big deal at all. In fact, I highly encourage it because it illustrates a higher-level of thinking and intellectual evolution. The only people who actually give a damn about hypocrisy in the real-world are annoying debate club members, boring-ass libs, intellectually bankrupt "moderates"/"centrists", and the walking personality voids known as the so-called Intellectual Dark Web. I actually consider it a high compliment to be called a "hypocrite"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still making money. The only deplatforming that worked was Milo, and only because I think he wanted to get away from all the crazyness that surrounded him. Deplatforming is a kneejerk wrong solution. It makes it look like you are afraid of what they have to say, not disgusted by it. And that is the message the right believes, that the left is afraid of the right, so they try to control them,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m saying Twitter has become so important that free speech must be enforced on it. And no, the progressives aren’t right. The progressives are turning into fascists. Fuck, today they are on twitter trying to cancel Joe Rogan for fighting for free speech and having Poole question Dorsey. You keep using free speech but don't know what it is. You are free to call your boss a cocksucker. Just don't expect to be taken seriously for saying you have first amendment rights and can't be fires. All sites have a terms of service and white supremacy and Nazism (which isn't peaceful by default) typically go against it for obvious reasons. Progressives are correct as usual. Your moderate stances are hilariously all far right and you wonder why progressives think the center in this country is right wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work is not the same as a national social media platform that has become highly important to our electoral process. Every american, if not harrassing or threatening anyone, should be able to participate in that without restriction to speech. \ You keep using this work analogy, but it doesnt hold any weight, because work has no bearing over the electoral process. Free speech isn't right wing, neither is protecting our democracy and right to participate in it. Twitter has become more than a private company, its integral to the nations politics. So stop with the paper thin arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
