It's "Twitter Freedom Friday!"

This is just another episode of I want it to be true, so I know it's true.

 

[Kindfarmer]

Prove it. That's not what the internal documents show.

as if those could not have been doctored by anyone? It's not exactly a secure and transparent chain of custody here. Go away. You bother me

He broke the Twitter TOS. After all of your banishments, you would think that you would get a clue as to how that all works by now.

No not at all. What I am saying is a fact. It is in the fact world. You have to weld in the AltFact world for far too long. That is a case of projection if I've ever seen one. That's your first go to. Next will be be ad hominem attacks, finally stupid memes they have nothing to do with the issue.

 

[Kindfarmer]

You're the one making the claims that are wrong. I have no obligation to prove anything to you. It is your obligation as a supposed human being, to learn the truth.

OH!!!!

I get it!!

The Hunter Biden laptop defense!

I already provided you with sourcing. Now, it's up to you to tell me if those reporters and Elon Musk are spreading disinformation.

You know you don't have to scour the "Twitter Docs" to ogle pics of Hunter's cock, bro.

 

[Kindfarmer]

What does your refusal to acknowledge reality stem from? As if you are offering any points of relevance or credibility? You're the perfect poster boy for why this particular platform needs a hard block function. I have enough proudly stupid in my life already. I live in Missouri.....

Look, a 'bed wetters' support group.

Of course their going after Musk, or anyone else that's fallen out of their favor, doesn't 'endanger' them at all, right?

Some bed wetting Twitter refugees are migrating their self-promotional hot takes to LinkedIn. Elon might unintentionally be making the professional personal branding site an entertaining playground for former blue checks.

But my B.S. detector goes off when I see precise statistics, for a bunch of reasons. How well are these self-appointed watchdog organizations monitoring all of Twitter? Users send, on average, 500 million tweets a day. Users sending 3,900 racist tweets in a day is a bad thing, but that would still represent 0.0000078 percent of all tweets. No wonder the average user isn’t noticing it. For perspective, the U.S. has 24,000 homicides per year out of a population about 330 million people, meaning 0.000072 percent of all Americans are murdered in a given year. In other words, racist tweets make up a smaller share of all tweets than murder victims make up a share of all Americans. …

And how much does it matter if someone with only a few followers is vomiting his rage into the void? How much of this is worth worrying about on a platform with block and mute features? The reason you see so many horrible comments on social media is because they offer people a combination that was previously rare in human experience: anonymity and the ability to reach a wide audience. This allows people to express all of the taboo, controversial, or antisocial thoughts that would usually bring negative consequences if expressed explicitly in offline life. It’s a formula to bring out people’s inner jerk, and it’s more or less baked into the cake of the user experience. The only factor that might mitigate it would be eliminating anonymous users, but then a lot of people wouldn’t want to use Twitter.

But all of that complicates the preferred narrative: “Elon Musk bought Twitter, and the hate-mongers took over.” Because Twitter was such an online earthly paradise before then.

Schiff and Takano ostensibly are just asking questions and urging Musk to step up enforcement of Twitter's ban on "hateful conduct." But they are doing that in their official capacity as members of Congress, a job that gives them no authority to police speech or insist that anyone else do so. To the contrary, the First Amendment explicitly bars Congress from "abridging the freedom of speech." By publicly pressuring Musk to censor "hate speech," which is indisputably covered by the First Amendment, Schiff and Takano are trying to indirectly accomplish something that the Constitution forbids.

Schiff don't give a Schiff Free Speech or his Constitutional boundaries.

But the First Amendment allows them to voice that concern.

Again, why do you go so hard for hate speech?

Look, a 'bed wetters' support group.

Do you need one?

Fauci is next:

Don’t get me wrong. The stuff about Twitter censoring the Hunter Biden story and banning Donald Trump over January 6th is interesting. I’m not suggesting those topics aren’t important and haven’t been eye-opening. But I will go out on a limb and say that Twitter’s ruthless, Orwellian censorship of COVID-19 information, which occurred right up until Musk bought the company, was not only its most wide-ranging bit of malfeasance, but it was also the most damaging.

For years, truthful statements about things like the vaccines, masks, lockdowns, and the origins of the coronavirus led to bans of major accounts, including those run by accredited medical professionals with years of service. In the second “Twitter Files” release, it was revealed that Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, who had done groundbreaking research on the inefficacy of mask-wearing in relation to COVID-19, had been shadow-banned for speaking the truth.

Comprehension is still your Achille's Heel.

 

[Kindfarmer]

Exactly. Stick your fingers in your ears and go la-la-la-la-...

Oh here's a brain trust.....

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Comprehension is still your Achille's Heel.

More personal attacks instead of addressing what was written.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Oh my. Hate speech!

[JohnEBbad]

Here's the thing, as a private company, Twitter can do pretty much what it wants, which it was doing. However, I don't believe they can lie about it and especially when they go before Congress and lie under oath...

Similarly, now that Musk owns the company, he can release the records of what they were up to, after all, he purchased them and is exposing them and the Left is going crazy, my favorite part of all of this; they scream about free speech while attacking free speech that they don't much approve of.

"Constitutional boundaries" is not the hill you want to die on, bruh. You got no standing. Jesus fucking Christ

Twitter’s ruthless, Orwellian censorship of COVID-19 information,

Adding a tag with a link to accurate information is ruthless Orwellian censorship?
