You’re just making a bunch of assumptions. The tweet thread mentioned blocking trolls. The only person he actually named is Elon. I fail to see how that is demonizing whole groups of people. At no point did I advocate for blocking people simply because you disagree with them. the thread mentioned blocking anyone with opposing opinions by demonizing them. ITs ok. Like most racist. Bigots often dont grasp what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 So let’s say I have a Twitter account that republishes public information on private jet activity, including that of a private jet owned by a certain Mr Musk. A free speech proponent would never ban that account. Right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And yes, if you know my name and state you can find my address for free in about 20 seconds.) My point is every site will have some kind of rule for what is allowed on it. As I said, this is public information. That flight tracker guy is just making it easier to access. So it’s not “free speech vs censorship.” Its “my brand of censorship vs yours.” Which is fair if you own the damn site. Which is exactly what those of us who defended pre-Elon Twitter were saying.

Are you saying you were defending Twitter's apparent political censorship? Yes. That is what I am saying. - Twitter was a publicly traded corporation, it had duly appointed officers and a Board, and those persons made a decision as to what kind of speech they would prohibit based on business and other factors that were entirely within their rights to apply. (Just as others were free to criticize those decisions and start their competing forums) - Twitter is now a privately held company that is presumably in compliance with whatever state (Delaware?) authority under which it is registered regarding corporate governance, and if it doesn’t believe that allowing someone to post about the whereabouts of its majority owner’s private plane, that is its decision to make. (And others are free to criticize those decisions or start their own competing services). Not really so hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other account was a bot that was just running a script to automatically post and all bots like that are being blocked including the Chinese bots that push communism so hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
