Same story as athletes. You have "King James" very vocal in USA politics but silent when it comes to China.
Virtue signaling isn't fun if nobody hears/sees it. CBS News learned that when they "left" Twitter for 24 hours this weekendand you just need to tell people don't you?
I was looking at latest Verge article and saw more associated articles, all you can do is go wow what a mess.
The US government still isn’t sure about Elon Musk’s Twitter
Twitter’s copyright strike system appears to be broken.
Reddit’s software community is laughing at Elon.
Musk has already axed the Twitter ad exec he reportedly convinced to stay
If you believe every word you read yeah but the media has written so much BS about Elon lately that they contradict themselves accidentally sometimes.
Right, the guy who said "nothing fundamentally will change" and opposes single-payer healthcare is "far left".That's like saying Mitt Romney is "far right". You guys have no idea what "far left" means and it would shock you if you met an actual far left individual.
I suspect this is his/her misunderstanding.
1. S/he correctly understands “free speech” does not exist in private organizations.
2. So, no one has “free speech” on Twitter. That is correct because the First Amendment (and the other Bill of Rights) only limits government.
3. However, where his disconnect comes in… is his/her misunderstanding of the definition censorship. S/he is of the mistaken belief censorship can only occur by a government. S/he thinks there’s some “legal” component to the term…hence his reference to ‘colloquial v legal’.
4. Such mistakes are common among those who’s earned their jd from Google.

Not by a long shot. Most of the witnesses were republicans who voted for trump and many worked for him. Are you saying trump doesn't "hire the best people"?
Pointless, he is putting 90 percent of the site on his ignore list anyway so kinda banning himself in a way
I never said the guy was far right, I said that that tweet was a radical far right position and there is no denying that it is.
Kinda loses its meaning (whatever it is) when they call everyone who disagrees with them one though.
It isn't a far right position, it is a right wing position for sure but not far right. Not everything is radical or extreme.
What is Pepe the frog? I’ve never heard of it. But are you saying because it’s widely used in the gaming community that it should be allowed?
It was an attempted insurrection by definition. The brainwashing was to convince the right wing base that it was a simple peaceful protest... but anyone who watches live on tv could see that it wasn't.
It was an attempted insurrection by definition. To deny it is to succumb to the rightwing propaganda.
Phil didn't make any announcement he was leaving Twitter. He just closed his account. How is it "virtue signaling" when an independant third-party reports on his actions?
I did lead with that in my next comment, but going only by that tweet, it is by definition a radical right wing position.
It’s one of the most popular internet memes. Even LGBTQ groups on discord use it.
Why would apple ban a cartoon frog, because one person on the right used it once? Silly.
the fact that the "government" is so interested in twitter now should scare normal people..
Same way the "ok" signal with your hands became a "radical right wing" thing somehow.
