You’re going to need to explain. How is his tweet right-wing, or most importantly, radical!? 😵💫
He alludes to liberals censoring people instead of just being standard moderation of hate speech and misinformation relating to elections. Their reason right wingers were banned was because they broke the terms of service. It portrays those companies as as part of some left wing conspiracy to censor conservative speech which is very far from the truth. It's simple moderation to comply with terms of service. Read it again and tell me honestly that it isn't a radical right wing position. Certainly more radical right wing than almost anything said on the left is radical.
"The 2020 election wasn't stolen" <--- far-left radical position
Apple is the richest company in the world. They’re not going to do something silly like that. If this was used by Trump I’m guessing he probably used to in a racist fashion.
As a reminder, Donald Trump was not considered a racist until he ran against the Democratic Party for president. Before that, he was mostly beloved by Hollywood and the media.
Yeah, that's equivalent... /s. For the record, I'm a liberal, so very far from the fascist right wing of then or the fascist right wing of today in US politics. If you truly are for free speech, then you have to accept that Twitter has the right to it as well. They have a right to moderate their platform. Now that Elon owns it, he can let trump back on and run it in to the ground if he wants. (Which he is doing a pretty good job if right now) Also there are consequences to speech. Trump incited an insurrection and was punished for it by twitter of the time. Most people were very happy that trump was at least held accountable for his actions if even a just tiny bit. Now people are kind of upset that Elon is reversing those consequences so he can do more in the future. The consequences to that action is that people are leaving twitter to twist in the wind before it becomes a cesspool of hate speech, and right-wing misinformation. Anyway, I don't have twitter and never have. I'm just sitting here eating popcorn.
The main reason they left Twitter (if they really did) was so they could tell others they left. Not referring to that specific person you replied to, but in a general sense.Thanks for telling us.. I know it was very important to you to do so..
Correct. And not one person can point to a specific tweet that warranted the suspension.
No he was known as a racist, a misogynist, and even the sociopath that he is for a long time by people who knew him or even met him casually. It's just that he wasn't running for leader of the free world. He just had a horrible reality tv show and a bunch of failed businesses. No one paid much attention to his crap until he wanted more power. Then people like me, who forgot that he existed, or thought of him as a punchline to a joke, started to take notice of his horrible views. He is racist. He his a sociopath. His past tweets prove that.
I don't care. You can accept the truth, or you can deny it. There are a lot of people on this thread who are doing the latter. You'll have plenty of company.
Yes I know.
I meant that right-wingers think it's a radical far-left position. Which is hilariously adorable.
There is zero evidence of it. Trump was beloved prior to daring to run against Hillary.
