No, it means more free speech.
There are literal terrorist organizations on Twitter right now that are calling for the genocide of other countries and aren't being censored. So the hypocrisy of Twitter has known no bounds.
Yeah there are Twitter accounts that have been banned and literally all they did was post tweets of people contradicting themselves. The type of censoring going on in inexcusable. These weren't even issues of hate speech or harm, they were just posting hypocrisy.
People want to willingly ignore what's actually happening. I mean there is literal modern day genocide happening in China. When Biden was asked about it, he said it was just part of their culture.
Right. But did any of those leader's followers storm the capital, kill police officers and steal laptops from our politicians why they stood by and watched?
Although that event was stupid, how many police "officers" (for some reason you are using that plurally) were actually killed during that day? One cop died later from health complications and an unarmed woman was shot and died. People were taking selfies inside the capital and officers let them inside. That entire day was idiotic and shouldn't have happened, but what actually happened was blown way out of proportion. And yes, genocide in China is infinitely worse than what happened that day. Or terrorists in the Middle East throwing homosexuals off the roof for being homosexuals (and the God knows what they are doing to women and children every single day). Or parents eating their own children in North Korea because they're starving. You're living in a bubble. You have no idea the atrocities happening in the world.
Lol. You think he won't censor? Elon Musk does not care about free speech (which - indisputably - does not apply to Twitter). Rather, Elon Musk is a fan of speech without accountability. Big difference.
I wasn’t complaining that those tweets exist. I was countering the claim that Twitter is some kind of partisan echo chamber, left wing or otherwise.
Right, but this was about the US and Trump's influence over US citizens. He's like freakin' Jim Jones. Allowing that man a platform is dangerous. Not because he's right-wing or the left-wing of whatever... there are plenty of sensible, responsible people from the right who are on Twitter and allowed to tweet endlessly. The reason Trump isn't on there is because he's able to influence people to violence with a single tap of a finger, and that's just too dangerous to meddle with. So they removed him. It's pretty simple stuff.
The killing of the police officers has been debunked, not one person that has been arrested at the capitol "insurrection" has been charged of such a thing, and all but one of those officers died under curious situations days after the event. In fact, if you bothered to watch any archived video of the event, most of the capitol police stood around and watched them walk right in as if the whole thing was encouraged.
Without acknowledging the validity of your example (because except for a few bad actors, what happened on Jan. 6 was a riot), we can say that, yes– the leaders of China, Saudi Arabia, and the Taliban do far worse than that on a daily basis, including genocide.
If the CDC is posting it, is it really a tough subject?
I don't belong to a political party. I have no pony in the race. But I can see crazy from a mile away, and it comes in shades of blue and red. Trump is a madman, period. If I were a republican, I would not have voted for him, and I would not have supported him after he won. He was a disgrace to the office he represented, based on the way he spoke and carried himself alone. Beyond a president's policies, his decorum is paramount and matters... and Trump was like a heavy-drinking, loud-mouthed, swashbuckling mechanic sitting at the end of the bar, telling one politically-incorrect joke after another. In other words, he's not fit for the oval office. And the whole Twitter thing is the result of that.
Are they calling for genocide on Twitter? Or are they terrorist organizations that are on Twitter but don’t break the Twitter TOS on Twitter itself? (I honestly don’t know, perhaps there are Tweets by these organizations that should result in the banning of their account)
You're kidding, right? They threatened to ban the American Heart Association for posting studies that the vaccine has been linked to an enlarged heart. They ban anyone that doesn't align with their narrative, not just "madmen". It has nothing to do with crazy people. People are getting banned for very mild things. If you can't see that, then there's nothing I can do for you. And yes, they are very anti-Republican. Banning every single one of them wouldn't make sense and would be an even more obvious abuse of power. But the ones that are being banned aren't often "madmen" ... they are just stating ideas that go against the narrative. Please ... just stop.
Yes, they are calling for genocide and death on Twitter. They are greatly violating the TOS, but they don't get banned. Twitter only cares about TOS when it goes against their narrative.

Conservatives, liberals, and progressives do not bother me, it's unfortunate some are so deep in their own hate they cannot see it. I prefer a place that welcomes all views, especially opposing. I like the free exchange of ideas whether I agree with them or not. If I see something absolutely abhorrent I keep scrolling and do not waste time crying about it. Twitter was the best purchase, it is already well established. It just had zero direction or accountability, the rules were more fluid than gender. I hope they create some solid guidelines and work to educate or root out the actual hate that exists on there.
