What? You mean to say... you won't enjoy your timeline being spammed with foaming-in-the-mouth MAGA rants and random QAnon solicitations to join the 45th Legion to Defend Against the Reptilian Invaders?
And I'm sure you can still have the option to block the occasional ads for Testicle Tanning Salons.
The fact that you think Elon is merely a car company CEO speaks volumes about your knowledge of the subject.
Hey, while you are peering into your crystal ball, looking at the future, would you be a dear and snag a few stock picks for us all? Thanks!
Saying “I hate gays/blacks/jews and they should be killed” is legal speech in the USA. Government can’t arrest you for it. If you allow speech like that on your site, it will drive away the decent people who don’t like to be in such an environment and you’ll only have Nazis left.
well, I looked it up in Twitter’s policies:
”Violent organizations policy”
…
”This policy also doesn’t apply to state or governmental organizations.”
I suppose you could argue where the line is between individual politicians and government organizations.
LOL. You realize the other side says the same thing about Democrats?
A functioning representative democracy must have at least two vibrant and viable political parties. Anyone who doesn't agree with that has very minimal intelligence.
Take a pill and calm down. That is clearly hate speech. Nobody is advocating that. Chill.
Here's a prime example of why this country is so divided currently... tribalistic garbage like this comment.
Billionaires have owned the media for centuries, remember yellow journalism? Washington Post has been owned by Jeff Bezos for years and years; all media companies are used to push propaganda.
Take a look at Sinclair broadcasting's propaganda:
the new multiple group owner will pay up to $3bil for Chelsea FC12 Chelsea football clubs? More like… 50 Chelsea football clubs and then some.
3x12=36
Musk paid 44 billion.
so freakin dystopian and disturbing... the lesson is turn off your television, and get your news from independent sources and not these talking head sycophants.
He's a man-baby who thumbs his nose at the law, and who accuses people he doesn't like of being pedophiles, and who punishes his employees for telling the truth, or sharing their opinions if he doesn't like them.
This is not a blow for free speech. This is more of the same garbage we have been dealing with for years now with the far right circumventing laws and norms to stay in power as people shift more to the left.
Maybe take into consideration the political affiliation of the majority of elites and billionaires in this country before you just assume that those that circumvent laws such as paying taxes are all on the right. You're woefully misinformed.
That is literally all the left has been doing for several years now is circumventing laws to stay in and increase their power ... oftentimes outright ignoring the Constitution. Both sides (I don't know how you can be on either side at this point with the level of corruption going on) are insanely corrupt and nobody is doing anything about it. The power should belong to the people, but the people are having their power ripped from their hands by the corrupt elite. What's really sad is, they can have all the power and money they want ... AND be doing good things for the people and the country. It is absolutely not necessary to be an evil turd to accomplish all these things. The majority of the power and corruption right now is coming from the left, however. Anyone with eyes and brain can see that.
I can bring Apple into this with all their Chinese pandering if you want.
If you want to see a political party circumventing laws and norms, check out the current Democrat party, including the Biden admin. It'll blow your mind, man.
Biden passing rent moratoriums and vaccine mandates he knows won't pass Constitutional muster; the House of Representatives kicking people off committee assignments; a drive by the radical left to pack the Supreme Court; a drive by the Left to suppress free speech; the Biden admin flagrantly and willfully ignoring border laws; the Biden admin conspiring with school associations to investigate parents with the FBI; using the FBI to go after political opponents and holding Jan. 6 accused without bail. The list goes on.
This is not your parents' Democrat party- there is a disturbing trend towards autocracy, which is ironic, because that's what they project onto Republicans.
Nothing suggests that they will pay that price, when the teams net worth is 2.5b as a 2022 estimate. Your ‘3bil’ is not accurate. Please do some researching before quoting.
“According to Forbes, the club was worth around £2.4 billion ($3.2 billion) in April 2021, but a KPMG valuation now suggests it is worth £1.5 billion ($2.1 billion).”
How much did Roman Abramovich pay for Chelsea? | Sporting News
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich confirmed on Wednesday that he is looking to sell the club.
First of all that’s a load of BS, none of those actually happened, SC is still 6-3 conservative. Democrats are the same toothless useless neoliberals they’ve always been.
Which is a shame, because pas de liberte pour les ennemis de la liberte. If I saw a wrecked car and they had a republican bumper sticker or a bumper sticker associated with conservatism I would gladly watch them burn and not render aid. Democrats in congress are useless unfortunately, they all should see republicans as ukranians see russians, because that‘s how it is.
