  • Can never seem to understand this reasoning. Musk seems to largely have solved the censorship problem on twitter, which could be regarded as a vital piece of modern dempcracy (along with the rest of the internet, which mostly suffer from said censorship).

    While at it he weeded out some traitors, who actively sabotaged during this period. Im well aware that corporate takeovers arent something “good”, but this one actually seems to make free speech a first class value.

    This censorship is imposed by advertisers, which is somehow celebrated. Were talking disney, coca cola, whatever… These all want to control what you can or can not hear, and people are celebrating it?

    The proper response to advertisers trying to co trol democracy is absolutely “go fuck yourself”, this should be the norm.















  • Ever think about where these people come from? Isolation.

    The mass censorship strategies of today only serves to divide the extremes. It fosters friction.

    In my view, a sane (sanest?) policy would be to use the law as a framework of what is acceptable.

    Getting billionares to silence people we do not like is not virtuous, whether it be media smear canpaigns or deplatforming.

    We should care about free speech on our platforms. It is the cornerstone of civilization.
