[slewfan]

Believe it or not.?????. He is serious. This is how the left thinks.

They all think like Joe Biden. It's one big happy family of liars.

BREAKING: Apple backs down, Tim Cook tells Elon they will not ban Twitter from App Store

They never were banning Twitter.


Bitch boy Elon pissed because Apple pulled advertisements off Twitter. He also fired the team of employees that took care of Apples business on twitter. This is Elon BS deflection.

Also, I think Apple is an evil corporation. So don't come back with your own BS deflection.

dude you can't be serious.

But you are right, I'm not serious! Musk runs twitter now he should have anyone he wants on it and no one he doesn't want! We don't need the government telling us how to run our businesses' in the USA! Like I said before that's how they do it in Russia, North Korea, and China we are supposed to be a free enterprise country not a Totalitarian crap state!

My last comment to you was in response to your last comment about antifa when you made this intellectually dishonest masterpiece ..." Twitter bans what happened to free speech for all! Out the window". As if inciting violence was even allowed. Have you not heard the one about yelling fire inside a crowded movie theatre? Sure you have whether you admit it or not.

I thought it said they were banned from Twitter. If it didn't, my bad.
Sure I've heard that one it's Jack McCoys favorite saying!


But I wasn't the one that posted something saying: free speech is all speech even speech you find repugnant. you are either for all of it or...none of it!
So that is a conflict in what you are saying if they were banned!
Why would you post that, if you feel that way about a building, full of folks and yelling fire?
I personally think musk can ban every single person on Twitter if he wants!

Why would you think I would not say, if I had or had not heard a statement before?

you're fukking with me. I mean, you must be if you think free speech, repugnant or hate speech and inciting violence is the same thing.

[jackpot269]

Did you not post that Rob Schneider statement?

[DwightShrute]

Did you not post that Rob Schneider statement?

you know I did.

[jackpot269]

you know I did.

Maybe this will clear up my stance on the free speech/social media issue

That post above was all about Robs statement. He was very clear.


Was antifa convicted of any of the listed offenses?
I have no problem with Musk banning them or anyone else just like previous owners


Here's my take on free speech and social media. I'll use Twitter just because it's what has gotten the attention lately

In the USA you have a right to free speech (exception do exist per SCOTUS) you do not have a right to be on social media, it's a privilege because it's a private company with an owner or owners who make rules for their business and if you want to be apart of their network you have to adhere to the rules at a minimum. Rules are subject to change and owners interpretation is final say.


Nobody wins win the government gets involved in our business's

The EU has warned Elon Musk that Twitter could be banned in Europe unless the billionaire abides by its strict rules on content moderation

This is exactly how they think. d2bets is already skirting the situation to change the narrative in his favor..

They will skirt, lie, pretend and if all else fails they pull out the race card.

This says it perfectly.

Uhhh, yeah. Same as before. He's realizing Twitter was doing what it had to do for survival, not for political bent.

Huh? By banning conservative voices and news stories detrimental to the democratic party? You must be kidding. The dems were using Twitter to do what they couldn't do because of the constitution. Banning speech they didn't agree with. Twitter did just that. If you think otherwise, you are only kidding yourself.

Twitter is up 50% and that's probably because it has the appearance of what Twitter was when it first come to be.

Just yesterday you appeared to be saying (for the umpteenth time) that "free speech is ALL SPEECH".

Not so much of the "ALL SPEECH" anymore today Dwight?

[d2bets]

And Elon said Kanye's image was an "incitement to violence". How so? If that's an incitement to violence, then anything can be.

Just an excuse to ban repugnant disgusting speech that decent people don't support.

Caveat: I'm certainly not defending or supporting Kanye. He's a piece of shit and should be banned.

It's the hypocrisy of the dwight's of the world.

I have learned that no matter what is said, some will take things literally when they can use it for their argument. For example, if I went to a comedy show and I said "I laughed my head off", there would be one or two that would call me a liar. Then I would either need to explain my comment and why my head is still attached to my body or just ignore the comment.

For the umpteenth time, in case you missed it, I have always been consistent that inciting violence doesn't fall under the free speech thing. I shouldn't be able to make make up lies about someone, post their address and invited people to come there at night to kill them. I think most, if not all, reasonable people can agree with this. Just as consensual sex is legal but with a child isn't no matter if its consensual.

one thing I try to do as much as possible is wait 24-72 hours when some story breaks. Most of the time they get it wrong immediately, whether its purposely or unintentionally. I do my best not to double down on instincts before being presented with new insights.

So as far as Kanye goes, I will wait to comment on his banning. That is no way makes me a hypocrite but I doubt that matters to you.

That's a nice try to walk back from your "ALL SPEECH" meme.

But that is just saying that you agree with censorship.

In the circumstances that suit you.

Ok explain why "incitement of violence" should be censored as I do not understand.

"Does saying Fauci should be killed for what he has done" fit your definition of incitement to violence?


Or even better, in your censorship regime, who gets to decide what is and what is not?



I'm afraid that I do understand, why your position in untenable. Look in the mirror for the one who may not...

I already posted an example of incitement of violence in a previous post to you. What is unclear somehow?

What do you think about the Fauci example you posted? Is that inciting violence? What is someone posted his address and offered payment for anyone willing to kill him?

I thought I was quite clear about what was unclear. Feel free to ignore it again if you like. I've had enough for now.
