Say it aint so ? Surely nazi crap is the frront line in the war for free expression ?

I hope my fellow "absolutists" on here can explain this strange decision.

Yep, left wing nutters were wrong and left for no reason, or should I say pretended to leave.

Too much over reaction by the far right and far left is quite predictable.

Swastika’s are now political speech? They’re are symbols of hate that can cause violence

How do they “cause violence”?

Is it like a magical spell where they force people to commit violence when they set eyes on it?

He has said, repeatedly, that the rules at Twitter have not changed, but would be applied equally, dumb-ass.

That's the problem the left has, their little Nazi propaganda machine is all brokey brokey and not just tossing off and censoring one side of the discussion. They are the ones shitting all over themselves. Nobody ever said people could act like abject assholes without consequence.

Now back to spying on and reporting your neighbors, Eel.

He owns it. He can ban who he wants.

That said, I wouldn’t ban anyone for anything short of things that aren’t protected by the First Amendment and even then probably just direct calls to imminent lawless action or child porn.

I hope he will lean hard towards free speech. He is generally speaking doing so.

Spreading hate can led to violence. Kanye west has a big social media following, so it’s best to denounce symbols of hate and give him a well deserved time out.

 

[Meister]

Is it because musk promised free speech as a "free speech absolutist". ?

WTF? That's the only reason???
It was okay when the democrats were doing it, wasn't it?
idiot

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Can you explain the years of censorship before Musk?

You miss the point as usual.
Nobody has any problem wth a nazi idiot getting banned.
The issue is the hypocrisy of musk. He is high from the fumes of his own shit.

The Star of David is a hate symbol?

I have a problem with it.

Free speech - this isn’t incitement to violence, this isn’t illegal.

It’s Musk’s company and he can do it, but I don’t agree with it. Is he better than the previous CEO and their untrustworthy “Trust and Safety Team” - who define “safety” as oh no, not opinions we don’t like, I feeeeel uNsAfE” - yes, yes of course he is.

Though in this case Mr. West appears to be having a mental breakdown and maybe a timeout would be good for him even if I don’t agree on principle.

If your hero would have just posted the Star of David that would be of course fine, but that’s not the only thing he posted. It’s cute that you have the back of Nazis though.

Look twitter nation. Meet your new boss… same as your old boss. Bwahahaha

No, I do not miss the point. The Left wants to control what is said, Kanye is just being used as a bludgen against free speech.

Now musk wants to control what is said. Hypocrite.

Im happy with musk doing it as well. Nazis should not have a platform.
But this isnt what he promised or what you loons were wanking over all summer.
He is not a free speech absolutist . He is a businessman pandering to the "woke" wishes of his sponsors.

As is normal.

 

[petro]

Ye...
The first African American White Supremacist Nazi...

Yet you and Western governments are supporting Nazis in Ukraine. What’s up with that?

How ironic. In a discussion about vaccines, I stated my reasons for not getting the vaccine and your response was: "Nope. You are just a victim of internet trolls feeding you iwth (sic) bullshit."

It never even occurred to you that maybe I was telling the truth and had my own ideas on the matter. You simply dismissed it out of hand and even refused to elaborate on your remarks when asked to do so.

So who's the absolutist here?

 

[Papageorgio]

Now musk wants to control what is said. Hypocrite.

So he is no different than the Twitter owners from before, yet the left for whatever reason hates him. I guess the left tolerance is only for those they agree with. To be fair the right seems to be the same way. The left proclaims they are tolerant so they are hypocritical.

It could be because your free speech is limited and I have stated this many times.

Twitter, Facebook and even USMB can limit what content you upload on their site, so let remember that and West is a fucking ignorant moron!

Ive got no problem with his banning decision. I am pointing out his hypocrisy. The type of ftee speech the right thought he would usher in is just not acceptable in a grown up media organisation.

Unless he hets a grip on it he will fail.
