Define "hate speech." The problem is the left tends to label anything they don't agree with as "hate speech."

Nonetheless, I don't necessarily support what Twitter is doing unless there is actual evidence of libelous intent.

Don'tcha just hate that?

And he wonders why advertisers are fleeing the platform?

Funny how for 8 years, all we heard is hate from the left, until the Right found one thing to hate, the stolen 2020 election, then overnight, the Left discovered and criminalized disagreeing with them (hate)!

He is killing Twitter. I have been off for months and don't miss it. He will just write off the loss.

Sounds like you miss it, the way you are whining.
But you whine about everything that makes sense.

It's not Twitter. You are right, Twitter is now dead.

It's X. Didn't you notice?

Sorry you don't like a level playing field.

I can't understand why you like being here. . .

Like Twitter, USMB strives for a level playing field.

It's called free speech. That is what you are against. You want one point of view allowed to be expressed, and any other point of view repressed.
If you can't handle someone else's opinion, then it's good that you left the platform...

 

[MisterBeale]

There are other things we should be more concerned with that Musk is screwing up.

This is just a distraction IMO.

Twitter Has Complied With Almost Every Government Request For Censorship Since Musk Took Over, Report Finds

The social media platform has not reported denying any government requests since Musk bought it, a change from its previous ownership.

Twitter is complying with more government demands under Elon Musk

The company has not refused a single request since Musk took ownership, according to self-reported data.

Musk? Is just doing his duty to distract everyone. . . . IMO.

Do you think you're in Canada or the UK? Hate speech isn't a crime.

Btw, I hate you too.

We saw how you wanted a level playing field when trump tried to take away people's votes. Right....

He's losing money big time, cause he is allowing hate filled posters on X. Advertiser don't want anything to do with the dirt they are reading.

I notice you didn't even try to define Hate Speech.

Take away their votes? He just wanted them to show the same ID they did when they bought their 40 oz malt liquor.
Plus you Dims are too lazy to actually stand in line and vote.

In a release, Imran Ahmed, CEO of the CCDH, said that Musk’s actions attempt to “silence honest criticism and independent research.”

“Advertisers are fleeing his platform for one clear reason: Elon Musk has supported the proliferation of hate and racism on it, and he doesn’t care to stop it,” Ahmed said, adding, “This should be the last time anyone dares to claim Musk is a ‘free speech absolutist.’” ibid

In fact, it has nothing to do with ‘free speech’ at all.

The doctrine of free speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons and/or private entities, such as social media platforms.

Social media platforms that edit their content to exclude rightwing hate speech aren’t ‘violating’ anyone’s ‘free speech.’

As for Musk and his lawsuit, it’s yet another example of rightwing hypocrisy and authoritarianism seeking to silence warranted opposition.

Yet another totally opposite and backwards post by Mrs Jones, the queen of deception and deflection.

Really? Who gets to decide what is hate and what is racism?

• Hate of the Left's policies?
• You can have posts involving bias or prejudice, but in order for a post to involve RACISM, the actor would have to carry out an action against someone or others instigated solely on their race in an effort to bring harm to them.

That's a nice way of just saying that advertisers fleeing Twitter are only doing so because Musk took the place over and cleaned it up from leftwing censorship, so now you commies are trying to put him out of business like you tried with Mr. Pillow guy.

You been on Mars. trump has been trying to destroy votes for nearly three years. He is a pathological liar.
