Tucker Carlson and the "other Republicans" never actually left. |
Ummm https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/08/tech/parler-google-play-removed/index.html |
So the same people who work there who censored are telling us what’s what? Um. No |
There’s the MAGA playbook. When the facts conflict with your preferred worldview, baselessly deny they exist. |
More like I don’t trust the same people who engaged in shadow banning, etc. to do the right thing. |

Musk says he will allow “legal” speech and remove “illegal” speech, but laws are different around the world and there is a lot of gray area in the law everywhere. Twitter wasn’t blocking free speech. It removed Russian bots and the worst sources of harassment, fraud, and disinformation. It removed them reluctantly and only to avoid liability and regulation. Twitter is still full of right wing opinions, lies, and distortions. Musk is essentially inviting all the worst bad faith actors back while offering a nonsense standard of moderating “illegal” speech. It isn’t that simple. |
I guess she should have done her job in a more even-handed manner. Clearly if ISIS is allowed on but Trump isn’t? Problem |
Works for Putin too - Parallel propaganda universes … |
She did her job very well. It is a difficult balancing act but Twitter was still Profitable and normal people felt it was safer online platform. Now the crazies are taking over and silencing sound moral reason and common sense. |
You think she deserves to be threatened with violent rape because Trump was banned? WTF is wrong with you? |
I honestly think the whole thing is just a self-serving hedge because he assumes GOP takes Congress in November. Cozying up to GOP for some justice dept, sec, irs aid. Plus Biden and Dems are giving the farm to legacy automakers who have unions. That’s my theory. I don’t think Elon’s political or gives a darn shout online speech — he cares about $$$$. |
