[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder when the liberals here will realize Twitter is illustrating the dangers of partisanship. When Twitter was a liberal-run cesspool, you all had nothing to say except “go elsewhere if you don’t like it!” Well, now, the shoe’s on the other foot. Go elsewhere rings hollow, doesn’t it? Maybe just maybe the lesson is that politically-motivated moderation of social media is a problem? [/quote]

How was it a "cesspool?"

It was a "cesspool" because Twitter was occasionally and reluctantly taking action against your toxic disinformation?  It was a "cesspool" because reality was being allowed to flourish, instead of your far right wing bizarro propaganda and talking points?[/quote]
Example: all the Libs of TikTok did was quote leftist/liberals. That’s it. Banned.[/quote]

False.  That's not "all they did, that's it."

Her account spewed a lot of hate, made a lot of gross misrepresentations, encouraged targeting, harassment and violence toward numerous hospitals, and toward the LGBT community.

Libs of Tik Tok *is* the cesspool.[/quote]
Bull. Provide examples. [/quote]

DP.  Are you actually trying to deny this happened?  https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/02/lgbtq-threats-hospitals-libs-of-tiktok/[/quote]
I followed the entire saga tweet by tweet and examined wayback machine archives too (which was necessary after the hospital deleted the statements it had made on its own website). Libs of TikTok literally did not lie about a single thing. She quoted the hospital word for word and kept doing so.

See, you can argue that she has malicious intent in amplifying the damaging admissions made by the people and institutions she quotes. But you are outright lying to say she misrepresents anything. The fact that she doesn’t lie and just quotes insane, embarrassing, and disturbing material from people on the far left is what makes her so devastating and impossible to take down. Libel lawsuits will fail, she hasn’t ever broken the law, and she doesn’t even violate Twitter’s rules because quoting someone’s own words is allowed. [/quote]

Literally everything she does is to stitch together a false tapestry for her right wing audience that falsely portrays all libs as groomers and pedophiles or otherwise depraved and unhinged.  It's literally the one and only reason her account even exists.

And here you're ludicrously arguing she isn't misleading.  And, it wasn't just "quoting them" - her feed included commentary and editorializing, it misquoted, it fabricated quotes, it took quotes out of context, it constantly misrepresented over and over again.

Don't sit here peddling some fake BS claim that you literally read every single post of hers and saw no such thing because the rest of us did see it, repeatedly.[/quote]
Which quotes did she take out of context wrt the hospital? Based on the way you’ve come out swinging, I’m sure there are tons of examples, so please share some.[/quote]

Her "quotes from the hospital" are highly questionable. The only things Libs of Tik Tok cited were alleged calls that never even went beyond what was alleged to be hospital receptionists, Libs of Tik Tok never even spoke to any actual physicians or actual health care providers at the hospital, never had any consultation. No actual health care provider agreed to perform a hysterectomy on a child in the quotes and it would be HIGHLY unusual for a receptionist to make any such statements without an actual consultation, which is why her "quotes" are bogus. Libs of Tik Tok provide no names of anyone she spoke to, no one on record, and no actual hospital health care provider, administrator or anyone authorized to have that conversation or make those statements was ever cited.  It's just not credible.[/quote]

Meanwhile, based on her sketchy claims, the hospital received numerous bomb threats, death threats, et cetera.

Far right lunatics threatening to bomb a childrens' hospital and shoot random doctors and nurses.

Feverish imaginings about hysterectomies somehow warrants just killing kids outright by bombing or shooting up a childrens' hospital?  Truly sick and deranged.[/quote]
