Freedom of speech is about GOVERNMENT and being able to speak out against it not being racist or transphobic or misogynistic on Twitter. Some people just start throwing any -ism at something they don’t like. The example is here on this thread. Elon is a billionaire, powerful and successful straight man the perfect enemy this forum, so they don’t like him and he is now racist, transphobic and misogynistic. Without any back up. So you can see how wokeness gets abused and even damaged by this, I think he mostly means that people are going to able to speak their mind without sjws or people just getting them banned out of nowhere using these methods This happens all the time online not only on twitter tho. I do agree Free Speech is more about the government and not hate speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the CEO of Reddit admit to manually editing posts that criticised him? Didn't Reddit recently accept a 9-figure investment from Tencent, the most valuable Chinese company in the world? At this rate we'll all have migrated to the dark web in a few decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1991 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Tik Tok has out relevanced many social media platforms. So smart on his part. I hope his purchase doesn’t fundamentally change what twitter is. Despite his short comings, Elon is smart and could build upon what the platform already is.

Quiet the opposite Ms. Moon People will have to confirm who they say they are and become validated. This will eliminate the current malicious bots. There will be less trolls as people won't be able to hide behind a fake identity anymore, making people more accountable. Twitter now is in pits and had no end in sight. At least this gives Twitter a fresh start. Freedom of speech will always win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCK Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The true victims of tech censorship are progressives, those attempting to organise, reporters, protestors and marginalised people who’s tribulations go under-reported, are silenced, erased or ignored by society & the mainstream… not people like ******* Alex Jones, he’s doing just fine, what ruined him & what would ruin anyone who is actually a danger or defamatory, is the legal system that already exist. That being said, I don’t think Elon is genuine in his ambitions - they all sing a different tune when it’s their dirt being aired. We’ll see.

Without any back up. No. Elon has very legitimate criticisms against him. I’ve hated him for almost a decade. As a computer scientist, I find his fearmongering around robots taking over the world and insisting he is more knowledgeable on AI than AI researchers to be laughable and frustrating. However, he is a man that really believes his own hype of being a real-world Tony Stark. So he has gone out of the way to attack people and accuse them of being pedophiles for disagreeing with an idea he concocted on Twitter [x]. On top of that, he is a prominent vector for spreading disinformation about COVID and is renown for enforcing inhumane working conditions on his employees. An example is when he forced employees to work in person with little protections at the start of the pandemic. This is because he refused to acknowledge the severity of COVID, often characterizing it as “fascist” [x]. There is PLENTY to hate about Elon Musk. He’s been an insufferable narcissist his entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slik Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 People acting like Elon is some demon: * Free internet in Ukraine during the Russian attack (Space X even thwarted a jamming attempt the other day by Russia) * Has offered before to end world hunger * Neuralink - experimenting with ways to allow people w/ Brain and Spinal injuries including paralysis to communicate using computers * Big advocate for solar and clean energies (Tesla is the reason there are so many electric cars being made again!) * Historically, innovation in space travel has led to innovation in multiple aspects of every day life * DOGE, his favorite crypto to promote, is actually an acronym for Do Only Good Everyday * Very against market manipulation and short selling stocks, an extremely shady and morally corrupt practice by some hedge funds on Wall Street.
